Who Needs Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee replacement is recommended for individuals experiencing chronic pain and mobility issues that disrupt daily activities when non-surgical treatments are no longer effective.
Osteoarthritis
The leading cause, where cartilage wears away, causing stiffness, swelling, and discomfort
Rheumatoid Arthritis
A chronic autoimmune condition leading to joint inflammation and deterioration
Knee Injuries & Trauma
Damage from fractures, sports injuries or accidents affecting knee function
Post Traumatic Arthritis
Joint degeneration following a past knee injury, leading to persistent pain
Knee Deformities
Structural issues like bowlegs or knock-knees placing excessive strain on the joint
Knee replacement surgery helps restore movement by replacing damaged joint surfaces with durable implants, offering lasting pain relief and improved mobility.
Types of Knee Replacement Surgery
Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
Replaces both sides of the knee joint with artificial implants, ideal for severe arthritis or extensive joint damage
Partial Knee Replacement
Only the damaged portion of the knee is replaced, preserving healthy bone and ligaments for a quicker recovery
Bilateral Knee Replacement
Both knees are replaced in a single procedure, often recommended for patients with advanced arthritis in both knees
Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement
Uses smaller incisions and advanced techniques to reduce tissue damage, leading to faster healing and less post-operative pain
Revision Knee Replacement
Corrective surgery to replace or repair a failed or worn-out knee implant from a previous procedure
