Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, involves replacing the worn-out cartilage in the knee joint due to arthritis or injury. The articular cartilage serves as a smooth, shock-absorbing surface for the bones in the knee.
Types of Knee Replacement:
Total Knee Replacement: This procedure replaces all three compartments of the knee and is the most common form of knee replacement.
Partial Knee Replacement: Also called unicompartmental knee replacement, this is performed when damage is limited to one part of the knee.
Single-Stage Bilateral Knee Replacement: Both knees are replaced simultaneously, usually for medically fit patients, to avoid a second anesthesia.
Is Knee Replacement Necessary? Knee replacement is often needed for advanced osteoarthritis, which causes significant pain and limits daily activities like walking and climbing stairs, leading to reduced quality of life. The condition may cause knee instability, leading to falls. Rheumatoid arthritis and post-injury arthritis can also result in the need for this surgery.
What Happens During Knee Replacement Surgery? The surgery is performed under either spinal anesthesia (numbing the legs) or general anesthesia (asleep). This will be discussed with your anesthesiologist. The procedure typically takes one to two hours. Dr. Das will remove damaged cartilage and bone, then place new metal and plastic components to restore proper knee alignment and function. He uses top-quality US or European-imported implants with a proven success record. Post-surgery hospital stays depend on rehabilitation and physiotherapy, with most patients able to walk the same day due to Dr. Das’s Enhanced Recovery Protocol (ERP).
Cost of Knee Replacement Surgery Dr. Das exclusively uses high-quality US and European knee implants with outstanding outcomes and high patient satisfaction. The procedure is available at an affordable package cost, covering surgery, hospital stay, implants, and physiotherapy. Contact us for details on knee replacement packages.
