Welcome To The Knee-Replacement Decision Aid Surgery may or may not be the right choice for you. Only careful discussion and thought can help you decide whether or not to have surgery.
Your doctor may recommend knee replacement when:
- Your pain from knee arthritis limits what you are able to do.
- Your knee pain has not improved with other treatment.
- You understand what surgery and recovery after surgery will be like.
This Decision Aid will lead you through three steps, in three different sections. Some of these steps will begin with a few questions. You can then read and learn about knee-replacement or surgery, based on the answers you have given.
You may print out your personal report and bring it to your health care provider, if you wish.
