Knee Replacement Surgery

Anyone experiencing pain in the knee when walking, limited range of motion caused by a disease processes like arthritis, osteoporosis, or those who have experienced traumatic injury of the knee, may benefit from a total knee replacement. Some medical conditions that caused damage to the knees requiring surgical repair include but are not limited to:

• Osteoporosis
• Arthritis
• Traumatic injury
• Runner's knee

Osteoporosis Treatment

Osteoporosis is a condition which affects bones, making them fragile and weak and prone to fractures. The bones become so brittle and weak that they might break in the eventuality of mild stresses, such as bending over or even coughing. Osteoporosis usually occurs in the wrist, spine or hip, but can also affect the pelvis or arms. Osteoporosis is detected after a bone density scan or DEXA scan.

Osteoporosis causes

• Menopause
• Ageing and the gradual loss of bone density
• An overactive thyroid gland
• Certain medication which affect bone density
• Family history of the Thinning Bone disease
• Smoking and heavy drinking
• Low body weight

Osteoporosis symptoms

Unfortunately Osteoporosis has no warning symptoms. It is usually detected when a minor fall causes a fracture and therefore the susceptibility for the condition. The most common injuries are spinal bones, hip and wrist fractures.

The symptoms appear when the bones are already weakened and include:

• Loss of height over time
• Back pain in the case of a collapsed vertebra or a fracture
• A bone fracture which occurs much easily than normal

Osteoporosis treatment

The Osteoporosis treatment usually consists of medication to strengthen bones and therefore preventing fractures. But, according to the DEXA results, age and risk of fracture, the doctor will prescribe a certain treatment plan.

Some of the medications usually prescribed for Osteoporosis are bisphosphonates, such as Aledronate,Risedronate, Ibandronate or Zoledronic acid. Hormone therapy, such as estrogen or testosterone therapy, are also an option to keep Oteoporosis under control. Unfortunately, hormone therapy increases the risk of breast and endometrial cancer, heart disease and blood cloths.

Osteoporosis treatment cost

Without health insurance, the treatment with Fosamax costs around $10 a month, but prices could get to $900 or more a month for injectable treatments such as Forteo. Prices for hormone therapies vary from $200 per month to $1,600 per month in the US.

Osteoporosis prevention

• Exercise regularly
• Reduce alcohol intake and smoking
• Eat healthy
• Prevent falls
• Check if you have Vitamin D deficiency and fix that as soon as possible

Although the idea of having Osteoporosis and being always at risk of breaking a bone might affect your life, you do not have to give up on doing things you enjoy. Just be a little more careful!

Total Knee Replacement Surgery in India

Do you experience disabling pain when you walk, get in and out of a car, try to sit down in a chair or climb stairs?

Have you tried weight loss, walking aids, or braces and medication to help deal with your knee pain?

Do you have a knee deformity or are you 55 years of age or older, and your active lifestyle is catching up with you?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be a candidate for a knee replacement surgical procedure.

Total knee replacements are an orthopedic procedure that replaces diseased or injured portions of the knee joint with prosthetic joints in order to restore range of motion, function, and to reduce or eliminate pain in a damaged knee joint.  

Treatment Plan
Today, knee replacement surgery is typically performed utilizing computer assisted surgical technologies. Electromagnetic equipment and infrared cameras that display images from inside the knee cavity onto the deal monitors within an operating suite are transmitted through endoscopes, eliminating the need for large and painful incisions in most cases.

The knee is placed in a bent position to facilitate fully exposed surfaces of the knee joint. The surgeon will make an approximately 8- to 10-inch incision along the kneecap, exposing the knee joint. The surgeon will then chip or cut away the damaged joint surface, and insert and attach a new artificial joint into the knee cavity.  

Utilizing a minimally invasive approach, the surgeon may use special tools that require only 4- inch long incisions. In either case, damaged areas of the knee joint are removed, and a metal prosthetic piece is inserted into the cavity. Prosthetics are attached to remaining bone with special bone cement. Depending on the stability of your knee joint, the surgeon decides on a hinged or unhinged knee joint prosthetic.

A total knee replacement procedure may take up to 2 hours.

Pre and Post-operative Care
Prior to the surgical procedure, patients are required to undergo a variety of diagnostic tests.  These tests may include:

• X-rays
• Knee joint aspiration
• Urine tests
• Blood tests
• CT scans - computed tomography
• MRIs - magnetic resonance imaging

Following a total knee replacement surgical procedure, the patient is placed in a recovery room, where blood pressure and other life support functions are carefully monitored. Patients stay in a recovery room for up to several hours, after which they're transferred to a traditional hospital room. Patients can expect a 1 to 2 day stay in a hospital room following a total knee replacement. 
 
Patients can expect to begin post surgical rehabilitation as soon as possible following the surgical procedure. Ankle range of motion exercises will be encouraged within several hours following the procedure. Medical experts suggest getting up and about as soon as possible to facilitate healing and strengthening. Most individuals completely recover from the surgery within 3 to 6 months, depending on physical therapy plans, age, and general physical conditioning.

Risks and Complications
Any surgical procedure offers the potential for its risks and complications. Among the most common complications or risks associated with total knee replacement surgical procedures includes but is not limited to:

• Infection
• Bleeding
• Blood clots
• Reduced function or range of motion in the knee
• Failure of knee joint replacement components

Who Should Consider Total Knee Replacement?
Individuals experiencing knee pain when walking, or pain and limited range of motion caused by a number of disease processes such as arthritis or osteoporosis may benefit from a total knee replacement. Common medical conditions that caused damage to the knees requiring surgical repair include but are not limited to:

• Osteoporosis
• Arthritis
• Traumatic injury
• Runner's knee
