Asking For Mother, Female 52, Rawalpindi
My mother is paralyzed and unable to walk almost from 20 years. Doctors did almost all kind of treatment in start but nothing work. I want to ask about knee replacement is it safe? what are estimated cost and any looking for recommendation for orthopedics as well in Rawalpindi/Islamabad
please help. Thank you
knee replacement for a bed ridden patient is neither needed nor indicated. don't waste money and give unnecessary surgical exposure to the paralysed patient
I do it in 3lacs in peshawar including everything!! There are multiple options in Islamabad but charges are around 5 lacs minimum per knee
if she is paralayed .not able to walk then why are asking for replacement .only advange is pain relief
Is she Mobile?
Is She Painfu?l
knee Replacement is for mobile painful knees
kindly answer my querries
If she’s paralyzed which I assume is CVA or Hemiplegia, knee replacement in that leg won’t be much helpful
Patient has to be assessed to decide the right options for her future life.
Hi, kindly elaborate the reason of her paralysis, did she get stroke? However she needs to be examined by orthopaedic surgeon who got experience in joints replacement and will decide if she is the candidate of knee replacement or not. I practice in Islamabad and you are welcome to visit me in clinic. Thanks
In a paralyzed patient, Not recommended. She can be helped after examination and consultation.
Her treatment is available in homeopathy but it takes time in this situation if you are interested then take appointment or online video consultation with me
If she is paralysed then what’s the need for knee replacement, it’s only needed when somebody can’t walk due to knee pain and knee deformity.
