Suggest Treatment For Knee Collapsing

I have had two occurrences of my knee collapsing, causing me to fall over the past two weeks. I have had lateral cartilage removal over 35 years ago and have been told my knee is full of arthritis. I have also had a patellar incident after a skiing injury also many years ago. I am an active senior who enjoys golf, swimming and biking and do not want to keep falling. What to do

Hello,

I have studied your case.

Total knee joint replacement patient find good difference in mobility after joint replacement.
So you can do TKR after consulting joint replacement surgeon for your knee arthritis.

Post operative Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises for early recovery.
