I was shocked to read that two-thirds of the knee
replacement surgeries are for women who suffer more
than men (Indian Express, Pune Newsline, “Body &
Mind’, May 2, 2007). Although it is good to know that
Zimmer Gender Solutions have developed special knee
implants especially suited to women that US FDA has
also approved.
Since most women are prone to suffer knee pain as they
grow older, they are bound to become unwilling
patients for knee replacement surgery that is both
costly and not as good as the original knee.
Hence all those who get the first signs of knee pain
must start taking precautions to prevent further
deterioration. For that purpose, the Pune-based Nature
Cure Centre of the Save India Association (SIA) has
developed simple knee exercises that can be done
easily by any one to prevent further deterioration
leading to knee replacement.
Those interested can get more info from the Centre’s
helpline number 91-20-26870204.
