About Knee Replacement Surgery

Total knee replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgery that replaces the damaged parts of the knee, which causes pain and interfere with everyday activities. The most common cause of knee damage is Osteoarthritis, which is the damage of bone and cartilage around the knee joint due to wear and tear or other reasons. Sometimes arthritis can also be caused due to an immunity disorder that affects joints, known as rheumatoid arthritis.

Procedure of knee replacement surgery

Before the surgery the doctors would recommend tests like X-ray and CT Scan to determine the extent of damage.

The doctors operate under the effects of anesthesia and follow these steps during the surgery:

1. Make an incision, move aside the knee cap and remove the damaged parts of the joint
2. Prepare the joint surface for replacement
3. Attach new pieces of artificial joint
4. Close the incision after testing the movement of the joint

Types of knee replacement surgeries

1. Knee replacement surgery: The most basic and traditional knee replacement surgery, also known as total knee replacement surgery is the surgery where the surgeon replaces the damaged part of the knee joint bone and cartilage with metal.
2. Minimally invasive knee replacement surgery: A comparatively new method of knee replacement, minimally invasive knee replacement attempts to minimize the size of invasions and soft tissue damage during knee replacement. It attempts to reduce the size of the invasion to half, thereby reducing post-operative pain.
3. Robotic knee replacement surgery: In robotic knee replacement surgery, a robot arm assists in the completion of the procedure. Using a robotic arm helps in accurate positioning of the implant and faster recovery.

Recovery

After surgery, the effect of anesthesia will wear off, and the doctors will prescribe medications to control the pain. The doctor will advise the patient to test the knee by making the joint to ensure the smooth functioning of the joint. The patient may require a recovery period of 3-4 days before they start walking again with support. For some time, the patient is prohibited to do any high-impact activity that may cause a jerk or sudden stress to the knee joint. The physiotherapist will advise the patient to do some exercise to keep the joint active and moving.

After almost three to six weeks, the patient may be able to resume their everyday activities and walk without support.
