When should I consider knee replacement surgery?
You should consider knee replacement surgery when conservative treatments (medication, physical therapy, injections) no longer provide relief from knee arthritis or injury. Common indicators include severe knee pain affecting daily activities, limited range of motion, swelling that doesn't improve, and failed non-surgical treatments. Dr. Arif Hossain will evaluate your condition through physical examination and imaging to determine if you're a suitable candidate for knee replacement.
What is the recovery time after knee replacement surgery?
Most patients experience significant improvement within 6-8 weeks after knee replacement surgery. However, complete recovery typically takes 4-6 months. Initial recovery involves regaining mobility and strength through physical therapy. You can usually return to light activities within 6-8 weeks and resume normal activities within 3-4 months. Full range of motion improvement may continue for up to one year after surgery.
Is knee replacement surgery performed at NITOR?
Yes, Dr. Mohammed Arif Hossain performs knee replacement and arthroscopic surgeries at NITOR (National Institution Traumatology and Rehabilitation). As Assistant Professor of Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Surgery at NITOR, Dr. Arif has access to world-class surgical facilities and works with a dedicated team of orthopedic specialists. NITOR is equipped with advanced surgical technology and specialized equipment for joint replacement procedures.
What is arthroscopic knee surgery and what can it treat?
Arthroscopic knee surgery is a minimally invasive procedure using a small camera (arthroscope) to visualize and treat knee problems. Dr. Arif has performed over 2,000 arthroscopic knee surgeries successfully. It can treat ACL tears, PCL injuries, meniscus damage, cartilage problems, and remove loose bone fragments. The procedure offers faster recovery and less pain compared to open surgery because it requires only small incisions.
Can ACL tears be treated without surgery?
Some ACL injuries can be managed conservatively with physical therapy, bracing, and activity modification, especially in sedentary patients. However, athletes and active individuals typically require ACL reconstruction surgery for return to sports and stability. Dr. Arif will assess your injury severity, activity level, and goals to recommend the best treatment approach. Early diagnosis through MRI is crucial for optimal outcomes.
How long does shoulder arthroscopy surgery take?
Shoulder arthroscopy typically takes 1-2 hours depending on the complexity of the procedure and repair needed. Dr. Arif uses advanced arthroscopic techniques to treat rotator cuff tears, labral damage, impingement syndrome, and other shoulder conditions. The procedure is minimally invasive with small incisions, resulting in less pain and faster recovery compared to open shoulder surgery.
What is the cost of joint replacement surgery in Bangladesh?
Joint replacement costs vary based on the type (knee, hip, shoulder), implant quality, and hospital facility. In Bangladesh, knee replacement typically costs 300,000-700,000 BDT depending on implant type. Hip replacement ranges from 400,000-800,000 BDT. Costs include surgeon fees, hospital charges, implant cost, and anesthesia. Dr. Arif offers transparent pricing and flexible payment options. Contact us for a detailed cost estimate based on your specific condition.
How do I prepare for arthroscopic surgery?
Pre-surgery preparation includes: (1) Medical tests (blood work, ECG, imaging), (2) Medication review with Dr. Arif, (3) Stop certain medications like blood thinners 5-7 days before surgery, (4) Fasting 6-8 hours before surgery, (5) Arrange transportation home, (6) Wear comfortable loose clothing on surgery day, (7) Remove jewelry and contact lenses. Dr. Arif's team will provide detailed pre-operative instructions tailored to your condition.
What post-surgery pain management options are available?
After orthopedic surgery, pain management includes: (1) Prescribed pain medications (usually for 7-14 days), (2) Ice application for first 48 hours to reduce swelling, (3) Elevation to minimize inflammation, (4) Compression bandages, (5) Physical therapy for pain relief through movement, (6) Anti-inflammatory medications. Most patients manage post-operative pain effectively with proper medication and physical therapy. Severe uncontrolled pain should be reported to Dr. Arif immediately.
