Total Knee Replacement
Total knee replacement is an advanced surgical procedure that replaces damaged knee joint surfaces with precision-engineered prosthetic components. Using state-of-the-art techniques and implant technology, our surgeons restore function and relieve pain for patients suffering from severe knee arthritis or other debilitating knee conditions.
Is this Right for Me?
Patients experiencing severe knee pain, limited mobility, and reduced quality of life due to advanced arthritis or joint damage may be candidates for total knee replacement. Through comprehensive evaluation including weight-bearing X-rays, advanced imaging, and detailed physical examination, our team determines if knee replacement is the appropriate solution for each individual.
Procedure
During surgery, our specialists use precise techniques to remove damaged cartilage and bone, carefully positioning and aligning prosthetic components to replicate natural knee mechanics. Advanced surgical methods and customized instrumentation ensure optimal implant positioning, which is crucial for long-term success and function.
Recovery
Recovery follows a structured rehabilitation protocol, beginning with early mobilization on the day of surgery. Initial focus is on reducing swelling, restoring range of motion, and progressive strengthening exercises. Our team works closely with physical therapy to guide patients through their recovery, typically allowing return to daily activities within 6-12 weeks, with continued improvement over several months.
