Knee Arthroplasty
Knee Arthroplasty, commonly known as Knee Replacement Surgery, is a procedure used to relieve pain and restore knee function when the joint is significantly damaged. During the surgery, damaged bone and cartilage are removed and replaced with artificial prosthetic components designed to support improved movement.
At Asian Orthopaedic Hospital, Knee Replacement Surgery in Sabarmati is planned according to the severity of knee damage, symptoms, mobility limitations, lifestyle, and individual treatment requirements.
When Is Knee Replacement Surgery Needed?
The knee joint may become damaged due to arthritis, age-related wear, previous injuries, fractures, or conditions affecting the cartilage and supporting tissues. As joint damage progresses, patients may experience persistent pain, stiffness, swelling, and difficulty with everyday movements.
Other conditions that may contribute to significant knee joint damage include:
Advanced knee damage can make activities such as walking, climbing stairs, sitting, standing, or bending the knee increasingly difficult. When medication, physiotherapy, lifestyle modifications, and other non-surgical treatments do not provide sufficient relief, an orthopaedic evaluation can help determine whether Knee Replacement Surgery in Sabarmati is appropriate.
Types of Knee Arthroplasty
The appropriate type of knee replacement depends on the location and extent of joint damage, the condition of the surrounding structures, and the patient’s individual treatment requirements. A Knee Replacement Surgeon in Sabarmati can determine the suitable procedure following a detailed clinical evaluation.
Total Knee Replacement
Total Knee Replacement involves replacing the damaged surfaces of the knee joint with artificial prosthetic components. It may be considered when arthritis or other conditions have caused extensive damage across multiple areas of the knee.
Partial Knee Replacement
Partial Knee Replacement involves replacing only the damaged portion of the knee while preserving healthy parts of the joint where appropriate. It may be considered when significant damage is limited to a specific compartment of the knee.
Revision Knee Replacement
Revision Knee Replacement is performed when an existing knee replacement requires further surgical treatment. It may be considered in cases involving implant wear, loosening, instability, infection, or other complications and requires detailed assessment and surgical planning.
