What is Knee Replacement Surgery?

Knee Replacement Surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a highly effective surgical procedure aimed at relieving pain and restoring function in severely diseased knee joints.

The procedure involves cutting away damaged bone and cartilage from your thighbone, shinbone, and kneecap and replacing it with an artificial joint (prosthesis) made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics, and polymers.

Knee Anatomy

Symptoms of Knee Replacement Surgery

  • Severe weight-bearing knee pain during walking, standing, or climbing stairs
  • Chronic knee inflammation, warmth, and joint swelling
  • Knee joint stiffness and locking limiting full bending or straightening
  • Visible bowing (bow-legged or knock-knee deformity) of the legs
  • Grinding noise (crepitus) and rest/night pain disturbing sleep

Causes of Knee Replacement Surgery

  • Advanced Osteoarthritis: Wear-and-tear breakdown of knee joint cartilage over time.
  • Rheumatoid & Inflammatory Arthritis: Autoimmune destruction of synovial joint lining.
  • Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Cartilage damage following past fractures, ACL, or meniscus tears.
  • Avascular Necrosis: Loss of blood supply leading to femoral condyle bone collapse.
