Do You Really Need Knee Replacement Surgery?

Knee pain is one of the most common joint complaints. However, it is often wrongly attributed to osteoarthritis, which leads to unnecessary knee replacement surgeries. Consultant orthopaedic surgeon Dr Rajesh Singh walks us through the different causes of knee pain and whether therapies like stem cells, hyaluronic acid injections and platelet-rich plasma injections are as promising as they sound.
