Description: Dr. McKeon will draw from his training and experience to clearly and concisely outline a useful and effective approach to osteoarthritis and the arthritic knee. Correct diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of patients presenting with knee problems is essential for the occupational medicine clinician. Toward this end, Dr. McKeon will review knee anatomy, office based physical examination of knee problems, and the differential diagnosis of osteoarthritis. Both non operative and operative management will be thoroughly reviewed. Dr. McKeon will identify criteria for referral to an orthopedic surgeon. He will also address arthroscopic repairs.
