Told you need a total knee replacement? You may have options.
Upload your knee X-rays for an AI-assisted KOGS Knee Check. In under a minute you'll see whether a less invasive option — partial or kneecap-only replacement — could be appropriate to discuss with Dr Oosthuizen.
Not a diagnosis. Not for emergencies.
This screening is preliminary and is an adjunct to in-person clinical care, not a substitute for it. It does not replace a consultation, a physical examination, a radiology report or a treatment plan.
If you have severe pain, an inability to bear weight, fever, signs of infection, or any medical emergency, contact emergency services (10177) or go to your nearest emergency unit.
Upload your X-ray
Phone photo or scan. A single front view is enough to begin.
