Knee Replacement Surgery

Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a common surgical procedure designed to replace a damaged or diseased knee joint with an artificial implant. This procedure is typically performed to relieve pain and restore function in patients suffering from severe arthritis, knee injuries, or other degenerative conditions. The goal of knee replacement surgery is to improve mobility and enhance the quality of life for individuals with chronic knee pain.

Why You Might Need Knee Replacement Surgery:

  • Severe Osteoarthritis: When the cartilage cushioning the knee joint wears away, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness.
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis: An inflammatory condition that can damage the knee joint.
  • Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Arthritis that develops after a knee injury.
  • Chronic Knee Pain: Persistent pain that interferes with daily activities and does not respond to conservative treatments.
  • Reduced Mobility: Difficulty in walking, climbing stairs, or performing other routine activities.

Procedure:

  1. Consultation and Diagnosis: The surgeon evaluates your knee condition through physical examination and imaging tests like X-rays or MRI scans.
  2. Preparation: The patient undergoes preoperative evaluations, including medical history review and physical examinations. Anesthesia is administered before the surgery.
  3. Surgical Procedure: The surgeon makes an incision over the knee, removes the damaged bone and cartilage, and prepares the bone surfaces. The artificial components are then implanted and secured in place.
  4. Closure: The incision is closed with sutures or surgical staples, and a bandage is applied to protect the area.
