Could my Sister's Black Ankle Need Urgent Medical Attention?

Patient's Query

Nine years ago, my Elder Sister twisted her ankle on three different occasions, that led to swelling. Over the past years, we have consulted many doctors, but nothing seemed to help her and now, her ankle had completely turned black, with severe pain and itching, followed by occasional white semi transparent liquid oozing from the pores.

Answered by Dr. Pramod Bhor

Based on the symptoms you've described, it's possible she may have developed a condition called chronic venous insufficiency. This happens when the veins in the legs have trouble sending blood back to the heart. The black discoloration could be due to poor circulation, and the oozing liquid might be a sign of skin breakdown or infection. It's crucial she sees an orthopedist promptly for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, elevating her leg, applying ice, and avoiding prolonged standing may help alleviate some discomfort.

I am trying to find the starting point to getting my knees replaced

Knee replacement surgery is done to replace the damaged joints so patient is relieved of symptoms. The knee joint with an artificial knee called prosthesis made of metal, plastic, and ceramic. It helps to restore function of the damaged knee and relieve arthritis pain. Knee replacement surgery is advised if the pain is interfering with your daily activities and negatively affecting your quality of life. Types of knee replacement surgery Simultaneous bilateral knee replacement - When both knees are replaced at the same time. The primary advantage of a procedure is that there is only one hospital stay and one rehabilitation period to heal both knees. But rehabilitation may be slower. Also these patients may need assistance at home also. Generalized fitness is important here. Staged bilateral knee replacement- Each knee is replaced at a different time. These surgeries are done a few months apart. This staged approach helps one knee to recover before the second surgery. The main advantage of a this procedure is the reduced risk of complications and also requires a shorter hospital stay. However, since this procedure requires two surgeries, the overall rehabilitation period can be longer. Either surgery may involve any combination of total knee replacement or partial knee replacement. The risks associated with this surgery: infection, blood clots, failure of the artificial joint, heart attack etc. Post surgery care, rehabilitation is very important. Hope our answer helps you.
