Knee replacement is usually considered when long term knee pain and stiffness start to affect your daily life.
If you have tried medications, physiotherapy, lifestyle changes, or joint injections and still find it hard to walk, climb stairs, or stand for long periods, it may be time to discuss surgical options.
Common signs that you may need a knee replacement include severe pain while resting, difficulty bending or straightening the knee, swelling that does not go away, and reduced joint movement.
X ray scans may show worn out cartilage or bone rubbing on bone, especially in cases of advanced osteoarthritis.
Dr Ram Kumar Rao, Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon at Avisena Specialist Hospital 2, Shah Alam, will assess your condition in detail.
If surgery is needed, he offers both total and partial knee replacement using modern techniques that allow faster recovery and long term relief. If you are struggling with knee pain, early evaluation can help you decide the best treatment plan.
