Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis is the progressive wear-and-tear of the cartilage that cushions the knee joint, leading to bone-on-bone contact, pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility. It is the most common cause of knee replacement surgery in adults over 50. Iswarya Hospital's Orthopaedics department offers robotic-assisted total and partial knee replacement surgery — providing superior accuracy of implant placement, faster recovery (walking within 24 hours), and a longer implant lifespan compared to conventional techniques. Conservative management including physiotherapy and hyaluronic acid injections is also available for early-stage cases.
⚠️ Common Symptoms
- Persistent knee pain worsened by walking, climbing stairs, or rising from a chair
- Morning stiffness lasting up to 30 minutes
- Swelling and warmth around the joint
- Grinding or crunching sensation (crepitus) on movement
- Reduced range of motion and difficulty straightening or bending the knee fully
🚨 When to See a Doctor
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above — especially if they are severe, persistent, or worsening — consult a specialist immediately. Early diagnosis significantly improves treatment outcomes. Don't self-diagnose or delay care.
