When to discuss knee replacement
Replacement may be considered when advanced joint damage causes persistent pain and limits daily activities despite suitable non-surgical care. Assessment includes symptoms, examination, X-rays and overall health. An X-ray alone does not decide treatment.
Training and consultation approach
Dr Shahrukh Khan holds MBBS and MS Orthopaedics qualifications from Maulana Azad Medical College, along with DNB Orthopaedics. His practice includes arthroscopy and joint replacement. Read his professional profile and verify his Apollo association through the hospital’s own listing.
At consultation, discuss your walking difficulties, previous treatments and priorities. Ask what improvement is realistic, what alternatives remain and how follow-up will be arranged.
Recovery, risks and costs
Rehabilitation and follow-up are part of treatment. Recovery varies. Discuss risks such as infection, blood clots, stiffness and implant problems, alongside expected benefits.
Ask for a written estimate covering the hospital, implant, investigations and rehabilitation. Cashless or government-panel approval must be confirmed for your hospital and policy; it is not automatic.
