World is widely enjoying its success...

The knee replacement surgeries are highly successful and popular worldwide.

• It mainly helps people with aging or damaged knee joints, removing their knee pain and getting them back to normal knee motion and movements.

Let's understand it in details...

What is knee replacement surgery?

In this process, the unhealthy parts of the knee are replaced with specific types of prostheses.

The main purpose of this procedure is,

• To relieve the patients from severe pain and improve their restricted knee mobility.

• It mainly treats an arthritis like degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis etc.

Types of knee replacement surgeries

There are mainly two types:

• Total Knee Replacement Surgery (TKR)• Partial Knee Replacement Surgery (PKR)

Both are meant for replacing the damaged knee joints with artificial components.They are aimed to providing the free and pain-free knee motions.

Partial Knee Replacement Surgery -

Known as Unicompartmental Knee ArthroplastyORUnicondylar Knee Arthroplasty.

Mainly treats the knee osteoarthritis and only requires a limited knee area that is damaged.

Total Knee Replacement Surgery -

In TKR, the orthopaedic surgeon will replace all three parts of the knee with metal and plastic prostheses.

• End of the femur, tibia and lower surface of the patella.

A new knee surface is enhanced for the patient.

Who requires TKR surgery

• TKR is mainly performed in elderly with severe knee pain and deformities.

• Whereas, the age is not a bar as there are also other reasons that may require TKR to perform.

People with obesity, traumatic injuries and types of reasons (who have their damaged knee) will need to undergo this surgery too!

Who requires TKR surgery

You and your doctor will decide to undergo a surgery, if you have

• A painful, stiff and swollen knee.• Difficulties even in the simplest of routine tasks.• Moderate-to-severe pain while walking, climbing the stairs or

bending or straightening the knees.
