Understanding Knee Replacement Surgery
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) involves removing damaged cartilage and bone from the knee joint and replacing them with artificial components made of metal alloys and high-grade polyethylene. The goal is to relieve pain and restore function.
Who Needs Knee Replacement?
Patients with severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis who have not responded to conservative treatments like medications, physical therapy, or injections may be candidates for knee replacement.
What to Expect
The surgery takes 1-2 hours under spinal or general anesthesia. Patients typically walk with assistance on the same day. Full recovery with physical therapy takes 4-6 weeks, with most patients returning to normal activities within 3 months.
Why Needed?
Recommended in advanced gonarthrosis (stage 3-4) when articular cartilage is completely worn and conservative therapy fails.
Indicative Symptoms
- •Severe knee pain limiting walking even short distances
- •Morning stiffness, regular swelling and joint deformity
- •O-type or X-type leg curvature
- •Night pain disrupting sleep
Timeline Urgency
Moderate: Delaying surgery leads to muscle atrophy, bone deformity and complicates rehabilitation.
