How can I reduce inflammation after knee surgery?

Image result for site:merillife.com knee surgery

Post undergoing knee surgery, it is impossible that you won’t feel any challenge or pain during your recovery process. Inflammation is the main symptom which affects normally every person who get a knee surgery. However, these symptoms are necessary to the overall success of the surgery just like the procedure. In order to decrease pain as well as inflammation, it is normally recommended that you apply an ice pack 3-4 times daily for approximately 10 to 20 minutes during the initial few days post surgery. After the first swelling subsides, you can opt for alternate application of ice and hot water packs for muscle relaxation and reducing stiffness in muscles. Leg elevation above heart and performing ankle pump exercises also aid to decrease swelling, raise blood circulation, and most importantly, prevent formation of blood clots. Consult your doctor/PT if ice is not helping to reduce your swelling. In such cases, you could also be prescribed a NSAID medication or wearing a compression cloth by your doctor to provide you relief from your inflammation.

Is knee replacement surgery successful in India?

product1

The rate of successful total knee replacement in India is deemed to be one of the finest around the world. TKR is amongst the most successful and widely performed surgical procedures which is estimated to aid patients to live a better life. Around 95% of patients report a better quality of life post undergoing a TKR. Despite the involvement of multiple factors playing their part in TKR’s success, India is deemed as one of the most favoured destinations to get a TKR performed, globally. This is primarily due to the availability of a large pool of highly experienced and sklled orthopaedic surgeons coupled with hospitals equipped with the most advanced infrastructure.

What is the cost of a knee replacement?

Image result for site:merillife.com knee replacement surgery

Providing optimum care to the knee is extremely vital as it is the largest joint in the human body and bears most of the body weight during walking or even minor movements. Since, knee problems begin to arise in most of the individuals post 50, especially in overweight and obese persons. A knee replacement surgery is the ultimate procedure to resurface and re-equip a damaged knee using metallic or polymeric components.

The cost for a knee replacement procedure depends on the extent of damage to the knee, type of surgery to be performed, implant types, hospital or the doctor consulted and your extent of stay at the hospital. Prefering an accredited hospital is recommended for getting any major surgery such as TKR done. In India, unilateral TKR costs anywhere between 1.5 lakhs to 2 lakhs in such reputed hospitals. Normally, knee replacement cost in India is much lesser ascompared to majority of the other countries in the world such as USA. This is despite that some of the world renowned hospitals in India offer equivalent standards of care as any other major hospitals in the World including the West.

Is a ceramic knee better than a cobalt chromium knee?

product2

In the advanced stages of arthritis not treatable by medicines or conservative therapies, Total knee replacement is a well-established surgical method of treatment . However, it is associated with a small proportion of treatment failure and unsatisfactory outcomes. In addition to these problems, hypersensitivity reactions against metallic components of TKR implants have recently emerged as a potential cause of concern post TKR.

But, the overall prevalence of allergies to implant materials is still very rare and not frequently reported. Still, ceramic composite implants have recently been tested as TKR implant materials and have demonstrated excellent outcomes at long-term along with minimum wear, owing to their high resistance to scratching and better ability to get moistened (wettability) as compared to Co-Cr alloys. Also, the bodily response to the debris resulting from these components is also less aggressive in nature.

Various tests have shown positive results of TKR with ceramic implants which are beneficial to the patients. A Zirconium alloy has recently been tested in a novel ceramic knee prosthesis. It is expected that this new prosthesis will be able to work for 20 to 25 years, which is many times greater than the effectiveness of Co-Cr implants. However, your TKR surgeon will recommend the implant best suited for you depending on your condition and his/her experience with a particular implant.

Are there any good alternatives to knee replacement surgery?

product1

Total knee replacement should never be the initial option to treat knee pain and should be considered as a last resort. Treatment alternatives can also be helpful to relieve pain and some of its causes in the knee. If you are suffering from knee pain, consult your doctor to know about less invasive options for its treatment.

1) Weight loss and exercise: Losing kilograms may aid you lessening the pain. As per a research, just 10 pounds of weight above normal can add up to 60 pounds of burden on your knee in one step. Exercising can aid in reducing your body weight and also provide strength to your muscles and decreasing pain.

2) Consult a physiotherapist: A physiotherapist can decide a physical activity regimen which decreases pain and strengthens the main muscles which involve in knee function. A physiotherapist can collaborate with you to ensure that you are correctly performing your exercises. A PT might also try using ice, heat, electric stimulation or an ultrasound that can elevate blood flow to the affected region and aid in decreasing pain.

3) Injections in the knee: Injections of hyaluronic acid reduces friction at the knee joint and aid in improving absorption of shock. This method can decrease pain and improve mobility of the knee. However, this method is associated with potential adverse effects such as added swelling and pain. You can also have an allergic reaction if you are allergic to eggs.

4) Medicines or shots of cortisone: Over-the-counter pain-killers and topical anesthetics such as lidocaine may help controlling your knee pain. Your doctor may also prescribe a steroid injection to decrease the inflammed knee. These injection are injected at the inflammation site and mimic the activity of natural steroids present in the body. These steroids generally work to decrease pain in a few days and may provide relief for several weeks. However, they too have some potential adverse effects.

5) Acupuncture: Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese therapy using sharp, thin needles to affect nerves and altering the flow of energy in the body. This method is gaining popularity recently as an alternative treatment to reduce pain and has demonstrated dramatic results in pain reduction in subjects with knee pain.

6) Prolotherapy: It is a method which uses an irritant solution, injected into the ligament or muscle tendon which raises the blood flow and nutrient supply. By this mechanism, the procedure stimulates the process of healing in the affected area.

7) Arthroscopic surgery: This type of surgery may be recommended to remove fragments of bone, torn meniscus, or damaged cartilage or even repair ligaments using an arthroscope. An arthroscope is a camera that permits an operator to view the joint via a small cut.The surgeon uses the artroscope to perform an operation in the joint, post making 2 to 4 cuts. This is a much less invasive procedure allowing patients to go home the same day of their surgery. You can resume your daily routine without support within a week.

8) Knee osteotomy: People suffering from a knee deformity or one side damage to the knee may be benefitted from this procedure. This procedure transfers the weight-bearing load from the affected area of the knee. However, this procedure is generally preferred for younger patients with limited damage to the knee.

9) Braces: A brace may be recommended to lend external stability to the knee. A brace leads to joint realignment by applying pressure on the sides of joint. This process reduces bone friction and causes pain relief and increased joint mobility.

10) Others: Other options such as stem cell therapy and plasma-rich protein injections are also considered potential therapies for pain treatment but these methods are not well-studied. Choosing the best option: Your surgeon should take into consideration, all possible options to knee replacement, while selecting a treatment of knee arthritis. The decision of selecting the best treatment option should be determined together by you, your family and the involved doctors.
