what to do for osteoarthritis of the knee
Osteotomy is a surgery that repositions or reshapes the bones in your knee where osteoarthritis has caused damage. This procedure can only be done when only one area or side of your knee is damaged. The procedure changes the position or alignment of the knee so your weight shifts away from the damaged area.
Water exercise is a great option for people with osteoarthritis. It has low resistance and is particularly easy on sore joints. Use pool noodles and water weights to amp up the resistance for a better work out. Many recreation centers offer water aerobic classes.
