Mr. Thompson is a 55-year-old male with progressive left knee pain over the past 5 years. He has failed conservative management including physical therapy (completed 12 sessions), NSAIDs, corticosteroid injections (3 total, last injection 2024-01-15 with minimal relief), and hyaluronic acid injections. Weight-bearing X-rays demonstrate bone-on-bone arthritis with complete loss of joint space in the medial compartment, osteophyte formation, and subchondral sclerosis.

Total knee arthroplasty is medically necessary for Mr. Thompson. He has exhausted all conservative treatment options without adequate relief. His quality of life is significantly impacted, and he is at risk for further functional decline. The procedure is expected to relieve pain, restore function, and allow return to work activities. Without surgical intervention, patient will continue to deteriorate with worsening pain, immobility, and potential need for chronic opioid therapy.
