LASIXÂ® (furosemide) is a potent diuretic which, if given in excessive amounts, can lead to a profound diuresis with water and electrolyte depletion. Therefore, careful medical supervision is required and dose and dose schedule must be adjusted to the individual patient's needs.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis. It is sometimes called degenerative joint disease or wear and tear arthritis. It most frequently occurs in the hands, hips, and knees. With OA, the cartilage and bones within a joint begin to break down.
A prosthesisâwhich may also be called an implantâtakes the place of the damaged area of the knee, leaving the other compartments intact. (Partial knee replacement surgery may also be referred to as partial knee resurfacing, unicondylar knee surgery, unicondylar knee replacement, or unicondylar knee arthroplasty.)
