Knee pain at the joint line on either side of the knee could be the result of severe “bone on bone” arthritis! This happens when the cartilage of your knee wears away causing the bones to rub more closely against each other causing pain, swelling and stiffness. This can also cause the formation of bone spurs. Dr. Slimack and Dr. Main specialize in the treatment of these symptoms.

Do you have pain in the front of your hip or groin? Is it painful especially when getting up from a seated position, or during increased activity? This can be the result of “bone on bone” arthritis, and can be mistaken for a chronic pulled muscle. It can affect any age group. Call to schedule your appointment today to get evaluated by Dr. Slimack. He specializes in the evaluation and treatment of hips and knees. He currently is doing outpatient anterior (from the front) total hip replacements at the Wisconsin specialty surgery center where his patients are up and walking within hours after surgery!
