What is Knee Replacement Surgery?

Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a procedure designed to relieve chronic knee pain and restore mobility by replacing damaged joint surfaces with artificial implants. This transformative surgery can significantly enhance your quality of life.

Types of knee replacement surgeries offered at Paras Hospital:

·       Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Replacing the entire knee joint for severe damage.

·       Partial Knee Replacement (PKR): Replacing only the affected portion of the knee to preserve healthy bone and tissue.

Why Knee Replacement Surgery is Done

Knee replacement surgery is often recommended when chronic knee pain, stiffness, or swelling makes everyday activities—like walking, climbing stairs, or even getting in and out of a car—difficult or impossible. The most common cause is osteoarthritis, where the cartilage in the knee joint breaks down over time, leading to bone-on-bone friction and pain. Rheumatoid arthritis can also cause inflammation and joint damage, making it hard to move the knee comfortably.

In some cases, severe knee injuries or trauma, like fractures or torn ligaments, can lead to long-term damage that doesn’t heal well with non-surgical treatments. Additionally, some people may develop knee deformities that affect their ability to move freely.

When pain and stiffness affect your daily life and other treatments like medication or therapy aren't helping, knee replacement surgery can provide lasting relief. It’s not just about reducing pain—it’s about getting you back to the things you enjoy, whether it’s walking with ease or simply moving without discomfort. The surgery can help restore mobility and improve your quality of life, making everyday activities more manageable and less painful.
