VIDEO: Dr. O'Connor - Knee Replacement, Who Is A Good Candidate For This?

Dr. O'Connor describes who is a good candidate for a knee replacement.

Dr. O'Connor:
A woman is a great candidate for knee replacement surgery who has severe or moderately severe arthritis and her pain is no longer being controlled by medication, simple over-the-counter medication, or even some prescription arthritis medication, and she can’t do the things she wants to do because her knee pain is stopping her from being active.
