Should I see an orthopedist or podiatrist for ankle pain?
See an orthopedist specializing in foot and ankle disorders. Thanks Ron LaButti READ MORE
My mother is diagnosed with osteonecrosis. Is there a treatment for this condition?
It depends on where it is. If it is in the hip then a total hip replacement might be needed. Thanks, Ron LaButti READ MORE
partial vs full joint replacment
The knee has three compartments. A partial replacement only resurfaces one compartment. A total replacement resurfaces all three compartments. With a partial replacement the other compartments can become affected by arthritis over time. This then requires a conversion of the partial to a total knee replacement. READ MORE
My knee grinds when I climb stairs. What can be done?
It sounds like some arthritis under your knee cap. Initial treatment for arthritis is usually conservative treatment like NSAIDS, physical therapy, injections. When the arthritis is "bone on bone" and pain is severe, constant and disabling then knee replacement is considered. READ MORE
