Frequently Asked Questions

When should I consider joint replacement surgery?

Joint replacement may be considered when arthritis or joint damage causes persistent pain and significantly limits daily activities despite appropriate non-surgical treatment.

Can arthritis be treated without surgery?

Many patients benefit from medications, physiotherapy, weight management, activity modification, and other conservative treatments before surgery is considered.

How long does recovery after knee replacement take?

Recovery varies depending on individual health, the surgical procedure, and adherence to rehabilitation. Your surgeon and physiotherapy team will guide your recovery plan.

Do all fractures require surgery?

No. The need for surgery depends on the type, location, stability, and severity of the fracture.

Can sports injuries be treated without surgery?

Many sports injuries respond well to structured rehabilitation, while others may require surgical intervention depending on the extent of injury.

Why is physiotherapy important after orthopaedic surgery?

Physiotherapy plays a key role in restoring strength, mobility, function, and confidence following many orthopaedic procedures.
