In the majority of cases, knee replacement surgery is only considered after a patient has tried more conservative treatments without success. For example, most physicians recommend patients participate in physical therapy, wear a knee brace, or try regenerative medicines such as platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy before undergoing surgery. If you live in Tampa, Florida, and are interested in learning about your knee pain treatment options, the best course of action is to consult with an orthopedic physician. These specialists are uniquely trained to address musculoskeletal issues, such as joint pain.

Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group in Tampa, FL, is led by board-certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. Daniel Murphy, a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons who also serves on the medical staffs of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Yankees. Dr. Murphy performs knee replacement surgery using the latest implant technology and minimally invasive techniques to achieve the best possible outcomes for his patients. Joint replacement surgery is usually followed by a regimen of physical therapy to help facilitate healing and restore range of motion.
