Managing Knee & Spine Issues | Part 2 | Dr. Ajay Kumar S P & Dr. Shivareddy H A | Manipal Whitefield

In this Part 2 discussion, Dr. Ajay Kumar S P, Consultant – Spine Care, and Dr. Shivareddy H A, Consultant – Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement Surgery – Robotic Ortho Surgeon at Manipal Hospital Whitefield, shed light on the complex connection between severe lumbar canal stenosis and bilateral knee arthritis. Patients often struggle with back pain, leg pain, and difficulty walking due to both conditions. Knee deformities like bowing or fixed bending alter walking patterns, putting extra stress on the spine and worsening neurological symptoms. Treatment decisions depend on whether the spine or knee issue affects life more severely. Spine surgery is prioritised when nerve compression and neurological deficits are significant, while knee replacement may come first when pain and deformities restrict mobility. A comprehensive, case-based evaluation ensures the right approach for restoring movement and improving quality of life.
