Avatar m tn ‘Line of weight bearing falling anterior to the sacral promontory’ would indicate an abnormal spinal curvature which could be the cause or the result of osteoarthritis. Some degree of osteoarthritis is expected with age which can worsen post-menopause, being overweight, improper posture, lack of physical exercise/ muscle strength, chronic trauma, diabetes etc., which causes degeneration of the joint and associated inflammation that causes pain. The acute injury is unlikely to be related to it.

182884 tn?1259312906 The anterior cruciate ligament tears if they are minor like grade I and II can be successfully treated by conservative treatment like immobilization in a cylinder cast. After a few weeks the swelling decreases and adequate strength can be regained by physiotherapy. If the ligament injury is not treated or it is long term or grade III then it gives rise to instability of the knee joint. In long run this leads to osteoarthritis.
Avatar f tn The first thing you should do is get a present day X-ray scans of your knees and confirm progressive osteoarthritis and ligament damage in both legs. Talk with an expert orthopedician who is involved for more than 10 years in knee replacement surgeries. There is no reason to fear and get ready for intense physiotherapy. Start having proper diet and take the help of a counselor and build enough courage to take it forward.

Avatar m tn In your case if you are not very physically active you may not need to go in for a surgery. You can opt for a more conservative form of treatment in the form of physiotherapy, medication etc. The drawback in this case it may progress to osteoarthritis later on and then you may need a total knee replacement at a very late stage. Well I would say the call is yours to make. I suggest another orthopaedicians view to assess your condition so as to know whether you really need the surgery now.
