Advanced Orthopedic Treatments to Ensure Freedom from Arthritis – Featured in Times Health

In a recent feature by Times Health, Dr. Mir Jawad Zar Khan, Senior Orthopaedic and Joint Replacement Surgeon at Germanten Hospital, shared expert insights into the prevention and treatment of arthritis, a leading cause of joint pain and mobility issues across all age groups.

Why Knees Get Damaged:

Knee arthritis can develop from aging, genetic predisposition, childhood injuries, or untreated ligament damage. Repetitive strain or sedentary lifestyle also contributes to joint deterioration.

Prevention & Early Management:

• Regular quadricep-strengthening exercises
• Avoiding excessive strain on knees
• Timely treatment of injuries
• Nutritional supplements (Vitamin D, calcium)
• Maintaining healthy weight and posture

When Is Surgery Required:

Only a fraction of arthritis patients require surgery. Most are treated with medications, physiotherapy, PRP therapy, intra-articular injections, and bracing. For advanced stages, partial or total knee replacements may be advised—especially when pain and joint degeneration severely impact quality of life.

Minimally Invasive Joint Replacement:

At Germanten Hospital, advanced German Precision Knee Replacement ensures:

• Lower long-term costs
• Shorter surgical duration
• Smaller incisions and quicker recovery
• High-precision robotic navigation
• Patients walking as early as 6 hours post-surgery
• Better alignment and long-term results

Dr. Khan emphasizes a holistic approach to arthritis care, combining prevention, cutting-edge technology, and personalized treatment to restore pain-free movement and improve quality of life.
