Susheela Devi, 52 has been suffering from severe knee arthritis for the past 4 years. Today, it’s become so restrictive that her favourite pastime of making delicious food for her family is now just a distant dream.  She has an important decision to make- one about undergoing a knee replacement surgery. However, what she hears from her friends and relatives makes her fearful.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear or ACL sounds like a rare disease, doesn’t it? You’ll be surprised to know that it’s actually a very common injury that can be treated easily with simple treatments. ACL tears often occur while playing sports or when you move suddenly.

A feeling of being chained’, ‘Even lifting a finger is painful’, ‘I can’t move around even if I want to’- are the exact words expressed by patients suffering from joint pain.

Knee replacement surgery is a major treatment for the knees that significantly improves mobility and eases knee pain.

The decision to undergo any orthopaedic surgery is a significant one and usually very well thought through by the patient and their family. Multiple aspects go into determining the choice of an orthopaedic surgeon, and this post is an attempt to show some of the most important considerations one should have.

Knee pain afflicts millions of people on an everyday basis and wreaks havoc on the quality of lifestyle. As per the Arthritis Foundation in the USA, 1 in 3 people falling in the age group of 18-64 have arthritis that is becoming the leading problem of disability among people. 

Choosing the right knee replacement implant is like choosing an insurance policy. There are an overwhelmingly large number of options to choose from each at a different price point, with different features and benefits. It becomes even more confusing when you approach insurance agents as each of them highly recommend a certain type of insurance and you know they are selling it because they make good money on it! However, the fact is that somewhere out there, there is an insurance policy which is just right for you in terms of your needs and affordability.
