Knee Replacement Surgery

Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a highly effective procedure designed to alleviate pain and restore function in the knee joint. This surgery involves the replacement of damaged or diseased parts of the knee with artificial components, providing a new, smooth surface for joint movement. It is commonly recommended for patients suffering from severe arthritis or injury that has not responded to other treatments.

Knee replacement surgery is typically indicated for patients experiencing

1.Severe osteoarthritis: The most common reason for knee replacement, where the protective cartilage on the ends of bones wears down over time, causing pain and stiffness.
2. Rheumatoid arthritis: An autoimmune condition causing inflammation and joint damage.
3. Post-traumatic arthritis: Arthritis that develops after a significant knee injury.
4.Deformities: Such as bowing in or out of the legs.
5. Severe pain and limited function: When pain interferes with daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair.

Procedure

During knee replacement surgery, the damaged bone and cartilage are carefully removed and replaced with prosthetic components made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. The procedure can be either total or partial:

1. Total Knee Replacement (TKR): The entire knee joint is replaced with a prosthesis.
2. Partial Knee Replacement (PKR): Only the damaged portion of the knee is replaced, preserving healthy bone and tissue.
The choice between TKR and PKR depends on the extent of the damage and the patient’s overall health and activity level.
