Performing a surgery always comes to a step after non-surgical interventions are tried. But for How Long? When to Say Enough? I Would like to share the experience of one such patient who came to me with complaints of knee pain since 7 years with difficulty in walking, climbing stairs, and even getting in and out of the car and thus hampering his activities of daily living. After a thorough examination and seeing the x-rays, I realized the knees had worn out beyond a point and the patient would benefit only with a Total Knee Replacement. Hence, I advised the patient to strongly think about it. But he being scared and not very comfortable with the idea of going under the knife, he tried to pull on with non-surgical treatment, and the majority of it was with pain killers. Over time his requirement of these painkillers only grew.
Knee Replacement surgery is a surgery performed for disabling arthritis of the knee joint. When the pain from knee arthritis starts hampering a person’s day-to-day life, and non-surgical methods fail to give lasting relief, it is the best time to consider the surgical option of either a partial or a total knee replacement. Although it is generally preferred to undergo surgery after the age of 55-60 years, there is no ideal age. The goal of performing a knee replacement is to reduce pain, improve one's quality of life and maintain fitness. There is one main concern of performing a Total Knee Replacement in younger patients, is that over time, the replaced knee can wear off and a revision surgery could be required. One of the factors that determine the longevity of the implant is the use and loading of the joint.
You have pain in the shoulder region and difficulty in movements at the shoulder joint, more often than not, it is labeled as a ‘Frozen Shoulder’. It could definitely be a frozen shoulder, but not always.The shoulder pain could be because of many reasons. Our Shoulder joint is made up of three bones viz, Humerus, Scapula and Clavicle. A combination of muscles, tendons and ligaments work in tandem for the smooth functioning of the shoulder joint. With so many bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments involved, the cause of the shoulder pain and immobility could differ.
