Knee replacement surgery in Faridabad



Knee
replacement is increasingly being done all over the world. A few years back
once thought to be very complex surgery and was performed by only a few
well-known, established, foreign-trained knee replacement surgeons.
Osteoarthritis is the most common indication for one to undergo knee
replacement surgery.

According
to reports and studies about 13% of women and 10% of men above the age of 60
years suffer from knee arthritis. These numbers are constantly increasing due
to increasing life expectancy and an increasing tendency for obesity. In simple
terms millions are suffering from knee arthritis today and that number will
only increase.

Osteoarthritis
is one of the most common conditions that leads to disability in elderly.
Initially arthritis was thought to be a condition in the more affluent western
countries. But with the increasing prosperity in the 2nd and 3rd world
countries, lifestyle diseases have increased to epidemic proportions.

Patients
with osteoarthritis are at a higher risk of mortality mainly because of
disability caused due to severe pain which inturn leads to invitation of other
lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease etc.

More
and more  knee replacement surgery  is
being done on the younger population due to increasing incidence in younger
people especially due to obesity. Though knee arthritis starts in the joint
cartilage but slowly it involves other components and disturbs the mechanism of
weight-bearing and walking.
