(239) 215-2008 CONDITIONS & TREATMENTS KNEE Fort Myers Fellowship-Trained Knee Specialists Personalized Care for Every Patient With eight moving parts, it’s little wonder that the knee, which must carry our full weight, suffers frequent injury. Post-injury arthritis is also quite common. Osteoarthritis causes pain, inflammation, joint degeneration and deterioration, and is the primary reason for total knee replacement. At Orthopedic Specialists of SW Florida, our practice philosophy is to treat early with noninvasive, conservative treatments for degenerative conditions. Our goal is to reduce pain and improve function. Knee Pain Knee pain occurs in three cases: traumatic injury to bone, ligaments and cartilage, arthritis, and overuse tendinitis, arthritis and bursitis. Knee pain is often accompanied by difficulties with walking such as moving up and down stairs, limping, stiffness, locked knee, redness and swelling, and the inability to bend or extend the knee.
