Knee replacement surgery restores the weight-bearing façade of a damaged, worn, or diseased knee joint. The aim is to remove pain and restore mobility.
It is also known as knee arthroplasty, or “knee resurfacing.”
The surgeon caps the ends of the bones that form the knee joint with metal or plastic components, or implants a prosthetic, shaped as a joint. This enables the knee to move properly.
Replacement knee surgery can help patients whose knee or knees have degenerated due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis, when an injury has damaged the knee.
For most people who undergo an artificial joint replacement, the new one typically lasts for 15-20 years. The more demanding your lifestyle is, the faster it will wear out. An artificial joint typically lasts 20 years.
Yes, a person with diabetes, hypertension, or heart ailments can undergo joint replacement surgery. Nonetheless, diabetes and blood pressure must be regulated and should be under control before performing knee joint surgery.
Yes, You can usually drive a four-wheeler 4-8 weeks after surgery but only after consulting your surgeon. A proper post-operative consultation will help you recover better

Minimally invasive Sub vastus quadricep sparing is a specialised technique of doing knee replacement in which the thigh muscle or the quadriceps muscle is not cut. Then gradually lifting the quadriceps without cutting the muscle.
If your knee is severely damaged by arthritis or injury, it may be hard for you to perform simple activities, such as walking or climbing stairs. You may even begin to feel pain while you are sitting or lying down.
Partial knee replacement surgery removes damaged tissue and bone in the knee joint. It is done when arthritis is present in only part of the knee. The areas are replaced with an artificial implant, called a prosthetic.
Knee cap replacement surgery, which is also known as patellofemoral replacement or patellofemoral arthroplasty, involves the damaged bone and cartilage to be resurfaced with plastic or metal components. This type of surgery is considered a partial knee replacement as only a section of the knee is resurfaced.
A knee revision is the replacement of prosthetic implants in a person who previously had a total knee replacement. In this surgery, known as a "reoperation," an original prosthesis is removed and a new prosthesis put in place.
Recent developments in surgical techniques and technologies have advanced accuracy in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The introduction of mechanical guides and computer-assisted navigation has improved component alignment.

‘‘he first surgery was in 2013 at his age of 75 years, with the traditional method had tremendous pain after surgery.

The second surgery was almost 90 % painless than the first. The recovery was faster , he started walking on the next day of his surgery, even on the staircase, and was discharged.
