🦵 Knee Replacement — Do You Really Need It?

Knee pain or knee arthritis does not automatically mean knee replacement surgery is required.

Surgery may be considered when there is:

⚠️ Severe, persistent knee pain 🚶 Difficulty walking or performing daily activities 📉 Significant loss of function 💊 Symptoms that continue despite appropriate non-surgical treatment

🩻 The decision is not based on an X-ray alone.

Your symptoms + clinical examination + imaging + functional limitations should all be considered.

Depending on your condition, exercise, physiotherapy and weight management may be part of conservative treatment.

👉 ASSESS FIRST. DECIDE WISELY.

If persistent knee pain is affecting your daily life, a proper assessment can help you understand your treatment options.
