What is the treatment option for osteoarthritis?
That's great information. Is surgery a common option for osteoarthritis?
Surgery is typically only considered for severe cases of osteoarthritis that have not responded to other treatment options. The most common surgical procedures for osteoarthritis include joint replacement surgery or joint resurfacing surgery. These surgeries can help alleviate pain and improve mobility in the affected joint, but do come with some risks and require a period of recovery time.
