Knee Replacement

Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a highly effective procedure designed to relieve chronic knee pain and restore mobility in patients suffering from advanced knee joint damage. The surgery involves replacing the damaged cartilage and bone surfaces of the knee with durable, high-quality implants that replicate natural joint movement.

Who Needs Knee Replacement?

• Severe knee pain that limits daily activities such as walking or climbing stairs
• Advanced osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
• Knee deformity (bow-legged or knock-kneed alignment)
• Persistent swelling and stiffness despite medication or physiotherapy
• Failure of conservative treatments like injections or braces

Types of Knee Replacement

• Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
• Partial Knee Replacement (Unicompartmental Knee Replacement)
• Revision Knee Replacement
• Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement

Procedure Overview

During the surgery, damaged bone and cartilage are carefully removed from the thigh bone, shin bone, and kneecap. These surfaces are then replaced with precision-designed metal and medical-grade plastic components to restore smooth and pain-free joint movement. Advanced techniques, including minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery, improve accuracy and recovery.

Recovery & Rehabilitation

• Standing and walking with support within 24 hours
• Hospital stay of 2–4 days in most cases
• Physiotherapy begins immediately after surgery
• Return to normal daily activities within 4–6 weeks
• Long-term improvement in mobility, stability, and quality of life

Benefits of Knee Replacement

• Significant pain relief
• Improved knee function and mobility
• Correction of knee deformity
• Enhanced independence and active lifestyle
• Long-lasting results with modern implants

Long-Term Outcomes

With proper rehabilitation and lifestyle care, knee replacement implants can last 15–25 years or more. Most patients experience dramatic improvement in comfort, confidence, and overall quality of life.
