frequently asked questions - About surgery

Q1: What are the criteria for applying surgery for osteoarthrive diseases?
A: When QOL decreases significantly. I can't go shopping, I can't walk to the bathroom.

Q2: What are the risks of OPE?
A: Infection Effects on cardiopulmonary function (economy syndrome, etc.) In the case of knee joint, the postoperative sitting is not possible.

Q3: What is the success rate of OPE?
A: It is said that 99% of both knee and hip joint.

Q4: What are the current mainstream surgical methods?
A: Until a while ago, the direction of reducing the insertion opening (cut) in the operation as much as possible, but now, the surgical technique with the main focus on firmly fixing than the size of the insertion opening is adopted.

Q5: Do those surgical methods cut the muscles?
A: For the knees: the muscles themselves are not amputated. Insert muscles and the peritoneum to break. For the hip joint: Usually do not amputate, but in rare cases it may only cut the muscles if there is a condition such as dislocation.



Q6: There is not much problem in the QOL of relatively young people in their 40s and 50s, but what is the indication of surgery for requests such as wanting to exercise more? (I want to play tennis and ski after surgery)
A:You will be able to move more after surgery. Therefore, there are many people who can play tennis, golf, ski, etc.

Q7: When and for how long will rehabilitation be required?
A:From the day after surgery, 2-3 months are necessary.

Q8: What is important in rehabilitation?
A:Prevent muscle weakening and strengthen in a well-balanced way. It is also effective to get rid of functional problems with the treatment of chiropractic.
