Managing
Osteoarthritis with the Repicci II Unicondylar Program
|
INTRODUCTION
Millions of people suffer from arthritis
of the knee. Techniques and technology are rapidly evolving, providing
treatment to restore people to pain-free, active living. In the
past, the standard of care for end stage osteoarthritis has been
total knee replacement. This is effective in relieving pain and
restoring function. However, total knee replacement is an invasive
procedure that may not be necessary for all patients.
John Repicci, D.D.S., M.D. of Buffalo,
New York, has worked for the past 20 years on an innovative option
for the treatment of osteoarthritis: the result is the development
of the Repicci IIª Unicondylar Program. This unique treatment
option offers distinct advantages over total knee replacement
surgery, when applied to the appropriate patient indications.
