Understanding Knee Replacement Surgery

Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a highly effective procedure designed to replace damaged knee structures with durable, prosthetic components. This procedure is recommended for patients suffering from:

• Osteoarthritis – The most common cause of knee degeneration, leading to joint pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis – An autoimmune condition that causes chronic joint inflammation and deterioration.
• Post-Traumatic Arthritis – Arthritis resulting from previous knee injuries or fractures.
• Other Joint Disorders – Conditions such as avascular necrosis or knee deformities that impair movement and function.

Depending on the severity of your knee damage and overall joint health, your surgeon may recommend either a total knee replacement or a partial knee replacement.

Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

Total knee replacement is a surgical procedure in which the entire knee joint is replaced with a prosthetic implant. This is the best option for patients with extensive cartilage loss, severe arthritis, or significant joint deformity.

How It Works:

• The damaged bone and cartilage are carefully removed.
• A metal or ceramic prosthesis is implanted to replace the joint surfaces.
• A medical-grade plastic spacer is placed between the prosthetic components to allow for smooth, natural movement.

Benefits of Total Knee Replacement:

✔ Long-term pain relief
✔ Improved knee function and mobility
✔ Enhanced quality of life and ability to perform daily activities
✔ Durable implants designed to last for 15-20 years or more

Partial Knee Replacement (PKR)

For patients with localized knee damage, a partial knee replacement may be an excellent alternative to total knee replacement. This procedure preserves more of the healthy bone and tissue, replacing only the damaged section of the knee.

How It Works:

• Only the affected portion of the knee joint is replaced.
• The remaining healthy cartilage and ligaments are preserved, maintaining more of the knee’s natural function.
• The recovery process is typically faster compared to a total knee replacement.

Benefits of Partial Knee Replacement:

✔ Smaller incision and less invasive procedure
✔ Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay
✔ More natural knee movement post-surgery
✔ Ideal for younger or more active patients with limited knee damage

Which Procedure is Right for You?

Choosing between total and partial knee replacement depends on several factors, including:
🔹 The extent of knee joint damage
🔹 The location of arthritis or cartilage deterioration
🔹 Your age, activity level, and overall health
🔹 Your personal treatment goals
