Knee Replacement (click for worldwide facilities list): Primary knee replacement is the established treatment for severe osteoarthritis and select degenerative conditions of the knee. The goals of knee replacement are restoration of a functional range of motion for walking and stair climbing, pain-free ambulation, stability, and a return to moderate recreational activities.
Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is the treatment of choice in a severely affected knee joint in which both the articular surfaces of the tibial and the femur surfaces are severely destroyed due to osteoarthritis or other types of arthritis. During knee replacement, a surgeon cuts away damaged bone and cartilage from your thighbone, shinbone and kneecap and replaces it with an artificial joint (prosthesis) made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics and polymers. A precisely and accurately replaced knee joint can work well beyond 10-15 years.
Arthritis is a condition in which the smooth gliding surfaces of your knee joint (articular cartilage) have become damaged. This usually results in pain, stiffness and reduced flexibility. The most common type of arthritis, Osteoarthritis, typically develops in older patients due to a lifetime of wear and tear, which results in abnormal joint reaction forces in the musculoskeletal system.
Other forms of arthritis, which may lead to total knee replacement:
- Post-Traumatic Arthritis develops as a result of an injury, such as a fracture that doesn’t heal properly.
- Rheumatoid or Inflammatory Arthritis results from an inflammatory condition or autoimmune disease.
- Osteonecrosis patients may develop arthritis rather unexpectedly, resulting in a sudden onset of pain in the knee.
The day after surgery, a physical therapist shows you how to exercise your new knee. To help regain movement, you may use a device called a continuous passive motion machine, which slowly moves your knee while you're in bed.
During the first few weeks after surgery, you're more likely to experience a good recovery if you follow all of your surgeon's instructions concerning wound care, diet and exercise.
