Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a procedure to relieve pain and restore function in damaged knee joints. It involves replacing the worn-out or diseased joint surfaces with artificial implants, improving mobility and quality of life.
This procedure is recommended for individuals with:
Severe osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
Chronic knee pain that limits daily activities
Deformities like bow-legged or knock-knee alignment
Knee joint damage due to injury or previous surgery
Stiffness and swelling that don’t improve with medications or therapy
Involves replacing the entire knee joint with prosthetic components.
Recommended for severe arthritis affecting the whole joint.
Restores full knee function and reduces chronic pain.
Only the damaged portion of the knee is replaced.
Preserves healthy bone and ligaments.
Suitable for patients with localized arthritis in one knee compartment.
What is it? A cutting-edge technology where a robotic system assists the surgeon in precisely aligning and placing the implant.
Benefits:
Higher accuracy and better implant positioning.
Less tissue damage and faster recovery.
Reduced post-surgical pain and complications.
Performed when a previous knee replacement fails due to wear, infection, instability, or implant loosening.
A more complex procedure requiring removal of the old implant and placement of a new one.
Helps restore function and eliminate persistent pain in patients with failed primary knee replacements.
Single Knee Replacement: Surgery is performed on one knee.
Bilateral Knee Replacement: Both knees are replaced, either in one session (simultaneous) or in two separate procedures (staged).
Preoperative Assessment: Includes X-rays, blood tests, and physical evaluation.
Anesthesia: Either general or spinal anesthesia is administered.
Joint Preparation: Damaged cartilage and bone are removed.
Implant Placement: Prosthetic components are fixed in place.
Closure & Recovery: The incision is closed, and rehabilitation begins.
First Few Days: Pain management, early mobilization - usually on day one post surgery, Climbing stairs up and down before discharge from the hospital, and physiotherapy .
2-6 Weeks: Increased mobility
3 Months & Beyond: Strengthening exercises and return to daily activities.
Enhanced precision & longevity of implants.
Minimally invasive approach for faster healing.
Better post-surgical alignment, reducing complications.
