Comprehensive treatment for advanced knee arthritis and severe knee pain affecting daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and standing for long periods.
Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a highly effective surgical procedure designed to relieve pain and restore function in severely damaged knee joints. It is most commonly performed for patients suffering from advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis that has not responded to conservative treatments.
Who Needs Knee Replacement?
Patients who experience persistent knee pain that interferes with daily activities — such as walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair — and who have not found relief through medications, physiotherapy, or injections may be candidates for knee replacement surgery.
Types of Knee Replacement
Total Knee Replacement (TKR): The entire knee joint surface is replaced with a prosthetic implant. This is the most common type and is suitable for patients with widespread joint damage.
Partial (Unicompartmental) Knee Replacement: Only the damaged portion of the knee is replaced, preserving healthy bone and tissue. This procedure is less invasive and allows for a faster recovery in suitable candidates.
Deformity Correction
In cases where the knee has developed a deformity such as varus (bow-legged) or valgus (knock-kneed) alignment, knee replacement surgery can correct the alignment while simultaneously relieving pain and restoring function.
Recovery & Rehabilitation
Recovery from knee replacement surgery is a structured process. Most patients begin walking with assistance within 24 hours of surgery. A dedicated physiotherapy program helps restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion. The majority of patients return to daily activities within 6 to 12 weeks and experience significant pain relief and improved quality of life.
