The first step before even thinking about surgical treatments is to get a clear and specific diagnosis of exactly what’s actually wrong inside your knee. This requires a proper full face-to-face assessment, including a review of all relevant imaging (X-rays, MRI, CT or Ultrasound). Only then can one have a proper meaningful discussion about the potential treatment options and all of their various pros and cons.
