The hip and knee joints are the two strongest and most important joints of the human body. They help us walk, sit, stand, jump and do all our daily activities.
However, with age, we start to lose bone mineral density (BMD), which is crucial to keep our joints strong and functional.
As BMD decreases, our bones become more vulnerable to severe conditions like arthritis, which makes our bones fragile and brittle.
If not treated timely, this grappling condition can cause you a lot of pain while doing routine activities. And you’ll end up depending on others, even for basic activities like walking to the washroom, sitting on a chair and climbing ladders.
At this time, when you have a lovely time to play with your grandchildren, you’ll unfortunately not be able to enjoy with them. And life will become limited to a bed and wheelchair.
Fret not! Thanks to the advancing science, improved quality of implants and technology that have made the mainstay treatment of advanced-stage arthritis — joint replacement surgery — a more effective and safe option.
In my 20 years of practice in Orthopaedics and Joint Replacement, I have had the privilege to give a new life to innumerable lives through knee replacement and joint replacement surgeries.
To date, I have performed over 7,500 joint replacements on both Indian and International patients coming from over 45+ countries. Some of these patients were young and sports players who sustained severe injuries and underwent successful joint replacement surgery.
It’s my fortune that most of my patients are doing good, even after 15 years of surgery and are able to do all the activities they love. Their words not only motivate me but also inspire the millions of patients who are still suffering from the debilitating pain of arthritis and fear undergoing joint replacement surgery.
My message for these patients is to not fear from getting the right treatment for their debilitating arthritis. Joint replacement surgery is a very safe and effective procedure and has a success rate of over 95% if done by expert hands.
