What is Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee Replacement, or Knee Arthroplasty, is a highly successful surgical procedure designed to relieve severe pain and restore function in diseased knee joints. When cartilage wears away due to arthritis or injury, the bones rub directly against each other, causing immense pain and stiffness.
During the procedure, Dr. Deepak Kumar Arora carefully removes the damaged bone and cartilage from your thigh bone, shin bone, and kneecap. These are then replaced with an artificial joint (prosthesis) made of high-grade metal alloys and specialized medical plastics, allowing the knee to glide smoothly once again.
Life-Changing Benefits
When is it time for Surgery?
Surgery is usually considered when conservative treatments (like medications, injections, and physiotherapy) no longer provide relief. You should consult Dr.Deepak Kumar Arora if you experience:
- Severe Knee Pain: Pain that limits everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or getting in and out of chairs.
- Pain at Rest: Moderate to severe knee pain that persists even while resting or wakes you up during the night.
- Chronic Inflammation: Knee swelling and stiffness that does not improve with rest or medications.
- Bowing of the Leg: A noticeable deformity where the knee bows in or out.
"Many patients delay knee replacement out of fear of pain or prolonged bed rest. With modern pain management protocols and advanced surgical techniques, we have our patients walking the very next day after surgery. It's a truly life-changing procedure."
