You’re not alone if you’re considering total knee replacement. Each year, over 600,000 people worldwide undergo this surgery, most often due to arthritis that damages the cartilage in the knee joint. Knee Arthroplasty is the international standard of care for treating degenerative and rheumatologic knee joint diseases, as well as certain knee fractures.
For most patients, this surgery greatly improves the ability to perform everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and standing up from a seated position. The procedure involves replacing the damaged cartilage with high-quality artificial joint surfaces made from imported metal alloys and highly cross-linked plastics, designed to move like a healthy knee joint.
At My Ortho Centre, we never compromise on the quality or standards of implants, ensuring pain-free mobility for years to come.
Improving outcomes for knee replacement patients depends on three key factors:
- All knees are not the same: Accurate diagnosis of the extent and type of knee damage is vital to determine whether replacement is required.
- All patients are not the same: Surgical planning, component selection, and precise implantation must be tailored to the individual.
- The surgeon’s role continues after surgery: Following a patient-specific rehabilitation program is essential for optimal recovery.
Dr. Mohit Madan and his skilled team address every aspect with expertise and precision to deliver the best possible results. Recognized as one of India’s leading knee replacement surgeons, Dr. Madan has successfully performed numerous knee surgeries with exceptional patient satisfaction and accuracy.
Knee Replacement Surgery
At My Ortho Centre, knee replacement surgery is performed to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life for patients suffering from severe knee joint damage. This damage is often caused by arthritis, injury, or other degenerative conditions that affect the cartilage and bone surfaces of the joint.
The procedure involves replacing the worn-out or diseased portions of the knee with high-quality artificial implants made from advanced metal alloys and medical-grade plastics. These implants are designed to replicate the natural movement of a healthy knee, allowing patients to return to normal activities with greater comfort and confidence.
Knee Replacement Procedure
Detailed medical history, physical examination, and imaging tests (X-rays/MRI). Assessment of overall health to ensure the patient is fit for surgery. Discussion of implant types, expected outcomes, and rehabilitation plan.
The surgery is usually performed under spinal or general anesthesia. The anesthesiologist ensures patient comfort and monitors vital functions throughout the procedure.
A surgical incision (typically 6–10 inches) is made over the knee. The surgeon carefully moves aside the kneecap and prepares the joint for replacement.
Worn-out or diseased portions of the femur, tibia, and sometimes patella are removed. Precise surgical instruments shape the bone surfaces for implant placement.
Artificial components made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics, or ceramics are positioned. Cemented or uncemented fixation is chosen based on patient requirements.
The underside of the kneecap may be resurfaced with a plastic component to ensure smoother joint movement.
The surgeon tests the implant for stability, mobility, and alignment before final fixation.
The permanent implant is fixed securely. Soft tissues are stitched back, and the incision is closed with sutures or staples.
A drain may be placed temporarily to remove excess fluids. A sterile dressing is applied, and the leg may be supported with a brace.
