The bottom line is that arthritis of the knee is not an acute problem and there is no “urgent” or “emergency” surgery needed to definitively treat knee arthritis.
Painful arthritis of the knee affects up to 10% of the general United States population over 65 years of age. As a result, data estimates that approximately 350,000 total knee replacements are performed each year in the United States.
Although surgery itself can be a significant source of stress for patients about to undergo a joint replacement, many patients seem to have more apprehension about the anesthesia than any other aspect of the procedure.
Dr. Lynch is a native of the New Haven area, born at Yale-New Haven Hospital and raised in the Spring Glen area of Hamden.

After completing his five year orthopaedic surgery residency at the University of Maryland Medical Center/R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, Maryland, he traveled to Denver, Colorado, where he spent a year as a Fellow specializing in Adult Hip and Knee Reconstruction at Colorado Joint Replacement.
