Total Knee Replacement Surgery in Varanasi

The human knee is one of the most important body parts. If you have knee problems, it can limit your mobility. It can also cause a variety of other issues, such as difficulties walking, exercising, and engaging in other normal activities. This is now one of the most common problems among people age of 50 years and above. Total knee replacement is one of the most effective ways to treat your entire knee problem and return to your regular life. Many people are having knee replacement surgery to relieve knee pain and improve their quality of life.

Total knee replacement surgery, also known as Knee Arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged knee joint with an artificial joint known as a prosthesis or implant. This procedure is considered when conservative treatments, such as medication, physical therapy, and injections, have failed to provide adequate relief for severe knee pain and functional limitations caused by conditions such as post-traumatic arthritis, degenerative joint diseases, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis.

Dr. Amit Jaiswal, known as the best knee replacement surgeon in Varanasi, has helped many people improve their lives through successful robotic knee replacement surgeries.

Types of Knee Replacement Surgery

• The most common type of knee replacement surgery is total knee replacement (TKR) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It involves using an artificial prosthesis to replace the entire knee joint. Damaged femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone) bone and cartilage are removed and replaced with metal components. To allow for smooth movement, a plastic spacer is inserted between the metal components.
• Partial Knee Replacement (Unicompartmental Knee Replacement): This procedure is suitable for patients with arthritis in only one compartment of the knee joint. Only the damaged portion of the knee joint is replaced with metal and plastic components in partial knee replacement, leaving the healthy parts of the knee intact. This procedure is required minimum cuts than total knee replacement.

Apart from these there are some specialised knee replacement surgeries that are designed to address specific situations:

Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement: This method of knee replacement surgery employs smaller incisions and specialised instruments. It aims to reduce tissue damage and recovery time.

Bilateral Knee Replacement: Both knees are replaced during the same surgical procedure in bilateral knee replacement. This procedure is usually performed on patients who have severe arthritis in both knees.

Revision Knee Replacement: When a previously implanted knee prosthesis needs to be replaced or repaired due to wear and tear, loosening, or infection, this surgery is performed.
