Knee Replacement
Knee Replacement
Knee replacement surgery is also known as Total Knee Arthroplasty or Total Knee Replacement. Severe knee injuries or arthritis may cause this type of surgery. The goal of knee replacement surgery is to provide pain relief and correct the alignment of the knee joint.
Types of Knee Replacement:
1. Total Knee Replacement- whole knee replaced
2. Partial Knee Replacement – affected part of knee is replaced
Osteoarthritis causes damage to the cartilage and limits the movement of the bones. People with this disease are not able to do normal activities, such as bending at the knee, walking, or climbing stairs. Osteoarthitic knee pain gets relieved initially with medication and physiotherapy. Later on, with the progression and advancement of the condition, medications eventually fail to provide a pain free period. This continuous pain, even after treatment, warrants a knee replacement. Rheumatoid arthritis is also one of the main reasons for Total Knee Replacement Surgery. Degenerative arthritis may also result from knee injuries.
For Knee Replacement surgery, you have to be hospitalized. The duration of the stay may vary according to the patient’s medical condition. This surgery is conducted under suitable anesthesia.
During the surgery, the damaged joint surfaces of the knee joint are removed and replaced with artificial joints. These artificial joints are made up of two components femoral that go into the femoral condyles and the tibial tray, which is fixed in the tibia. Both components are made of metal. After the surgery, you will be mobilized as per standard knee replacement protocol the next day.
