Primary Total Knee Replacement Surgery

WHAT IS A KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY?

Total knee replacement surgery also called knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to resurface a knee damaged by arthritis. This can help relieve pain and restore function in severely diseased knee joints.

The goal of knee replacement surgery or knee joint replacement surgery is to resurface the parts of the knee joint that have been damaged and to relieve knee pain that cannot be controlled by other treatments.

Your doctor can choose from a variety of knee replacement prostheses and surgical techniques, considering your age, weight, activity level, knee size and shape, and overall health.

WHAT THE KNEE SURGERY ENTAILS

The operation usually takes between an hour and an hour and a half and many anaesthetic techniques are possible.

Your surgeon will remove the damaged joint surfaces via a cut on the front of your knee. They will be replaced with an artificial knee joint. This is made from metal, plastic or a combination of the two.

First of all, no words for his expertise, excellent guidance starting from consultation to the surgery. His concerning nature towards his patients made it more convincing to cooperate and go for the surgery. Now coming to the surgery... My ACL and menicus was torn and I went for the Repairement surgery of those, which went totally successful. Even after surgery no kind of inconvenience has been experienced.
