Knee Pain in Different Age Groups | Knee Pain Treatment | Insights from Dr Prashant Arya

Dr Prashant Arya, a Consultant in Orthopaedic and Joint Replacement Surgeon at Narayana Hospital - Brahmananda, Jamshedpur, explains that knee pain is a common issue. He shares valuable insights into its causes and treatments for different age groups.
Knee Pain in Different Age Groups:
Young Adults (20-30 Years) - In young adults, knee pain often occurs due to softening of the cartilage, known as chondromalacia. This condition usually does not require surgery or extensive tests. Simple exercises and supplements can help relieve the pain.
Active Individuals with Injuries - Proper evaluation is crucial for active individuals who experience knee pain due to injuries like falls or sprains. Common issues include ligament, meniscus, or cartilage injuries. If these individuals wish to stay active, surgery might be necessary to repair the damaged ligament and restore their previous activity levels.
Older Adults (50-60+ Years) - Knee pain is often caused by osteoarthritis in older adults. This condition varies in severity, classified from grade 1 to grade 4. Initially, treatments include medications, physiotherapy, and possibly injections. Surgery is considered only when these methods fail to relieve the pain and the knee joint is severely damaged.
When is Knee Replacement Needed?
If non-surgical treatments do not alleviate the pain and the knee joint is significantly damaged, a knee replacement might be required. Proper evaluation of the knee's condition through X-rays and other assessments is necessary. Timely intervention and surgery can help patients return to a pain-free, normal life.
Dr Arya emphasises that knee replacement can greatly improve the quality of life, allowing patients to walk and move without pain. Early and appropriate treatment is key to successful recovery.
