❓ When Should You Consider Knee Replacement?
Knee pain is one of the most common orthopaedic problems, especially after the age of 40. Many patients often ask:
“When is the right time for knee replacement surgery?”
Knee replacement is recommended when chronic knee pain and stiffness start affecting your daily activities and quality of life.
You should consider knee replacement surgery if you experience:
-Persistent knee pain even while resting
-Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair
-Severe stiffness limiting knee movement
-Swelling that does not improve with treatment
-Knee deformity (bowing or bending)
-Dependence on painkillers for daily activities
👉 These are clear indicators of advanced knee arthritis.
🧬 Common Causes of Severe Knee Pain-
-Osteoarthritis (wear and tear of the joint)
-Rheumatoid arthritis
-Post-traumatic arthritis (after injury)
-Advanced cartilage damage
⚡ When Non-Surgical Treatment Is Not Enough
In early stages, knee pain can be managed with:
✔ Medications
✔ Physiotherapy
