Knee Replacement Surgeries and Technique at World
Best Hospitals in India
Your knee joint is made up by the lower end of
your thigh bone (femur) and the upper end of your
shin bone (tibia). These normally glide over each
other easily because they are covered by smooth
cartilage. If your cartilage is damaged by injury
or worn away by arthritis, it can make your joint
painful and stiff . A new knee joint will usually
improve your mobility and reduce pain, although
your new knee wont be able to bend quite as far
as a normal knee joint.
Depending on the condition of your knee joint,
you may need to have part, or all, of your knee
joint replaced. If you have arthritis just in one
area of your knee joint, usually the inside part
of the joint called the medial compartment, you
may be offered a partial knee replacement (called
a unicondylar knee replacement).

Types of Knee Replacement Surgery 
There are two main types of surgery, depending on
the condition of the knee   Total Knee
Replacement (TKR) both sides of your knee joint
are replaced Partial (half) Knee Replacement
(PKR) only one side of your joint is replaced
in a smaller operation with a shorter hospital
stay and recovery period

When is knee replacement surgery recommended ?
Knee surgery is recommended for older people,
although adults or teenagers of any age can be
candidates for the procedure, since they are
physically active and will more rapidly wear the
joint out. The weight, gender, or age of the
person is never a factor when considering knee
replacement surgery. When considering the option
of knee replacement surgery, doctors take into
account a number of symptoms   Severe knee pain
or stiffness Do symptoms seriously undermine the
patient's ability to carry out everyday
tasks and activities, such as walking, going
upstairs, getting in and out of cars,
getting up from a chair, etc?   Moderate but
continuous knee pain Is pain present while
sleeping or resting? Chronic knee
inflammation and swelling Does the swelling not
improve after taking medications or
resting? Do drugs cause unpleasant side
effects?   Knee deformity Is there is a
noticeable arch in the inside or outside of the
knee?   Nothing else worked The doctor has
prescribed medications and physical therapy
without any substantial improvement.

Knee Replacement Surgeries and Techniques
Available at MedWorld India
Total Knee Replacement Also called total knee
arthroplasty, this surgery is for people who have
extensive damage in several parts of their knee.
The surgeon removes the diseased cartilage, as
well as some of the underlying bone, and then
fuses an artificial joint to the bone that
remains. Partial Knee Replacement If the
cartilage in just one of the knee's sections
becomes damaged, Mayo Clinic surgeons can
sometimes replace just the damaged section
instead of the whole knee joint. Recovery is
easier than with total knee replacement, but the
results may not last as long, because arthritis
could develop in other areas of the knee.
Minimally Invasive Surgery Minimally invasive
techniques allow surgeons to replace a knee using
smaller incisions. This usually results in less
pain and a quicker recovery. Bilateral Knee
Replacement Having both knees replaced at once
can reduce the overall time spent in
rehabilitation following surgery, but it's not
recommended for some people, such as those with
heart or lung disease.
