We are specialized in total management of all kinds of arthritis, especially osteoarthritis of the knee joint*. After more than 10 years’ clinical observation and research, we have conceptualized a novel concept for total management of OA knee. This concept, which we call “Knee Health Promotion Option (KHPO)” has brought new lives for many of our patients bothered by chronic disability.

*Osteoarthritis of the knee joint is one of the five leading causes of disability among elderly men and women. About 25 percent of all adults with OA Knee had some type of surgery. The procedure most frequently performed for patients with OA Knee is a total knee joint replacement.

Currently, owing to the lack of knowledge about the definite etiologic factor of OA knee, none of the common available treatment options including NSAIDs, glucosamine or hyaluronic acid injection is curative. The following natural course is a common understanding:

Before medication	2 years after treatment	Total knee replacement

KHPO is a new concept of global management of the degenerative knee. This concept has been conceptualized based on our 10 years’ clinical experience and basic research. The main different point is that we believe most OA knees, if being treated before their irreversible stage, is curable. This revolutionary concept is based on our discovery of the etiologic factors causing degeneration of most knees. A novel “Arthroscopic Cartilage Regeneration Facilitating Procedure (ACRFP)” has been developed accordingly in our center to eradicate these factors and improve the environment of the knee for cartilage regeneration.

The clinical results of 200 patients received KHPO in 2001 (follow-up > 5 years) are shown in the following:

If your OA knee is already stage IV, we might recommend you to receive either unicompartmental arthroplasty or total joint replacement according to the extend of the involvement. Our team is highly specialized in performing arthroplasty. The whole team will accompany you through the whole clinical pathway. A third-party investigation about patient satisfaction has given us the honor of the best among the hospitals in this region. Yearly, more than 300 patients will received this procedure in our center.
