Hurting in North Alabama asked:

I’m seeking alternatives to traditional knee replacement surgery. I would like to hear from arthritis and orthopedic patients who have experienced or investigated biologic (natural) joint replacements, versus bionic (artificial) joint replacements. I also would like to hear from people who know of any other total knee replacement alternatives currently available. Thank you.

For surgery in many cases.

Ask your orthopedic surgeon about artificial synovial fluid. SYNOVISC (I think). Works to delay the surgery.

Right now the biological therapies are all in the experimental stages. Regrowing the cartilage and ligaments would be ideal, but they haven’t got there yet.
