Common Concerns About Knee Replacement
🩹 Scarring and healing
Scarring is minimal with modern surgical approaches. Healing times are shorter with less invasive techniques. Most patients experience faster recovery and reduced discomfort compared to older methods.
⚠️ Risks and disadvantages
While the majority of patients experience excellent results, risks include infection, stiffness, implant loosening, and blood clots. Our expert team minimises these risks with advanced surgical techniques and enhanced recovery programmes.
🔄Botox Injections for Shoulder Pain
We always explore non-surgical options first including steroid injections, hyaluronic acid, PRP, and Arthrosamid before recommending surgery. Surgery is recommended only when joint damage is severe and non-surgical treatment has failed.
