Total knee replacement involves replacing damaged knee joints with an artificial implant, which helps reduce pain and improve the mobility of knee joints. It aims to enhance quality of life by providing long-term relief from pain and enabling patients to engage in daily activities with greater ease and comfort.
The surgical team will prepare the knee for the replacement. A small incision is made to access the damaged knee joint. The damaged cartilage and bone surfaces are carefully removed.
Artificial components that replace the damaged parts of the knee joint will be implanted. They are made of strong materials like metal and plastic, and they're carefully fitted into the knee to create a new, smooth joint surface.
Once the new components are in place, the surgical team will close the incision with stitches or staples. You will then begin your recovery journey, which includes physical therapy and exercises to help you regain strength and mobility in your knee.
Knee replacement may be recommended for individuals experiencing severe knee pain and limited mobility due to conditions such as:
If these conditions cannot be managed medically and worsen the quality of life, a knee replacement is advised.
Total knee replacement is recommended for individuals suffering from severe knee pain, stiffness, and limited mobility when conservative treatments have failed to provide relief. It involves replacing damaged knee joint surfaces with artificial implants, relieving pain and restoring function, leading to improved mobility and quality of life.
Partial knee replacement involves replacing only the damaged portion of the knee joint with an implant, preserving healthy tissue and ligaments, leading to faster recovery.
It is a surgical technique that utilises smaller incisions and specialised instruments to access and replace the damaged knee joint, resulting in reduced tissue damage and shorter recovery times.
Total knee replacement using patient-specific cutting guides (Zigs) involves custom- made guides tailored to the patient's anatomy, enhancing precision and accuracy during surgery, leading to improved alignment, better implant fit, and faster recovery compared to conventional techniques.
Robotic knee replacement signifies a cutting-edge advancement in knee surgery. With a variety of instruments linked to its robotic arm, it carefully removes damaged joints or tissue and replaces them with an artificial joint. This replacement can focus on the specific damaged area of the knee joint with partial replacement or tackle extensive damage by replacing the entire knee.
After your surgery, you'll be transferred to the recovery room where you'll be thoroughly monitored, usually for one to three hours. During this time, your vital signs including blood pressure, pulse, breathing, and temperature will be closely monitored at regular intervals.
