4 Signs That You Might Need Knee Surgery


4  Signs That You Might Need Knee Surgery



If chronic knee pain has been your constant companion for sometime now, maybe it is time to consider knee replacement surgery. But before advising a patient on knee replacement surgery, doctors would be looking at your symptoms, which would suggest permanent degeneration of your knees.

Dr Ramesh Ranka, Chief Orthopedic surgeon at the Ranka Hospital also one of the best 
best knee replacement surgeon in pune
suggests the following key factors that patients should be aware of and alert their doctor about, so that further course of treatment including knee replacement can be explored.

  •       Chronic pain that doesn’t go away are your first signs that damage is quite extensive on the knees and the osteoarthritis has advanced. This is especially true, if chronic knee pain is hampering you from performing your daily activities.


  • ·    When overall movement has been severely hampered --be it rising out of bed without knee pain, climbing of stairs, getting in and out of your car—then it is time to explore knee replacement surgery to improve overall quality of life.



  • ·    Swelling in the knee or change in shape of the knee joint is a cause of concern. If you can feel grating of your knee joints, or your knee freezes up making getting up and moving around with ease difficult, it is a sign that degeneration has set in.


  • If you have exhausted all non-surgical options including physiotherapy and medication, and steroids in the affected area. If all non-surgical treatment is not proving effective, then knee replacement surgery is the best way forward.
