What is Knee Replacement Surgery?

Regain Mobility

The Knee bones have a soft tissue called cartilage. When the cartilage wears off, it causes wear and tears in the joints. This leads to pain and inflammation around the knees.

In a Knee Replacement Surgery, parts of the knee bone are shaved off and replaced with different kinds of implants depending on the severity of osteoarthritis in the knee and the patient’s age itself.

Step-by-Step Explanation of Knee Replacement Surgery

Preparation:

The patient is given general anesthesia, and their leg is positioned so that the knee joint is easily accessible.

Implantation:

 The surgeon will then position the prostheses on the ends of the bones and secure them in place with special cement or other methods.

Closure:

The surgeon will close the incision with sutures or staples, and a sterile bandage will be applied to the knee.
