Knee pain can be big or small problem. If you suffer from degenerative knee arthritis, you will experience intermittent pain year after year. Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital pointed out that about 7% of men and 13% of women in Hong Kong suffer from degenerative knee arthritis, and Eastern District Hospital used to provide an average of about 200 joint replacement surgeries per year.
Wong Mankwan, an associate orthopedic consultant doctor of the hospital, said that the hospital increased the number of joint replacement surgeries since October last year, and it is expected to increase the number of surgeries by 150 by the first three months of this year, an increase of 1.5 times. Some postoperative recovery patients said that after the operation, they can do housework and go to the bathroom without the assistance of crutches, which improves their mobility.
