Quick answers to common questions about Dr. P K Raju
Knee replacement surgery may be recommended when advanced knee arthritis causes persistent pain, stiffness and difficulty walking despite medication, physiotherapy and other non-surgical treatments. An orthopedic surgeon evaluates the extent of joint damage before recommending surgery.
Patients often begin walking with assistance shortly after surgery. Functional recovery generally progresses over several weeks, while more complete recovery can take several months depending on age, overall health and rehabilitation.
Partial knee replacement replaces only the damaged portion of the knee joint, whereas total knee replacement replaces the major damaged joint surfaces. The appropriate procedure depends on the location and severity of arthritis and the condition of the knee ligaments.
Persistent hip pain, difficulty walking, restricted hip movement, sleep disruption caused by pain and advanced joint damage may indicate the need for an orthopedic evaluation. Surgery is generally considered when appropriate conservative treatments are unsuccessful.
Some meniscus tears can be managed without surgery using physiotherapy, activity modification and pain management. Other tears, particularly those causing persistent locking or mechanical symptoms, may require arthroscopic treatment.
