You don’t have to replace both the knees at the same time!
Knee Replacement is a big decision and is carefully arrived at after all other treatment options have failed.
Dr Firoz Ahmed, the leading Joint replacement Surgeon in the North East, believes in preserving the native joint as long as possible. Therefore, in most cases, he goes for Knee replacement on the most affected side and usually the patient can carry on most of his normal life without replacing the other knee for a period of 1-3years.
