Knee Replacement Surgery
Knee Replacement Surgery is an extensive surgical procedure used for the restoration or resurfacing of damaged knees, primarily due to arthritis. The medical term for this surgery is Arthroplasty. In this surgical procedure, prosthetics or artificial implants made of metal or plastic material are used to restore the damaged part of the knee. These artificial parts are utilized as a capping material to cover the ends of the knee joint and kneecap bones. Apart from arthritis, total knee replacement surgery is also required in severe cases of knee injuries.

Primary knee replacement
Primary knee replacement surgery is a procedure that involves replacing the damaged or diseased joint with a prosthetic one. This surgery is typically performed on individuals who have severe knee pain, stiffness, and limited mobility due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other conditions. The goal of the surgery is to reduce pain, improve function, and enhance the overall quality of life. The surgery involves removing the damaged cartilage and bone from the knee joint and replacing it with a metal or plastic implant. The surgery typically takes several hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
Revision Knee Replacement
Revision knee replacement surgery is a procedure that is performed to correct problems that may arise after a primary knee replacement surgery. This type of surgery is typically performed when the initial knee replacement has failed, is causing pain, or is not functioning properly. During the revision surgery, the existing knee implant is removed and replaced with a new one. The procedure can be more complex and take longer than the initial knee replacement surgery. The goal of revision knee replacement surgery is to restore the function and mobility of the knee.
Partial knee replacement
Partial knee replacement surgery is a surgical procedure where only a portion of the knee joint is replaced with artificial implants. This type of surgery is typically recommended for patients who have early-stage osteoarthritis or other degenerative conditions that affect only a specific section of the knee. The goal of the surgery is to relieve pain and restore mobility to the affected area without the need for a full knee replacement. The procedure is typically less invasive than a full knee replacement and typically has a shorter recovery period.
