Whatever your condition may be, whatever you need in terms of diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation, for knee care that's second to none in Northeastern Pennsylvania, you'll find the finest orthopaedic services at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital.

The orthopaedic surgeons at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital are broadly skilled in the most up-to-date arthroscopic methodologies and techniques. The same applies to our extensive knee joint replacement capabilities.

Total knee replacement (knee arthroplasty) is a major procedure in which the injured or damaged parts of the knee may be replaced with artificial parts. Osteoarthritis is usually an underlying factor in choosing knee replacement. Other factors that may make you a candidate for this procedure include:

• Regular, intense pain
• Pain that's severe enough to restrict your work, recreation and other ordinary activities
• Significant stiffness, instability or deformity in the knee

In all cases, the experts at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital will provide you with care that's advanced, thorough and appropriate to your particular condition. From the smallest arthroscopic procedure to total knee replacement, count on us for the treatment, therapy and rehabilitation you need to return to pain-free living and far better quality of life.
