Knee Replacement

Knee replacement is a surgical procedure to remove damaged or worn cartilage and bone in the knee joint, replacing it with an artificial joint (prosthesis). It is typically performed to address advanced calcification, arthritis, or traumatic knee damage. This surgery aims to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance the patient’s quality of life.

Types of Knee Replacement

​

    Total Knee Replacement: Replacement of the entire knee joint with a prosthesis.
    Partial Knee Replacement: Replacement of only the damaged portion of the knee joint.

​

Stages of Surgery

​

    Preparation: The patient undergoes a thorough examination and necessary tests before surgery.
    Surgery: The damaged areas of the knee are cleaned, and the prosthesis is placed.
    Recovery Process: Physical therapy and rehabilitation gradually restore the patient’s mobility.

 

Most patients can return to daily activities within a few weeks of surgery, but full recovery and mobility may take several months.