When can I return to sports after knee reconstruction surgery?
Return to sports depends on the type of injury and surgery: (1) Light activities (swimming, walking): 4-6 weeks, (2) Running: 12-16 weeks, (3) Cutting/pivoting sports (basketball, football): 6-9 months, (4) Return to competition: 9-12 months minimum. Clearance requires achieving 90% strength compared to uninjured knee and passing functional tests. Dr. Arif will provide a personalized return-to-sports timeline based on your rehabilitation progress.
What is rotator cuff repair and how long does recovery take?
Rotator cuff repair is surgery to reattach torn shoulder muscles and tendons. Dr. Arif performs arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using minimally invasive techniques. Recovery phases include: (1) Weeks 1-6: Immobilization and passive motion, (2) Weeks 6-12: Active-assisted motion, (3) Months 3-6: Strengthening exercises, (4) Months 6+: Return to activities. Full recovery typically takes 4-6 months. Compliance with physical therapy is crucial for optimal outcomes.
Can I have both knees replaced at the same time?
Yes, bilateral knee replacement (both knees in one surgery) is possible but requires careful patient selection. Benefits include single anesthesia and recovery period. Considerations include increased surgical time and recovery demands. Dr. Arif will assess your overall health, age, and fitness level to determine if you're a candidate. Some patients prefer staged procedures (one knee at a time) for easier rehabilitation. This will be discussed during consultation.
What are the risks and complications of joint replacement surgery?
While joint replacement is generally safe, potential complications include: (1) Infection, (2) Blood clots (DVT), (3) Implant loosening, (4) Wear and tear over time, (5) Nerve or blood vessel injury, (6) Limited range of motion, (7) Persistent pain. Dr. Arif takes preventive measures including sterile surgical technique, DVT prophylaxis, and proper rehabilitation. Serious complications are rare (1-2%) and managed effectively with proper monitoring and care.
How many arthroscopic knee surgeries has Dr. Arif performed?
Dr. Mohammed Arif Hossain has successfully performed over 2,000 arthroscopic knee surgeries throughout his career. This extensive experience includes ACL reconstruction, PCL repair, multi-ligament injury management, and meniscus repair. His high success rates and patient satisfaction reflect his surgical expertise and commitment to advanced arthroscopic techniques. As an instructor and assistant coordinator of the Arthroscopy Surgery Unit at NITOR, he trains other surgeons in these specialized procedures.
Is physical therapy necessary after orthopedic surgery?
Yes, physical therapy (PT) is essential for optimal recovery after orthopedic surgery. It helps: (1) Restore range of motion, (2) Build strength gradually, (3) Reduce pain and swelling, (4) Improve balance and stability, (5) Prevent complications, (6) Return to daily activities and sports. PT typically starts within days after surgery and continues for 3-6 months. Dr. Arif will prescribe a personalized PT program and refer you to experienced physiotherapists. Compliance with PT is crucial for successful outcomes.

Can meniscus tears be repaired or do they need removal?
Modern orthopedic surgery prioritizes meniscus repair over removal. Dr. Arif performs arthroscopic meniscus repairs for tears that have good blood supply, preserving the knee's natural shock-absorbing cartilage. Some tears require partial meniscectomy (removal of damaged portion) if repair isn't possible. The decision depends on tear location, pattern, and blood supply. Preserving meniscus tissue is crucial for long-term knee health and preventing arthritis. Dr. Arif will determine the best approach for your specific tear.
What is the success rate of ACL reconstruction surgery?
ACL reconstruction has high success rates (90-95%) for return to function and knee stability. Success varies based on: (1) Surgeon experience, (2) Graft type quality, (3) Rehabilitation compliance, (4) Patient age and activity level. Dr. Arif's extensive arthroscopic experience and advanced surgical techniques contribute to excellent outcomes. Most patients successfully return to sports and normal activities. Long-term studies show ACL reconstructions remain stable for 20+ years with proper rehabilitation and activity modification.
