Delaying Knee Surgery has a Detrimental Impact on Health, a New Study Finds

A new study has revealed that most people who require knee surgery are waiting too long to get it done, and this is having a detrimental impact on their health and wellbeing. Experts advise that those eligible for knee replacement surgery should act sooner rather than later to avoid further deterioration of the knee and evade the increased likeliness of suffering from associated health problems.
