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
