What is Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee Replacement Surgery, also known as Knee Arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which damaged or worn-out portions of the knee joint are replaced with artificial implants designed to restore smooth movement and joint function.
The procedure is commonly recommended for patients suffering from severe knee arthritis, joint degeneration, or knee damage that no longer responds to medications, injections, physiotherapy, or other conservative treatments.
The primary goals of knee replacement surgery are:
Relieve chronic knee pain
Restore joint movement
Improve walking ability
Correct deformities
Enhance overall quality of life
Understanding the Knee Joint
The knee is one of the largest and most important joints in the body.
It consists of:
Femur (Thigh Bone)
Tibia (Shin Bone)
Patella (Kneecap)
Cartilage
Ligaments
Menisci
Healthy cartilage allows smooth movement of the joint. When cartilage wears away due to arthritis or injury, bones begin rubbing against each other, causing pain, stiffness, swelling, and loss of function.
Common Conditions Requiring Knee Replacement Surgery
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common reason for knee replacement surgery.
It occurs when the protective cartilage gradually wears away, resulting in:
Pain
Stiffness
Swelling
Reduced mobility
Rheumatoid Arthritis
An autoimmune condition that causes chronic inflammation and progressive joint damage.
Post-Traumatic Arthritis
Arthritis that develops following fractures, ligament injuries, or previous knee trauma.
Advanced Joint Degeneration
Severe wear and tear of the knee joint can lead to persistent pain and disability.
Knee Deformities
Conditions causing bow-legged or knock-kneed deformities may require surgical correction and joint replacement.
Symptoms That May Indicate the Need for Knee Replacement
You may be a candidate for Knee Replacement Surgery if you experience:
Persistent knee pain
Severe stiffness
Difficulty walking
Pain while climbing stairs
Swelling around the knee
Reduced range of motion
Night pain affecting sleep
Knee deformity
Failure of medications and physiotherapy
Reduced ability to perform daily activities
If knee pain significantly affects your quality of life, specialist evaluation is recommended.
Types of Knee Replacement Surgery
Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
In Total Knee Replacement, all damaged portions of the knee joint are replaced with artificial components.
This is the most commonly performed knee replacement procedure.
Partial Knee Replacement
Only the damaged portion of the knee is replaced while preserving healthy joint structures.
Selected patients with localized arthritis may benefit from this option.
Revision Knee Replacement
Performed when a previously implanted knee replacement requires correction or replacement.
Comprehensive Pre-Surgical Evaluation
At AMOT Hospital, every patient undergoes a detailed assessment before surgery.
Evaluation may include:
Clinical Examination
Assessment of pain, mobility, joint stability, and functional limitations.
Imaging Studies
Digital X-rays
Advanced Knee Imaging
CT Scan (when required)
Medical Evaluation
Overall health assessment ensures that patients are medically fit for surgery.
A personalized treatment plan is developed according to the patient’s condition and lifestyle needs.
