Knee Replacement

To determine the value of a broken leg from a workers' compensation claim, consider factors such as medical expenses, lost wages, and the severity of the injury. Consult with a workers' compensation attorney who can evaluate the specifics of your case and provide guidance. Additionally, review state guidelines and previous settlements for similar injuries to gain insight into potential compensation amounts. Keep in mind that settlements may also include pain and suffering, which can vary significantly.

First call 911. Then apply direct pressure with sterile gauze or bandages. you can also raise the knee above the heart and use pressure points.

there are three nerves in the knee that transmit pain signals. As people get older ( in their 60's and beyond) those nerves start to lose their ability to transmit those pain signals.

Yes, after a few years knees that have been operated on often need maintainence, possibly another surgery. It will never get totally better, sorry.

The paper of Jamieson et al. on this subject concludes the following:

There is no plausible reason that TKA should affect the

patellar tendon reflex. Despite this, in clinical practice

TKA is often thought to be responsible for absent

patellar tendon reflexes. This study supports the

hypothesis that there is no effect of TKA on patellar

tendon reflexes.

If you are going to avoid stair climbing after your knee replacement then it is not good.

One of the main reason people go for knee replacement is to have full freedom active life style.

Also another thing to be considered is stair climbing should not be used as an exercise protocol vigorously.

Having said that early rehab protocol to achieve stair climbing helps people so much in long run.

Hope it helps!

i think so??

Check with your insurance company before any thing is done.

If the doctor orders nursing and physical therapy in the home and your policy covers that then it is good. The in care facility has to be approved by your insurance company prior to going there. Always check with your insurance company, they are more than happy to help ahead of time. The doctors office usually has someone that does the surgery scheduling & they do alot of the communication and getting approval ahead of time. Don't forget to talk with the hospital discharge planner regarding where to go following surgery, alot depends on what assistance you have at home.

I have found a site that deals with the requirements and and recuperation involved in Knee replacements You may find the information very useful. go to the related link(Osborne Park Hospital Total Knee Replacement GUIDE FOR PATIENTS) below for more information.

in mumbai(india) surgeons charges are approximately 80000. in other citis (non-metros) its approx 50000

Why do you have to have a knee replacement? We can't help you if you don't tell us what the cause of the problem is. There may be options for you, especially if the reason for knee replacement is pain (due to arthritis, etc).

Yes. I work in an Orthopedic office and many patients that have previously had partial knee replacements are candidates for a total knee replacement. In our office, many of the docs do not do partial knee replacements, especially in younger people because the chance of the cartilage on the other side wearing down necessitating a total knee replacement is quite frequent.

You may have mis-heard, don't believe there is such an implant, but they typically weigh 750g-1kg.

There are a few doctors who still do charity work for poor patients.

You can contact Dr Swetal Bhavsar at Ahmedabad / Mumbai.

In my practice 95% patients have insurance and they pay full fees.

Usually Dr. Bhavsar's charges are 5000 USD for 1 side Knee Replacement but sometimes in genuinely poor patients he has been doing free surgeries as if an angel of god.

It is my personal experience that many of my poor patients I refer to him and he gives best results even when it is charity work.

You can search " Dr Swetal Bhavsar " in linkedin , google web / google videos and you can see his work.

No, and if I might comment, you're either under 21 (like me) or a nimrod because cointreau is an orange flavored liqueur and drambuie is anise (black licourice) flavored. Replacements for cointreau would be Grand Marnier, triple sec, and orange or blue curacao.

Below content by James Young:

The replacements for Cointreau listed above are OK examples of substitutes for Cointreau, however I will only use Cointreau in my drinks as it has the most distinct orange flavor of all the above listed substitutes. As a retired bartender, I don't agree with the rest of the response, especially the comment about Drambuie, as it is incorrect. Also I think that the post is a very immature answer. Lack of knowledge about alcohol does not make nor give the right to name call, especially if the answer provided is wrong. People are looking for answers and not insults.

