Knee replacement

Question

Knee replacement

Asked for Male, 48 Years

Hi doctor my uncle had met with an accident yesterday and his knee was injured. A surgery was undertaken today at Daya hospital and the doctor mentioned his knee was broken in 3 pieces and they were only able fix 2 back as the 3rd piece of knee was further broken hence it could not be fixed. Now are we able to do a knee replacement or will the current surgery undertaken be fine. My uncle work's at a bakery and his job also involves delivery of cement bags for construction. Due to this he drives a rickshaw and at times even ends up lifting the bags himself. The doctor advised he would need bed rest for 2 months at least. The doctor was also not sure if there will be any complications in future.

I don't think any doctor would be able to comment on it until he/she has seen x-rays of patient!
