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.

The leading cause, where cartilage wears away, causing stiffness, swelling, and discomfort

Knee Injuries & Trauma

Damage from fractures, sports injuries or accidents affecting knee function

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

Knee replacement surgery helps restore movement by replacing damaged joint surfaces with durable implants, offering lasting pain relief and improved mobility.
