Conditions Treated

Dr. Siddharth M. Shah specializes in treating a wide range of knee and hip joint conditions using advanced primary joint replacement techniques. These procedures are recommended for patients suffering from severe pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility affecting their daily activities and quality of life.

Knee Conditions

• Knee Osteoarthritis: Progressive wear and tear of knee cartilage leading to chronic pain, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty walking.

• Rheumatoid Arthritis: An inflammatory condition causing joint damage, pain, and deformity in the knee joint.

• Severe Knee Joint Degeneration: Advanced degeneration of the knee joint causing reduced mobility and persistent discomfort.

• Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Arthritis developing after previous injuries, fractures, or ligament damage to the knee.

• Knee Deformities: Bow legs, knock knees, and alignment problems causing uneven pressure and pain in the joint.

Hip Conditions

• Hip Osteoarthritis: Degeneration of hip cartilage resulting in pain, stiffness, and difficulty in movement.

• Avascular Necrosis (AVN): Loss of blood supply to the hip bone leading to joint collapse and severe hip pain.

• Hip Joint Damage: Damage caused due to injuries, fractures, or long-standing joint disorders affecting mobility.

• Inflammatory Joint Disorders: Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis causing chronic inflammation and hip joint damage.

• Reduced Hip Mobility: Difficulty in walking, bending, or performing routine activities due to stiffness and pain.

Symptoms

Patients requiring primary knee or hip replacement often experience chronic symptoms that gradually worsen over time and interfere with everyday activities.

• Persistent Joint Pain: Continuous pain in the knee or hip even while resting or during minimal movement.

• Difficulty Walking: Trouble walking long distances, climbing stairs, or standing for prolonged periods.

• Joint Stiffness: Reduced flexibility and stiffness, especially after waking up or prolonged sitting.

• Swelling & Inflammation: Recurrent swelling around the knee or hip joint causing discomfort and reduced motion.

• Reduced Mobility: Difficulty performing routine activities such as sitting, standing, bending, or walking.

• Joint Instability: Feeling of weakness, imbalance, or instability while walking or moving.

Causes

Several factors can contribute to severe knee and hip joint damage that may eventually require primary joint replacement surgery.

• Age-Related Wear & Tear: Natural degeneration of cartilage over time leading to osteoarthritis.

• Arthritis: Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are among the most common causes of joint damage.

• Previous Injuries: Fractures, ligament injuries, or trauma can increase the risk of joint degeneration.

• Obesity: Excess body weight places additional pressure on weight-bearing joints like knees and hips.

• Genetic Factors: Family history and inherited joint conditions may contribute to early arthritis.

Treatment

Primary knee and hip replacement surgery involves replacing damaged joint surfaces with advanced artificial implants to restore smooth movement and reduce pain.

• Total Knee Replacement: Replacement of damaged knee joint surfaces using high-quality implants for improved movement and pain relief.

• Total Hip Replacement: Surgical replacement of the damaged hip joint to restore mobility and reduce chronic pain.

• Minimally Invasive Techniques: Advanced surgical approaches designed to reduce tissue damage and improve recovery time.

• Rehabilitation Programs: Personalized physiotherapy and rehabilitation plans to restore strength and mobility after surgery.
