Dr. Young-Min Lee
Board-certified orthopedic surgeon · Chief Director
Hello, **I am Dr. Young-Min Lee, Chief Director of Seoul One Hospital.** Having knee or shoulder pain doesn't mean every patient needs the same treatment. The appropriate treatment depends on the cause of pain, the extent of joint damage, and usual activity level. **For major joint conditions involving the knee and shoulder, it's important not only to resolve pain but also to preserve joint function as much as possible.** Rather than defaulting to surgery, I thoroughly review whether conservative treatment is suitable, and if surgery is needed, I choose the method that fits the patient's condition—explaining clearly so patients can understand and decide on their treatment process.
