What is Knee Replacement Surgery?

Replacing a whole knee joint by an artificial knee joint is known as knee replacement or alternatively as knee arthroplasty. The aim is to relieve discomfort patients may have and restore joint functions so that a person may freely move without any pain.

Usually, the surgery is performed on patients suffering from:

• Osteoarthritis- The leading cause or reason as to why knee replacement is performed. It is a joint degeneration condition causing damage to the joint in a progressive manner.
•  Rheumatoid Arthritis – A chronic disease characterized by having inflammation of the joints.
• Post- Traumatic Arthritis – The resulting condition caused by bone fractures, ligament ruptures, or prior knee trauma.
• Stiffness & Pain: Remedies: Medication, Therapy, Rest – Relief is elusive, regardless of the approach taken.

Different Kinds of Knee Replacement Procedures

These are performed to fulfill various client requirements, considering their level of joint deterioration:

1. TKR (Total Knee Replacement)

An entire knee joint is substituted with an artificial prosthesis.

Patients documented with arthritis or joint injury tend to benefit the most.

Pain relief and enhancement in range of motion around the joint are achieved over the long term.

2. PKR (Partial Knee Replacement)

Replacement of only the damaging parts of the knee.

Can be performed on patients with single compartment osteoarthritis knee.

Improved functional outcome compared to TKR and quicker rehabilitation along with better maintenance of the knee functions.

3. Revision Knee Replacement

Most recently documented prosthetic designs tend to wear out, in which case muscles tend to show considerable wear, bone infection, or wearout for pre-existing loosening implants.

Replaces with a more efficient and long lasting implant that restore’s joint function.

Surgical Removal of the Bone & Cartilage of the Knee Joint

Depending on the surgeon’s experience, the surgery is performed with either spinal or complete anesthesia. The procedure takes around 60 to 90 minutes. Below is a general guide of the procedure:

• Step 1: The first incision allows the surgeon to make a cut into the knee, providing access to the joint that is damaged.
•  Step 2: The bone and cartilage that have been damaged gets severed away. 
• Step 3: For the knee joint, there is an implant made of metal and silicon that goes in as a substitute. 
• Step 4: Suture or staples are applied to the incision after the new one is put in place. 

Students are kept under watch for a couple of hours post surgery prior to commencing rehabilitation. Walking is possible for most patients with support after 24 hours!