All of the below information about the difference in the various brands and their components of the listed orange liqueurs can be verified at Wikipedia.

Cointreau is actually a brand name of triple sec. It's a blend of both bitter orange peels and sweet orange peels. Grand Marnier is actually a blend of Cognac Brandy and bitter orange peels. I personally prefer Cointreau over the taste of Grand Mariner as it taste better. It's sweeter and has a very distinct orange taste where as Grand Marnier has a strong alcohol taste, similiar to tequila with a hint of orange aftertaste, and doesn't have that strong distinct orange taste as Cointreau. Orange Curaçao would be my last option of them all. I have no issues with bottom shelf liqueurs, I just think they are cheaply made and do not taste as good as the actual products they represent. This is of course my personal opinion based on taste and preference for Orange Liqueur. Used what you like as this is just my personal preference.

This may be a little off topic, but I use Cointreu in my fruit salad ( about a cup or so, as it is large) and to make my margaritas, on the rocks only, as follows:

1 1/2 jiggers of Curevo 1800 Gold tequila.

1 1/2 jiggers of Cointreau liqueur.

1 1/2 jiggers of Villa Massa Limoncello liqueur.

4 ounces of Curevo Margarita mix. I use to make my own, but it's time consuming.

Salt rimmed or orange suger rimmed margarita glass. Depending on taste preference. Shaken in a large stainless steel cocktail shaker and poured over ice. You can use a small shaker and a glass if your confident. Garnish with a lime wedge for salt or an orange wedge if orange sugar is used. Lime if neither is used. Always use a wedge of whatever fruit, depending on request, to rim the glass. If dipping in salt use a lime wedge to rim the glass and for orange sugar, use an orange wedge to rim the glass for the orange sugar.

Limoncello is the secrect ingredient that has made many of my former customers and now friends love my margaritas. Limoncello is usually kept very cold and served straight up and is a very popular aperitif in Italy.

The point of this whole post is the comment made about Drambuie. I totally disagree with the original postings flavor of Drambuie that is listed above. Go to the Drambuie website and read about the ingredients. To me it taste like honey. I'm not saying that it doesn't have Anise in it, but licorice isn't the primary taste of this great liqueur. The website list the primary ingredients as being aged Scotch Whiskey, honey, heather and herbs and spices. I've drank many "Rusty Nails" ( equal parts Chivas Scotch and Drambuie, on the rocks) but this popular drink has a sweet and distinctly strong Scotch and honey taste. I hate black licorice and foods that contain Anise. If Drambuie tasted like licorice I would not have a bottle in our Wiskey collection.

The are many different licorice liqueurs out there if that is the flavor you are seeking. The most popular ones that I have used are Ouzo, a popular Greek liqueur and Sambuca, an Italian liqueur. I dislike both of these as these do have a strong and very distinct licorice flavor.

It varies by hospital and surgeon so ask for price quotes. An estimated 60,000,000 US residents are without health insurance. To save costs without necessarily reducing quality, over 500,000 US residents traveled overseas for medical care in 2007 - and the trend is rising. Cost savings can be as high as 90%. One reason is because hospitals in the US often cost $500 or more per square foot to build, but in many foreign countries they can be built for less than $100 a square foot to state of the art specifications. And, often there are fewer patients overseas in relation to the nursing staff available to care for patients. Take care when choosing a facilitator, medical team and hospital just as you would for hospitals and medical teams here. Hospitals should be JCI accredited, and as a double-check, visit the US Department of State website for updates on any countries to avoid and other precautions. You could also visit a country like India where the expertise is of international standards and the treatment is economical. You could even combine your treatment with a holiday! I would recommend Vibha - The Family hospital at Mumbai India for Orthopaedic and Joint replacement for the facilities are excellent, the doctors competent and the cost is very economical. It costed just 5000 USD for my friend to operate her mother at Vibha Te Family hospital at Mumbai India.
