The learning center on the app provides educational tools and references for both non-operative and operative treatment options. There is conversational text, pictures, and videos to give you a broader understanding of the nature of knee arthritis and how an orthopaedic surgeon can treat it. 

Checklist

The extensive checklist resource is available to help you stay up to date and informed around the time of your surgery, including questions to ask when choosing a surgeon and what to know at your pre-operative visit. The stories section will allow you to read personal experiences of others who have suffered from knee arthritis, including stories of their recovery and return. You can post your own stories or comments to help empower other individuals going through this process.
