Joint-Saving Knee Surgery

For many of us, wear and tear arthritis is an inevitable part of aging. Thousands of people have knee pain related to arthritis, and many go on to have knee replacements. But for younger patients, doctors at Mayo Clinic have another option. They’re using high-tech computers to realign knee joints and prevent the need of a total knee replacement.

    I am 7o years old & am severe knee p\ain in both in knees. It seems to more in th inside of knee joint. I get an electrical sharp that shoods thru my knee whedther I stand, sit, lye done. It just appears at random & is extremely uncomfortable. The mere stand up & walking is constant pain – I hang on the wall of my house. Very limited ativity. I think it is the synovial joint fluid in the bursa sac that I think is inflamed & ex-ray indicated some spurs inth tibia part of the bone and Humara top shin part suffers these electical shocks. My knees swell & hurt quite a bit.
