If you are experiencing knee pain, the first thought that often comes to mind is surgery. But is a knee replacement always the answer? In this short and informative video, Dr. Divyesh Bukalsaria shares an important insight that many patients overlook. Not every person with knee pain needs knee replacement surgery.
Dr. Bukalsaria explains that the decision should be based on how much your daily life is affected. For example, if walking even short distances like 100 meters becomes difficult, climbing up or down stairs feels painful, or sitting cross-legged is no longer comfortable, these could be signs that your knee joint needs closer evaluation. Another key factor doctors consider is the condition of the joint on an X-ray, especially when the bones begin to touch each other.
The most important principle is simple. The right patient at the right time leads to the right outcome.
At Divi Orthopaedic Clinic, the focus is not just on replacing joints. The goal is to recommend knee replacement only when it truly benefits the patient.
