Get High Standard Knee Replacement Surgery In India

Overview Knee replacement is a surgical procedure to resurface a knee damaged by arthritis and is also known as arthroplasty or total knee replacement Arthroplasty is performed to relieve pain and restore function in severely diseased knee joints.

The knee joint gets damaged due to three types of arthritis, namely osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis that leads to inability in knee joint movement, pain and disability. Purpose of total knee joint replacement is to relieve knee pain, improve function and mobility of knee joint and improve quality of life.

Contrary to popular belief, in total knee replacement, whole knee is not replaced only but knee bone and cartilage are replaced with an artificial surface by inserting an implant on bone ends.

Knee replacement surgery in India is done by cutting away damaged bone and cartilage from femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone) and patella (kneecap).

These are replaced with an artificial joint made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics and polymers.

These metal and plastic parts are used to cap ends of bones that form knee joint. These artificial parts along with kneecap create a smooth cushion that helps restore smooth functioning of knee joint and elimination of pain. Most common surgeries to treat knee arthritis are: • Total Knee Replacement Surgery (TKR) or Total Knee Arthroplasty • Partial Knee Osteotomy i.e. Uni-compartmental Knee Arthroplasty • Knee cap replacement (Patellofemoral arthroplasty) • Complex or revision knee replacement for correcting the position of an already installed knee prosthesis Knee Osteotomy (Tibial or Femoral Osteotomy) and Cartilage repair and restoration are also considered among knee replacement surgery. For knee replacement surgery in India surgeons use surgical techniques like: • Minimally invasive procedures • Arthroscopic procedures • Navigational surgery • Da Vinci Robotic surgery

Minimally invasive procedures are more popular because of accurate results with minimum cuts and blood loss besides faster recovery.
