Is TKR Really Needed?” | Dr. Ram Prasad Clears the Confusion | Ortho Podcast Short

Are too many Total Knee Replacements (TKR) being done unnecessarily in India? Or are patients waiting too long and suffering avoidable pain?

In this short and powerful podcast snippet, Dr. Ram Prasad (MS Ortho – AIIMS New Delhi, FAOA Australia) and a senior fellow orthopaedic surgeon tackle the controversial topic that patients often whisper but never ask directly:
👉 “Is knee replacement over-prescribed?”

💬 This Clip Covers:

TKR is not a “scam” — but not everyone needs it either!

When is knee replacement the right medical decision?

Why some patients with Grade 4 arthritis delay surgery too long

Role of injections, physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes before surgery
