Knee pain is ignored by many people assuming that it’s just a minor pain and will go away by applying ointment or chronic use of pain killers. Most people who suffer from constant knee pain which includes difficulty in walking and sitting don’t realise that it can be a serious problem too like Renal failure, dialysis, kidney transplant, Nephro-toxicity.
Patients suffering from the condition often delay knee replacement surgery due to many reasons. One out of it is lack of information regarding it. The other reasons that patient delay for knee replacement surgery includes fear of loosing a body part, fear of post-operative surgery pain and fear of stitches.
This reasons later often cause more severe knee problems.

If the damage in knee more then the patient also has an option of minimally invasive knee replacement surgery which is painless knee replacement surgery.

– Unbearable pain
Progression of knee Deformity.
Deformity correction during knee replacement is sometimes challenging, can necessitate the need for more complex and expensive implants and also delays recovery.

Stiffness. Pre-op loss of knee flexion and stiffness makes the surgery difficult for the surgeon and also delays post op recovery. Extensive physiotherapy is needed to overcome stiffness.
Recent studies have shown that timing does make difference in the surgery. So, if the patient is suggested a knee replacement surgery then it should not be delayed or postponed as that can lead to lots of serious issues. Emotional effects of knee pain. Depression. Social anxiety. Lack of confidence. Patients are usually confined to their homes. They resist going out and interact with people and in turn develop emotional issues.

Knee replacement can be total or unicondylar, depending on the number of compartments involved. Among the total knee replacement, there are two popular designs- Cruciate Retaining, and Posterior Stabilized. The decision for the design is best taken by the operating orthopedic surgeon based on the integrity of ligaments. Patella resurfacing as a routine is a debatable subject.
