Knee
Replacement
Knee replacement surgery involves the replacement of the damaged surface of the knee joint with an implant made of metal and plastic components. Depending on the affected area, the surgery can replace the entire knee or part of it. The operation is performed through a 6- to 12-inch incision.
The damaged parts, the lower end surfaces of the thigh bone and the upper end of the shin bone, are removed. These are replaced with artificial surfaces called "prostheses," custom-created for each patient. Depending on the prosthesis, it may need to be cemented to the bone. At the end of the operation, the skin is closed with stitches. After the procedure, the patient must stay between five and seven days in the hospital for initial recovery.
Patients should avoid immersing the surgical wound in water for the first few days until it has been wholly sealed and dried. Three to six weeks after surgery, the patient should be able to resume most of their everyday activities. For example, most people can drive themselves 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. Mild soreness is typical when starting to use the new knee, but an exercise regimen and a balanced iron-rich diet will help the patient recover quickly.
Postoperative precautions include avoiding highly demanding, high-impact activities, repetitive lifting of more than 50 pounds, and strenuous walking or hiking. Cycling is a safe aerobic exercise that is recommended after knee surgery.

About Knee Replacement
Knee replacement surgery is a medical procedure that aims to relieve pain and restore mobility in individuals suffering from severe knee joint damage or arthritis. During the surgery, the damaged knee joint is replaced with an artificial implant, allowing for improved functionality and reduced discomfort.
Knee replacement becomes necessary when conservative treatments like medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications are no longer effective in managing knee pain. Conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and knee injuries can all warrant a knee replacement procedure.
There are various types of knee replacement procedures available, including total knee replacement, partial knee replacement, and minimally invasive knee replacement. The choice of procedure depends on the extent and location of the knee joint damage, as well as the individual patient's needs. The benefits of knee replacement surgery are vast, ranging from pain reduction and increased mobility to improved quality of life.
