Knee replacement surgery may be recommended when severe knee pain and joint damage make everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or standing difficult. It is generally considered when other treatments no longer provide sufficient relief.

Common signs that knee replacement may need to be considered include persistent knee pain, severe arthritis, stiffness, swelling, difficulty walking, reduced knee movement, and pain that continues even during rest or at night.

Before recommending surgery, an orthopedic specialist evaluates the patient's symptoms, physical condition, medical history, and imaging reports. Depending on the severity of the condition, treatment may include medications, physiotherapy, lifestyle changes, injections, or surgery.

According to Dr. Susheel Sharma, Joint Replacement & Orthopedic Surgeon, timely evaluation can help determine whether knee replacement is appropriate and which treatment option is best suited to the patient's condition.

If persistent knee pain is affecting your mobility or quality of life, consult Dr. Susheel Sharma at Shree Medishine Hospital for a comprehensive orthopedic evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
