Today, we are officially launching our Singapore’s Health and Wellness Show, featuring Dr. Chua Hwa Sen, Orthopedic Surgeon at Sunway Medical Centre, on the topic of age-proofing our knees.
The knee is one of the body’s most vulnerable joints, and maintaining good knee health is essential. Whether young or old, we may experience some kind of knee pain due to wear and tear or injuries.
Dr. Chua tells us the red flags to look out for and when we should consult a specialist and talks about common knee-related challenges experienced by older people and the risks involved in knee surgery. He also highlights the treatment options available if the patient decides against surgery.
For sports enthusiasts, Dr. Chua discusses the common sports-related knee injuries. He also talks about the recovery process, comparison between non-surgery versus surgery, the time it takes to return to regular activities, and ways to slow down the process of knee deterioration.
