My mom has been dealing with severe knee pain, and we're considering knee replacement surgery. She also has diabetes, though it's well-controlled. Can you help me understand the costs involved for this surgery in Mumbai, both in private and government hospitals? I'd really appreciate a breakdown of: - Pre and post-hospitalization expenses - The cost difference between Indian and international knee replacement materials - An estimate of the doctor's fees - The best health insurance plan with the shortest waiting period for this procedure Just trying to plan everything properly before we move forward.

Please first do appropriate investigation under the advice of a rheumatologist and determine if knee replacement is the solution to her problem. Diabetics have inherently higher risks in surgeries especially involving prosthetic devices and implants. And if you do decide on replacement consult an orthopaedic surgeon for the same

I have patellar subluxation. It dislocates and comes back to position but gives pain at that moment and I fall down due to instability. I come back to normal within 35mins. No pain. What should I do to fully recover from this Should I start doing Physio exercises I am not in a situation to do surgery if its needed
To recover from patellar subluxation without surgery, focus on strengthening the muscles around the knee, improving knee stability, and managing pain. Physical therapy is crucial for building muscle strength and improving joint stability, which can reduce the likelihood of future subluxations.

My MRI shows a complete ACL tear with some tibial translation, plus meniscus tears in both medial and lateral parts, along with cartilage issues and joint effusion. Is surgery the only option for this or are there other ways to manage it? I'm worried about recovery time and whether PT could help instead
Non-surgical management may work if you have low activity demands. But with instability and multiple injuries, ACL reconstruction is usually recommended for long-term joint health and mobility.
