Quick answers to common questions about Dr. Viplav V Shetty
Knee replacement may be recommended when advanced arthritis causes persistent knee pain, stiffness and difficulty walking despite medication, physiotherapy and other appropriate treatments. An orthopedic surgeon assesses joint damage, overall health and mobility before recommending surgery.
Many patients begin walking with assistance soon after knee replacement. Daily activities often improve over several weeks, while recovery may continue for three to six months or longer. The timeline depends on health, rehabilitation and the procedure performed.
Some ACL injuries can be managed with physiotherapy and activity modification. ACL reconstruction may be recommended when patients experience repeated knee instability, additional ligament damage or difficulty returning to demanding sports.
No. Many meniscus tears can be managed initially through rehabilitation and activity modification. Arthroscopy may be considered for selected tears causing persistent mechanical symptoms, knee locking or significant functional limitations.
Treatment depends on the injury's severity, tendon condition and symptoms. Physiotherapy and medication may help certain injuries, while significant tears or persistent weakness may require arthroscopic or open surgical repair.
