Frequently Asked Questions
Is GAE a knee replacement alternative?›
GAE may be an option for selected knee osteoarthritis patients, especially when inflammation contributes to pain. It is not right for every patient and does not replace a full orthopedic evaluation.
Can I avoid knee replacement permanently?›
Some patients can delay or avoid surgery, while others eventually need joint replacement. The right plan depends on arthritis severity, symptoms, imaging, and health goals.
Do Great Neck patients need to travel to Manhattan for GAE evaluation?›
No. M&S evaluates Long Island patients at the Great Neck office and coordinates next steps close to home when possible.
