Osteopenia vs. knee replacement surgery
Is osteopenia (1.7) a contraindication for knee replacement surgery?
Thank you, Dr, Kaul.
Fortunately, I was able to have A Synvisc-One injection which has relieved my pain.
Thanks again.

Hi there!
Yes, low bone density is a relative contraindication for knee replacement since this would hamper optimal results and recovery.
Hope the information is helpful.
