Frequently Asked Questions
Is GAE available for Queens patients?›
Yes. M&S evaluates Queens patients for GAE through the Forest Hills office and coordinates treatment planning with Dr. Amir Salem.
Does GAE replace orthopedic care?›
No. GAE is part of a coordinated knee pain plan and may be considered alongside orthopedic evaluation, therapy, injections, PRP, bracing, or surgery when appropriate.
Who is not a candidate for GAE?›
Patients need an individual evaluation. Severe joint deformity, advanced mechanical instability, infection, certain vascular anatomy, or pain that is not primarily arthritis-related may change the recommendation.
Can GAE help avoid knee replacement?›
GAE may help selected knee osteoarthritis patients delay or avoid knee replacement, but it is not a guarantee and does not rebuild cartilage. The right plan depends on symptoms, imaging, arthritis severity, and health goals.
