Dr Peter Mulhern has enjoyed the opportunity to treat many patients
over the course of his career, particularly those struggling with the
stiffness, immobility and pain of an injured or affected joint. An orthopaedic
surgeon for nearly 30 years. Dr. Mulhern has provided the procedures patients
have needed not just to achieve relief from joint pain, but to begin the
process of returning normal function and movement to the affected area.
As one who currently focuses on total joint replacement surgery,
particularly that of the knee, shoulder and hip, Peter Mulhern has consulted
many patients struggling with a chronic and/or painful knee condition. As he
knows, total knee replacement isn’t for everyone, though it is often
recommended by surgeons in cases of:
- Constant severe or moderate knee pain while the knee is at rest.
- Severe stiffness or pain that prevents the patient from going up and down stairs, walking or standing up/sitting down.
- An unusual knee deformity, namely a bowing occurring in or out of the patient’s knee.
- Chronic inflammation and swelling that sees no improvement with medications or rest.
- A lack of improvement following the application of other treatments, including such common methods as cortisone injections, anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, lubricating injections or other types of surgery.
The above list represents common reasons why an orthopaedic
surgeon may recommend total knee replacement, and is not comprehensive. It is
recommended that anyone struggling with knee or other joint conditions to
consult carefully with an orthopaedic physician, such as Peter Mulhern, and to
weigh the pros and cons of all treatment options available.
