This preoperative teaching program focuses on one of the most common adult surgical procedures – knee arthroscopy.

The program lets patients learn about basic anatomy and function of the knee, surgical techniques, risks, benefits and postoperative care.

The power of multimedia also lets patients meet others who have dealt successfully with these issues. Olympic Gold Medal skier Picabo Street is one individual who shares her experiences.

This program is currently available on CD-ROM and via the internet. Produced by the Center of Excellence for Medical Multimedia.
