Get Back to Your Daily Activities Without Any Pain

Knee Replacement is a surgical procedure to replace the weight-bearing surfaces of the knee joint to relieve pain and disability. Knee replacement surgery can be performed as a partial or a total knee replacement. In general, the surgery consists of replacing the diseased or damaged joint surfaces of the knee with metal and plastic components shaped to allow continued motion of the knee.

When is knee replacement recommended?

• Severe knee pain is experienced that limits your everyday activities, such dressing, bathing, getting out of bed or a chair, or climbing stairs.
• Knee stiffness
• Moderate or severe knee pain while you are resting, day or night
• Long-lasting knee inflammation and swelling that doesn’t get better with rest or medications

What are the risks and complications in knee replacement?

The most serious complication is infection of the joint, which occurs in <1% of patients. Risk factors for infection are related to both patient and surgical factors.

The knee at times may not recover its normal range of motion (0–135 degrees usually) after total knee replacement. Much of this is dependent on pre-operative function. Most patients can move up to 0–110 degrees, but stiffness of the joint can also occur. In some situations, manipulation of the knee under anesthetic is used to reduce post-operative stiffness. Nowadays there are also many implants from manufacturers that are designed to be "high-flexible" knees, offering more range of motion to your knees.

How long it takes to recover after knee replacement surgery?

You will able to resume normal leisure activities within six weeks after surgery. However, it may take up to three months for pain and swelling to settle down.

Does Knee Pain Interfere in Your Daily Life ?

Knee Replacement is the most common orthopedic operation. The damaged part is removed and replaced with artificial prostheses. The three sections of the knee are medial, lateral, and compartment. Damage to the cartilages that cover the joint surfaces is caused by many factors such as inflammatory arthritis, osteoarthritis, etc. When all the three parts are removed due to the damages, it is termed as a Total knee replacement surgery.

Procedure of knee joint replacement

Knee replacement is done under general or epidural anesthesia. General anesthesia totally wipes off the memories of the patient during operation and they can recall nothing. The epidural anesthesia becomes numb from the waist to the ankle. The patients will be able to see or hear everything as it is a local anesthesia offering a numb sensation to the knee.

The type of anesthesia which is administered to the patient depends on the patient’s condition and the anesthetist’s decision. Incisions are made on the knee joint to access the internal part of the knee. The damaged cartilage and bones are removed which is followed by artificial implantation.

The knee prosthesis contains femoral, tibial, and patellar components. Variation depends on the manufacturer. Or a maximum of 10-15 years, the artificial joints can last with limited physical activity, especially to the knee.

Total Knee Replacement is done when the medication, physiotherapy, and knee pads do not have an effect at all. This surgery involves the replacement of all the three components and implanting prosthesis in order to reduce pain and improve the functioning of the joints.

As a preventing measure, blood thinning drugs and stockings are provided. After the surgery, physiotherapy helps the patient rehabilitate.

Hip Replacement Surgery in Delhi

Hip is a stable joint of the human body which comprises of the ball end of femur bone movable in the pelvic bone socket. The ball end of the femur is termed as femoral head and socket present in the pelvis is termed as acetabulum. Synovial fluid is present in the Hip Joint which acts as lubrication to the joint nourishing the cartilage. If the soft tissues present in the hip joint are strained, it may lead to severe pain in the hip joint. If it is less severe, it can be cured using certain medicines and self-help exercises. But if the pain is severe then it is suggestible to consult a doctor for treatment. 

On examining by suitable tests like CT scan, X-Ray, and MRI scan, the doctor may suggest you for a hip replacement surgery if the pain is severe and intolerable. Hip replacement surgery involves a procedure in which the doctor surgically removes the diseased or damaged hip joint and replaces it with an artificial joint which is termed as the prosthesis. This artificial joint is made up of a metal or ceramic enabled with a socket and has a liner which is made of metal or plastic. ‘Hip Replacement Surgery’ is recommended only in case of diseased or injured parts of the hip joint and are replaces using artificial parts made of metal or plastic. The main aim of this surgery is to ease the pain in the hip joint, assist in the smooth function of the hip joint and to improve walking and other movements.

What can you expect after Hip Replacement Surgery?

After hip replacement surgery, there is a scope for some common problems like blood clots, infection, bone growth beyond the normal limit etc. Though all these risk chances are low after hip replacement surgery compared to before surgery, a little care should be taken to avoid these risks. Physical therapy plays a significant role in this process. Most of them will be able to stand and walk within 24 hours after the operation but also they are suggested to go for some exercises related to muscles surrounding the hip joint. This entire process is named as rehabilitation process which helps to regain the strength and motion.

Though it gets normal within 24 hours, the only limited movement is available for few days after hip replacement surgery. At the initial stage, your hip will be supported by pillows and other suitable devices. You will be given fluids as a substitute to the fluid loss during the surgery. After going for rehabilitation process for some days, you will become normal and most probably you will be recovered in 3-6 months.
