Is Knee Replacement with 3-D Printing Right for Me?

Patient's Query

I am having issues with my right knee. My current doctor always suggests cortisol shots, but I refuse them because they don't work for me. I am very active, but my right knee slows me down. I'm looking for a new doctor and considering a knee replacement, preferably with 3-D printing technology. My name is Martin Castro.

Answered by Dr. Deep Chakraborty

It sounds like your current treatment isn't working for you, and it's important to find a solution. You should consider consulting an orthopedic specialist who can offer alternative treatments, including advanced options like 3-D printed knee replacements. They can provide a personalized plan to help you stay active and manage your knee pain effectively.

You should consult an orthopedist. Various factors such as injury, overuse, or underlying medical conditions can lead to knee pain. An orthopedic doctor will assess your condition and prescribe an appropriate course of treatment. If the treatment is delayed, this may lead to worsening of condition.

Is it normal to experience swelling three months post hip replacement surgery?

Male | 48

Three months after hip replacement surgery, it is not uncommon to have swelling. But in case of pain or redness connected with swelling, the orthopedic surgeon should be consulted. They might instead refer you to a joint replacement specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

I had an accident on November 27 2022, A cut near my right hand wrist and later I had stitches on it now my last two fingers are not working properly

Male | 22

Consult an orthopedist soon if you're experiencing reduced function in your fingers after a wrist injury and stitches. The cause of your symptoms may be nerve damage or reduced blood flow to the affected area, which results from certain types of injuries or surgical procedures.
