How Risky is Delaying of Knee Replacement
Surgery?
Knee Replacement Surgery (Arthroplasty) is done
in case of severe pain, mobility problems or if
medicines stop responding.
Knee replacement surgery is done by replacing the
joint bones and parts with plastic or metallic
parts and prosthetic implants, this is mainly
done to provide you the best support, enabling
mobility and easing the pain due to mechanical or
pathological damage.
Experts recommend knee replacement surgery due to
any or the mentioned reasons
Rheumatoid arthritis- It is an auto immune
disorder, causes stiffness, pain, tenderness of
joints and inflammation. It can also be
associated with age factors and the symptoms may
sometimes fade. Osteoarthritis- Due to the
breakage of ligament surrounding the joint, it
causes pain and limits the movement of the joint.
With time this worsen the joint movement and the
patient get difficulty in doing all daily chores
like climbing up the stairs, walking, sitting,
etc.

Post traumatic arthritis- This type of arthritic
disorder occurs after any injury to the knee
joint. The symptoms appear late in this, even
after months of the injury.
Risks of delaying Knee Replacement Surgery
Knee replacement is traditionally followed only
when the non-surgical treatment methods dont
work. Today, it is much more convenient to get
the surgery done, but people fear to do that and
till the time all the non-surgical treatment
fails and by that time the risks of getting
better results after surgery gets worse. The
following problems arise due delay

pain in hip joints due to bad posture and over
years it may worsen the situation and makes the
hip joints more prone to be damaged.

patient, it is highly recommended to avoid the
risk and delaying of any treatment option
available for their knee. The benefits of the
knee replacement surgery (knee arthroplasty) are
