Total knee replacement surgery also called knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to resurface a knee damaged by arthritis. This can help relieve pain and restore function in severely diseased knee joints.
The goal of knee replacement surgery or knee joint replacement surgery is to resurface the parts of the knee joint that have been damaged and to relieve knee pain that cannot be controlled by other treatments.
Your doctor can choose from a variety of knee replacement prostheses and surgical techniques, considering your age, weight, activity level, knee size and shape, and overall health.
The operation usually takes between an hour and an hour and a half and many anaesthetic techniques are possible.
Your surgeon will remove the damaged joint surfaces via a cut on the front of your knee. They will be replaced with an artificial knee joint. This is made from metal, plastic or a combination of the two.
Knee replacement surgery gave me a new lease on life. I can now walk without pain and enjoy activities I couldn't do before.
appointment appointmentYes, its absolutely possible and is safe but the patient selection is very important. Patient's age, medical co-morbid conditions like diabetes, hypertension, cardiac conditions are taken into consideration.
Absolutely Yes. We believe that physiotherapy is very essential for fast recovery of patient post surgery. Our patients receive 3 weeks of physio by our team of expert physiotherapist. Any claims otherwise are just marketing gimmicks and nothing else.
We have developed special technique to minimize pain to bare minimum. We inject special medicines during surgery and devised formula that takes care of pain.
We make patients walk on the same evening or next morning of surgery. Patients start stair climbing on 2nd post-operative day and most of our patients on discharge are walking without any walker or brace (external support).
