Frequently asked questions
What kind of knee pain should be evaluated?
Pain that limits walking, stairs, sleep, work, or daily activities deserves a specialist exam, especially if it persists or keeps returning.
Can M&S help if I want to avoid knee replacement?
For some patients, non-surgical options may help manage symptoms or delay surgery. A consultation is required to determine whether those options fit your condition.
What is GAE?
Genicular artery embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that may help selected patients with chronic knee osteoarthritis pain by targeting abnormal inflammatory blood flow around the knee.
Will I need imaging?
Many knee pain evaluations involve X-rays, MRI review, or ultrasound depending on symptoms and exam findings.
Is everyone a candidate for GAE?
No. Candidacy depends on diagnosis, imaging, symptoms, health history, and prior treatments.
