🦵 Not at all 👍
All knee problems in elderly people do not require knee replacement. Knee replacement is usually considered a last option when:
The joint damage is severe (often due to advanced osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis)
Pain is persistent and disabling, even with medication and physiotherapy
Daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, or even resting become very difficult
Many elderly patients can manage knee problems with conservative treatments such as:
✅ Physiotherapy (to improve strength, flexibility, and balance)
✅ Weight management
✅ Activity modification
✅ Walking aids if needed
✅ Pain-relieving medicines or injections
👉 So, knee replacement is only for selected cases where all other treatments fail.
