02 KNEEO Joint Preservation
KNEEO Joint Preservation
Protect the natural knee. Delay replacement when appropriate.
Joint preservation is a distinct clinical pathway for patients whose knee can still benefit from biological, mechanical or rehabilitation-based strategies. The plan is matched to symptoms, cartilage, meniscus, alignment, age and activity—not to age alone.
Meniscus preservationRepair-first strategies when the tear pattern and tissue quality allow.
Cartilage restorationCartilage procedures selected for the lesion, alignment, age and activity level.
Alignment correctionHTO or DFO to redistribute load in carefully selected knees.
Targeted injectionsEvidence-aware use of steroid, hyaluronic acid, PRP and combination options.
Strength & load managementPhysiotherapy, weight guidance and activity modification to protect the joint.
Preservation-first planningA complete review before deciding whether replacement is truly necessary.

Clear answers.
Better next steps.
General guidance for common knee concerns. Your diagnosis and treatment plan still depend on a clinical assessment.
When should I see a knee specialist?
Consider a specialist review when pain, swelling, locking, instability or reduced movement persists, follows an injury, or starts limiting walking, stairs, work or sport. Seek urgent care after major trauma, inability to bear weight, a hot swollen joint or fever.
Does every ACL tear need surgery?
No. The plan depends on instability, associated meniscus or cartilage injury, age, activity goals and response to rehabilitation. Some knees do well with structured rehabilitation; others benefit from reconstruction after clinical assessment.
What does joint preservation mean?
Joint preservation aims to protect the natural knee using rehabilitation, load and weight management, selected injections, meniscus or cartilage procedures, and alignment correction when clinically appropriate.
Can knee replacement be delayed?
Sometimes. Exercise, weight management, medicines, injections or joint-preservation treatment may help selected patients. Replacement is considered when arthritis is advanced and symptoms remain life-limiting despite suitable non-operative care.
