Dr Sunil G Kini of Manipal Hospitals, Bangalore explain Are Supplements Beneficial To Recover From Knee Replacement Surgery?

Certain medications after the surgery include the routine medications which a patient was taking before the surgery, for example anti-diabetics, anti- hypertensives, heart medications etc. The doctors prescribe blood thinners after a knee or hip replacement to prevent clots in the legs or Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). These clots can travel up to the lungs and cause complications like Pulmonary Embolism. Therefore, taking anti-coagulants for the specified duration, say, 2 weeks for a single knee surgery, as prescribed by the surgeon is important. Other drugs that need to be continued are calcium and vitamin D3 supplements. The patient can continue multivitamins as well. If necessary, the patient is scanned by a Bone Mineral Density (BMD) test to check for if he/she is osteoporotic. If so, certain extra medications need to be taken for about 1-2 years, after which BMD test is again carried out.
