What is Knee Replacement?
Knee Replacement emerges as a highly recommended therapeutic avenue for individuals grappling with deteriorated knee joints. This intricate procedure involves the meticulous substitution of compromised knee joint components with meticulously crafted prosthetic elements, tailored to address each patient’s distinct needs. The compromised joint undergoes a precise removal process, thoroughly eliminating remnants from the femur and tibia termini. Skilfully anchored in place using specialized cement, the prosthetic caps not only alleviate pain and related symptoms but also aspire to enhance the patient’s quality of life, empowering them to resume routine activities like stair climbing with newfound ease.
What are the different types of Knee Replacement?
Knee Replacement procedures encompass various types that cater to specific needs:
- Total Knee Replacement: Involves the comprehensive replacement of all components of the knee joint.
- Partial Knee Replacement (Uni- compartmental Knee Replacement): Targets specific portions of the knee joint.
- Knee Cap Replacement (Patellofemoral Replacement): Ideal for cases with localized damage to the underside of the kneecap.
- Revision Knee Replacement: Corrects previous replacement procedures, ensuring enhanced outcomes.
What are the indications that make Knee Replacement Surgery a recommended option for patients?
- Visible Joint Damage: Confirmed through imaging studies.
- Moderate to Severe Knee Pain: Persistently worsening over time.
- Aggravated Pain with Movement/Activity: Impacting daily life.
- Reduced Knee Function: Hindering overall well-being. These conditions often stem from age-related wear and tear, degenerative joint diseases, or injuries.
