Knee Joint Replacement Surgery

Posts Tagged ‘ARTHRITIS’

My Mom has severe degenerative arthritis in her knee that’s unresponsive to pain medication and though I’m no doctor, I’m guessing that a joint replacement is the only option that would really help her. Of course, the doctor wants to exhaust all options before opting for replacement, but from everything I read, arthroscopic debridement for advanced arthritis is a completely worthless procedure and a waste of time and money. I’m going to have to burn up all my vacation to take care of my Mom after this procedure, and I’m guessing it won’t do a damn thing and she’ll need the replacement anyway.

Has anyone here actually benefited from arthroscopic knee surgery for severe arthritis? Should she get a second opinion or will most doctors opt for the less invasive technique anyway?

I have a sore knee, lots of history and injury to the knee. But one day, it just began to hurt really bad, swelled, and hit all of a sudden and has not gone away. Very painful, hard to bend back. and any side to side movement is very painful. I saw an orthopedic surgeon. She suggests that I take Celebrex (He got snip-it with me when I didn’t want to take Celebrex daily), And asked if I had good insurance. He gave me several options, scope, shooting in jel, just waiting awhile and finally knee replacement. He said he thinks this is arthritis. My questions- Can arthritis cause horrible pain on movement, which fells like something is caught, that come on so quick and sudden? I researched the Dr on the internet and he has written a couple of articles about joint replacement. Am I reasonable to wonder if he just wants to make money by replacing my knee joint?

Nearly 16 million Americans suffer from osteoarthritis, a disease that causes the breakdown of cartilage in joints, most commonly of the hip and knee. This book highlights the substantial advances in medical science made over the last 20 years in the treatment of hip and knee problems, many of which are not well known to potential patients. ARTHRITIS OF THE HIP & KNEE helps patients understand the value of becoming actively involved in the decision-making process surrounding their treatment by covering: *causes, treatment, options, and disease progression; *advice on living with osteoarthritis; *preoperative therapy; *surgery: cost and benefits, options, procedures, and improved techniques; *postoperative therapy and advice on living with an implant; *the future of joint replacement; and *interviews with hip and knee patients. ARTHRITIS OF THE HIP & KNEE is the collaborative effort of three people, each contributing a unique insight into the treatment of osteoarthritis and the rehabilitation process. Ron Allen-the patient-had one of his hips replaced at the age of 40, and the other at the age of 45. David Stulberg-the orthopedic surgeon-performed Ron’s operation. Physiatrist Victoria Brander supervised Ron’s rehabilitation following his second surgery.
