Knee pain is one of the most common problems affecting adults and senior citizens. While early knee problems can often be managed with medicines, exercises, and lifestyle changes, some conditions progress to a stage where knee replacement surgery becomes the best option.
At Kamal Hospital, Kaushambi, Dr. TS Arora, an experienced orthopaedic surgeon, helps patients decide the right time for knee replacement—neither too early nor too late.
What Is Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee replacement surgery (also called knee arthroplasty) is a procedure in which damaged cartilage and bone of the knee joint are replaced with high-quality artificial implants. The goal is to:
- Relieve chronic knee pain
- Restore walking ability
- Improve joint movement
- Improve overall quality of life
Common Conditions That May Require Knee Replacement
Knee replacement is usually recommended for patients suffering from:
- Severe osteoarthritis of the knee
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Advanced knee joint degeneration
- Old knee injuries or deformities
- Failure of non-surgical treatments
Key Signs You May Need Knee Replacement Surgery
1️⃣ Persistent Knee Pain
If knee pain continues even after medication, physiotherapy, or injections—and affects sleep or daily activities—it may be time to consider surgery.
2️⃣ Difficulty Walking or Standing
Pain while walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair is a strong indicator of advanced knee damage.
3️⃣ Knee Stiffness & Reduced Movement
If your knee feels stiff and bending or straightening it becomes difficult, joint damage may be severe.
4️⃣ Bowing or Deformity of the Knee
Visible changes in knee shape (bow legs or knock knees) often indicate advanced arthritis.
5️⃣ Poor Quality of Life
When knee pain limits independence, social life, or work, knee replacement can be life-changing.
Is Knee Replacement the First Treatment Option?
No. According to Dr. TS Arora, knee replacement is considered only after conservative treatments fail, such as:
- Pain medications
- Weight management
- Knee strengthening exercises
- Physiotherapy
- Knee injections
Surgery is recommended only when pain and disability become severe.
