Restoring Mobility and Comfort with Knee Replacement Surgery

Knee replacement surgery is a transformative procedure that addresses chronic knee pain and impaired mobility caused by joint damage. This surgical technique involves replacing the damaged surfaces of the knee joint with artificial implants to reduce pain, restore mobility, and correct misalignment.
Types of Knee Replacement Surgery
Knee replacement surgery in India is performed in two main forms: partial and total knee replacement, tailored to the patient’s specific condition.
1. Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Total knee replacement is preferred when osteoarthritis or joint degeneration affects multiple parts of the knee. This procedure replaces all damaged knee areas with prosthetic components, ensuring long-term pain relief and improved joint function.
2. Partial Knee Replacement (PKR): When osteoarthritis is confined to one part of the knee, unicompartmental or partial knee replacement is recommended. This involves replacing only the affected compartment of the knee and preserving healthy tissue and ligaments in other parts of the joint.
The Three Knee Compartments
The knee joint is divided into three primary compartments:
• Medial Compartment: Located on the inside of the knee.
• Lateral Compartment: Found on the outside of the knee.
• Patellofemoral Compartment: Located at the front of the knee, between the kneecap and the thigh bone.
Partial knee replacement focuses only on the damaged compartment, leaving the healthy parts of the knee untouched.
How Knee Replacement Works
In partial knee replacement surgery, the orthopedic surgeon removes the damaged tissue and bone from the affected compartment of the knee. These are then replaced with prosthetic components made of metal and plastic, which restore joint functionality and eliminate pain.
Smaller incisions are typically used in partial knee replacements, which result in shorter recovery times and reduced post-operative discomfort compared to total knee replacements.
Benefits of Knee Replacement Surgery
• Relief from chronic pain.
• Restoration of mobility and independence
• Improved alignment of the knee joint.
• Long-lasting results with high-quality implants.
