When do I Need Knee Replacement Surgery?
At Partani Clinic, the knee replacement surgery is suggested after exhausting all the non-invasive options. So, you need to undergo the procedure only when all other non-operative methods like lifestyle changes, injections, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy offer you no relief from pain.
What is an Artificial Knee?
Using the total knee replacement surgery, the surgeon replaces your knee with prosthetic one with metal shell at the femur (the end of your thigh bone), plastic button in place of your knee cap, and a metal as well as polyethylene (medical-grade plastic) trough on your shin bone (tibia). The surgeon can attach the components using bone cement or a cement-free approach to help it stay in place.
Recovery And Rehabilitation after Knee Replacement Surgery?
You can start walking the next day with the aid of crutches or walker. You need to undergo physical therapy to learn to walk with the new knee.
