While non-surgical treatments are often attempted for initial treatment, there are situations where surgery becomes the recommended or necessary treatment. The need for surgery depends on the activity of the patient and the demands the individual needs to put on his\/her knee. If you have a sedentary life you may be able to manage. However, recurrent falls or instabilities may make you vulnerable to early degeneration of the knee, and in such situations it is wise to see Dr. Millstein so he can examine you and determine if surgery is necessary.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e83098 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0e83098\"
