Not all knee pain needs surgery — but when it does, a knee replacement can be life-changing. So how do you know when it’s time?

In this episode, we break down the real reasons people get knee replacements and what to expect from the procedure. Whether you’re dealing with arthritis, past injuries, or worsening pain, understanding your treatment options is key to long-term success.

You’ll learn:

  • The most common conditions that lead to surgery (like osteoarthritis and trauma)
  • When conservative treatments stop working
  • What knee replacements can and can’t fix
  • Realistic outcomes for pain, mobility, and activity
  • Why setting goals matters for recovery
  • What research and clinical experience say about results

If you're considering surgery — or supporting someone who is — this episode provides a balanced, doctor-approved guide to making informed decisions.
