Why Knee Replacement is Necessary

Knee replacement surgery becomes necessary when the knee joint is severely damaged due to conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis. These conditions can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, significantly impacting the quality of life.

The procedure involves replacing the damaged joint surfaces with artificial components, which can significantly reduce pain and improve function. The benefits of knee replacement include:

• Pain Relief: Most patients experience a significant reduction in pain after surgery.

• Improved Mobility: Enhanced range of motion allows for a more active lifestyle.

• Better Quality of Life: Patients often report increased satisfaction and improved daily activities post-surgery.

At Apollo Hospitals Indore, we utilize the latest advancements in orthopedic technology to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Risks of Delay

Delaying knee replacement surgery can lead to several complications that may worsen over time. As the condition of the knee deteriorates, patients may experience:

• Increased Pain: Chronic pain can become more severe, making daily activities increasingly difficult.

• Joint Deformity: Prolonged damage can lead to deformities that complicate surgical intervention.

• Muscle Weakness: Reduced mobility can lead to muscle atrophy, making recovery more challenging post-surgery.

• Reduced Quality of Life: Ongoing pain and limited mobility can lead to depression and a decline in overall well-being.

Timely intervention is crucial. At Apollo Hospitals Indore, we emphasize the importance of early consultation to assess your condition and discuss the best treatment options available.
