Why did Shoaib Akhtar have Knee Replacement Surgery? || Surgeon Reacts

Running with knee arthritis can cause further damage to the knee joint, as the impact and pressure placed on the joint can exacerbate inflammation and lead to cartilage deterioration. Over time, this can result in increased pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, making it more difficult to perform daily activities.
As a knee surgeon, I am concerned about the video that was shared. The video shows Shoaib Akhtar performing high-impact exercises with knee arthritis, which can put a significant amount of stress on the knee joint. The knee joint is a complex structure that can be easily injured if not treated with care and respect.

From my perspective, I can see a number of potential issues with the exercises being performed & the medical course of treatment chosen by him. The repetitive jumping and landing can cause stress to the patellar tendon, which connects the kneecap to the shinbone and can result in inflammation or even tears. Additionally, the side-to-side movements and sudden changes in direction can put undue stress on the medial collateral ligament and lateral collateral ligament, which provide stability to the knee joint.

While exercise is an important part of maintaining good health, it is crucial to approach it safely and carefully. I would recommend that anyone who is interested in performing high-impact exercises like those in the video seek guidance from a qualified fitness professional or physical therapist who can help them develop a safe and effective workout routine that is tailored to their individual needs and abilities.
As a knee surgeon, I have seen firsthand the damage that can be caused by knee injuries, and I strongly urge anyone experiencing pain or discomfort in their knee joint to seek medical attention as soon as possible. With proper care and treatment, many knee injuries can be successfully treated, and patients can return to their normal activities with minimal discomfort and a reduced risk of future injury.
Multiple knee surgeries can cause more pain due to several factors. Scar tissue and adhesions can develop around the knee joint, which can limit mobility and cause discomfort. Repeated trauma to the knee can also result in nerve damage and chronic pain. Additionally, each surgery can weaken the surrounding muscles, making the knee more susceptible to future injuries and pain.
