Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: I've had knee pain for months. Do I need surgery, or is there another option?

Not always. Most patients start with physiotherapy, medication and lifestyle changes, and surgery is only considered when the joint damage is severe or these methods stop working. Dr. Tuteja assesses the extent of the damage first and recommends surgery only when it's genuinely the best path forward.

Q2: How do I know if my injury is serious enough to see an orthopedic doctor?

If you have swelling that doesn't go down, pain that limits your movement, a joint that feels unstable, or pain that lingers for more than a couple of weeks, it's worth getting checked. Waiting too long can sometimes turn a manageable issue into a bigger one.

Q3: I'm nervous about joint replacement surgery. What should I expect?

That's a completely normal reaction. Dr. Tuteja walks patients through the entire process before surgery, from what the procedure involves to what recovery looks like week by week, so there are no surprises. Most patients are able to move around with support within a day or two after surgery.

Q4: Can sports injuries heal on their own without seeing a doctor?

Minor strains sometimes do, but ligament tears, dislocations and repeated injuries usually need proper diagnosis and a structured recovery plan. Ignoring them often leads to the same injury recurring or getting worse over time.

Q5: How long does recovery take after a fracture?

It depends on the bone involved, the severity of the break and your age and overall health. Dr. Tuteja provides a realistic recovery timeline after examining the fracture, along with a rehabilitation plan to help you regain strength and mobility safely.

Q6: Does Dr. Tuteja treat elderly patients with arthritis?

Yes, arthritis and joint degeneration in older patients are a regular part of his practice. Treatment is tailored to age, activity level and overall health, ranging from pain management and physiotherapy to joint replacement when needed.

Q7: Is emergency orthopedic care available?

Yes, for fractures, dislocations, and acute injuries that need prompt attention, timely evaluation and treatment are available to prevent complications and support faster recovery.
