Doc Esser, WDR
How do I get the best treatment for my knee?
I often see patients in my practice who wonder whether an artificial knee joint is really necessary. The new episode of Doc Esser is all about this: how to recognize when conservative therapies are sufficient – and when an operation is actually indicated. With voices from sufferers like Toni Schumacher and experts who prove that around a quarter of operations could be avoided with timely, appropriate treatment. I answer specific questions in this article.
