Dr. Amyn Rajani, an expert in joint replacement and arthroscopy, highlights the significant prevalence of arthritis among women, citing hormonal fluctuations, genetic predisposition, and lifestyle factors as key contributors. Talking to the leading magazine 'Perfect Woman', he underscores the impact of estrogen levels during menopause and family history on inflammation and joint discomfort, particularly in rheumatoid arthritis cases. Lifestyle habits like obesity and sedentarism further heighten arthritis risks. For cases requiring surgery, Dr. Rajani recommends Unicompartmental Knee Replacement (UKR) over total knee replacement for targeted treatment and better outcomes, especially for women with localized knee arthritis.
