Frequently Asked Questions

These specialists treat bone, joint, and muscle conditions, including arthritis, fractures, ligament injuries, sports injuries, and chronic joint pain. They also perform joint replacement surgeries like knee, hip, and shoulder replacements.

Joint replacement may be recommended when pain and stiffness severely affect daily activities, and non-surgical treatments like physical therapy or medications no longer provide relief.

Common procedures include total knee replacement, hip replacement, shoulder replacement, and partial joint replacements depending on the condition.

Recovery time varies depending on the procedure and patient. Generally, most people resume normal activities within 6-12 weeks with proper rehabilitation and physiotherapy.

Minimally invasive surgery uses smaller incisions and advanced techniques to reduce recovery time, minimize pain, and lower the risk of complications compared to traditional surgery.

Most artificial joints last 15-20 years, depending on factors like the material used, activity level, and overall health.

Follow post-surgery care guidelines, including physical therapy exercises, avoiding high-impact activities, and attending follow-up appointments to ensure proper recovery.

Risks include infection, blood clots, implant loosening, and nerve or blood vessel damage. Surgeons take extensive precautions to minimize these risks.

Preparation involves pre-surgery health assessments, stopping certain medications, arranging post-surgery support, and following pre-operative instructions provided by your surgeon.
