Knee Replacement Surgery

Knee Replacement Surgery

What is Knee Replacement Surgery?

Knee replacement surgery (also called total knee arthroplasty) is a procedure in which the damaged surfaces of the knee joint are replaced with artificial implants made of metal and plastic. It is one of the most successful orthopedic surgeries for relieving chronic knee pain, restoring mobility, and improving quality of life.

When arthritis, injury, or degeneration damages the knee joint, daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or even sitting may become difficult. Knee replacement surgery helps patients regain independence and return to active living.

Who Needs Knee Replacement Surgery?

You may be a candidate for knee replacement if you have:

  • Severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis

  • Persistent knee pain and stiffness that limits walking, climbing, or daily activities

  • Knee deformities such as bowing in or out

  • Little or no relief from medications, injections, or physiotherapy

  • Difficulty sleeping due to knee pain

Types of Knee Replacement

Depending on your condition, your surgeon may recommend:

  • Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Both sides of the knee joint are replaced with prosthetic components.

  • Partial Knee Replacement (PKR): Only the damaged portion of the knee is replaced, preserving healthy bone and tissue.

  • Revision Knee Replacement: A second surgery if the first implant wears out or loosens over time.

Step-by-Step Procedure of Knee Replacement

  1. Incision: A cut is made at the front of the knee to access the joint.

  2. Removal of Damaged Surfaces: Worn-out cartilage and bone from the femur, tibia, and sometimes patella are removed.

  3. Implant Placement: Artificial prosthetic components are fitted and secured with bone cement or press-fit techniques.

  4. Spacer Insertion: A medical-grade plastic spacer is placed between the implants for smooth, natural movement.

  5. Closure: The incision is stitched, and the knee is dressed.

At Padma Clinic & Ortho Center, we also offer minimally invasive and computer-assisted techniques for precise alignment and faster recovery.

Recovery After Knee Replacement

  • Hospital Stay: Typically 2–3 days, though some patients may go home earlier.

  • Walking: Most patients begin walking with a walker or crutches within 24 hours.

  • Rehabilitation: Physiotherapy is essential to restore motion and strengthen muscles.

  • Return to Activities: Most daily activities resume in 4–6 weeks, while complete recovery may take 3–6 months.

Our rehabilitation team provides a customized exercise program for each patient to ensure long-term success.

Risks and Complications

Like all major surgeries, knee replacement has potential risks such as:

  • Infection

  • Blood clots

  • Implant loosening or wear over time
