Knee replacement or knee arthroplasty is the surgical procedure to replace a damaged knee. In this process, plastic and metal parts are used to cap and seal the ends of the bones of the knee joint, including the knee cap. An individual with severe knee arthritis or severe knee injury may consider undergoing knee replacement surgery. The aim of knee replacement surgery is to resurface the parts of the knee joint that have been damaged. There are different arthritis that may affect the knee joint such as Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, and Traumatic arthritis.
The orthopaedic doctor will diagnose the knee condition prior to the knee replacement operation. Tenderness, swelling, and soreness in the knee will be examined by the doctor. The doctor will also try to push and pull the knee joint in order to assess the damage to the knee's structure. An x-ray, ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI may be recommended by the doctor to diagnose the state of the knee and the severity of the damage.
Not all knee injuries necessitate surgery.
If surgery is necessary, the doctor will select the best option among the following:
1. Partial knee replacement surgery - A partial knee replacement surgery involves the orthopaedic surgeon replacing only the damaged section of the knee with metal and plastic components.
The operation is done with only a few small incisions, and recovery is usually painless.
2. Total knee replacement surgery - A total knee replacement treatment involves removing the diseased bone of the knee, including the cartilage, kneecap, and shinbone.
An prosthetic joint constructed of high-grade polymers and metal alloys replaces the missing component.
Testimonials
If you have a severe knee injury and all other treatments fail to provide you relief or if the severity of the damage in the knee is too much, the orthopedic doctor might suggest undergoing a knee replacement surgery. You will be suggested a knee replacement surgery only when the doctor sees the treatment as the best fit for your condition. The orthopedic surgeon will take into account the overall condition of your health before suggesting surgery.
If you undergo a knee replacement surgery, you will not require to stay at the hospital for more than two days. But the total duration of your hospital stay will depend on how quick the recovery is. Once you are able to stand and walk comfortably, you will be asked to go home.
Most patients can take shower or bath on the very next day of the knee replacement surgery. Your surgeon may instruct you to follow precautions to keep your surgical area safe while taking bath and it is important for you to follow the instructions without fail.
