  3. Drawbacks of Joint Replacement Lifestyle changes: The doctor would want the patient to lose weight, keep a track of diet and exercise. Even after the surgery, you may have to continue keeping a track of lifestyle and make sure not to increase weight. People who smoke should give up the habit as a result of this replacement Commitment to recovery: After the replacement, the patient should be committed to physiotherapy and exercises. Even after recovery, the patient should follow certain restrictions and stick to leading a healthy life Another replacement: If you had joint replacement when you were young, chances are that you should undergo another surgery as the prosthetic will wear or break out

  4. Right Time for Joint Replacement Before deciding to go for a knee replacement, the patient should decide if it is the right time for replacement or not. Try other treatments first: If you have not considered about other non-surgical treatments, check with your doctor if non surgical treatments can be successful in your case Consider other options: A total joint replacement is not your only option. Sometimes you may need only a minor surgery to solve your issue and recovery would be much faster Seek an experienced surgeon: If you are up for a total knee replacement surgery, it would be advisable to seek for an experienced surgeon’s expertise. This is where Dr Niraj Vora’s expertise comes in handy
