There is a phenomenal increase in the number of people facing orthopedic problems in the recent years. The problems of the knee joint, backache, arthritis, frozen shoulder, and osteoporosis are quite common. What do experts say about it?
Our correspondent talks to Dr. Shailendra Patil, the first surgeon in Mumbai who performed the lateral partial knee replacement.
?Yes, indeed there has been a surge in the number of patients complaining about various problems associated with bones.
In my opinion, more than the sedentary lifestyle, it is due to the irresponsible attitude of people.
When we ignore exercise and don?t make it a mandatory thing in the life, there is a gradual drop in the quality of our bones. The joints no longer remain subtle and become stiff.
Most of the time patients realize the problems, it is too late. Even the best orthopedic specialist in thane also can?t do much when the damage happens beyond threshold limits,? Dr. Shailendra Patil says.
What should be done to keep the bones and tissues healthy?

Dr Patil emphasizes two things, diet and exercise to keep bones and muscles healthy.

?It is a fact that we have hardly any control over the lifestyle today. In big cities and metros, people need to spend ten to twelve hours in the office. Moreover, they need to spend a couple of hours in travel.

When the life is hectic like this, where is the time for exercise?

However, it is not an excuse if you want to live fit and healthy forever. Find at least half an hour for yourself.

Understand your body requirement and choose exercises accordingly. Though various advanced treatment methods are there, it is always better to keep fit,? Dr Patil says.

Dr. Shailendra Patil is a renowned orthopedic surgeon in Thane

Dr Patil is one of the best and experienced orthopedic surgeons in Thane.
He is proficient in a variety of invasive and non-invasive surgical operations like MIS Total hip replacement, tissue-preserving surgeries, Total knee replacement (minimal invasive), shoulder resurfacing, complex fractures and sports injuries.

According to him, the modern procedures not only precisely correct the problems, but recover the patient fast.

Doctors nowadays aim to bring back the patient to the normal routine as fast as possible. Hence, post-operative physiotherapy is important.

?I suggest that instead of doing exercise compulsorily after surgery one should make it part of the daily routine and avoid orthopedic problems at all,? Dr Patil concludes.
