Knee replacement surgery

Knee Replacement Surgery in India

• Knee replacement surgery also known astotal
  knee arthroplasty can help relieve pain and
  restore function in severely diseased knee
  joints. 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.

Why Knee Replacement is done

• A knee replacement can decrease pain and
  disability in people with knee problems caused by
  osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and other
  degenerative conditions, such as avascular
  necrosis a condition in which obstructed blood
  flow causes your bone tissue to die.

During knee replacement surgery 

• On the day of surgery, your doctor attaches
  several monitors to your body to help make sure
  that your heart rate, blood pressure and
  blood-oxygen levels stay at safe levels
  throughout the procedure. These monitors may
  include a blood pressure cuff on your arm and
  heart-monitor leads stuck to your chest.

After knee replacement surgery

• After surgery, you're wheeled to a recovery room
  for one to two hours. You're then moved to your
  hospital room, where you typically stay for
  several days before going home. You may feel some
  pain, but nerve blocks and medications prescribed
  by your doctor will help control it.
• During the hospital stay, you're encouraged to
  move your foot and ankle, which increases blood
  flow to your leg muscles and helps prevent
  swelling and blood clots. You may need to receive
  blood thinners and wear support hose or
  compression boots to further protect against
  swelling and clotting.

Knee replacement may help you if-

• You have pain that limits activities such as
  walking, climbing stairs and getting in and out
  of chairs, or you experience moderate or severe
  knee pain at rest.
• You have limited function or mobility, such as
  chronic knee stiffness and swelling that prevent
  you from bending and straightening your knee.
• You've tried other methods to improve symptoms,
  for example, resting, weight loss, physical
  therapy, a cane or other walking aid,
  medications, braces and surgery, but they've
  failed.
