Common Myths Busted About Knee Replacement

Dr. G Bedi, the best orthopedic doctor in Delhi, specializes in deformity correction, foot and ankle surgery, hip replacement, and knee joint replacement. Despite common myths, knee joint replacement can greatly improve mobility and quality of life.

 

One myth is that patients cannot bend their knees post-surgery. This depends on the quality of the surgery and post-op rehabilitation. Another misconception is that patients can't sit on the floor or squat after surgery, but this also depends on the surgical outcome and rehabilitation.

 

Some believe joint replacement isn't suitable for older or younger patients, but the ideal age is 55 to 85 years for those reasonably fit. There's also a myth that hi-flex knee replacements and expensive implants provide better movement, but they mainly ensure safer deep flexion.

 

These myths deter many from considering knee joint replacement surgery. However, more people are opting for early knee joint replacements, experiencing significant improvements. Consult Dr. G Bedi, the top knee joint replacement surgeon in Delhi, for reliable and effective orthopedic treatments.
