Patients who may require knee replacement often experience persistent knee pain even at rest, difficulty in walking or standing for long durations, stiffness in the joint, swelling, and reduced range of motion. In advanced cases, deformity of the knee joint and dependence on support for movement may also be seen. When medications and physiotherapy no longer provide relief, surgery becomes the most effective option.
Knee replacement surgery is a highly effective procedure for relieving severe knee pain and restoring mobility. Dr. Abhishek Kumar Mishra, a trusted orthopedic specialist in Delhi, offers advanced knee replacement treatments designed to help patients return to a pain-free and active lifestyle with improved joint function.
Knee replacement is a surgical procedure in which damaged or worn-out parts of the knee joint are replaced with artificial implants. It is usually recommended when the knee joint is severely affected by arthritis, injury, or degeneration. This condition leads to chronic pain, stiffness, and difficulty in walking, climbing stairs, or performing daily activities, significantly impacting quality of life.
After knee replacement surgery, patients are encouraged to start gentle movement soon after the procedure to support faster recovery. Mild pain, swelling, and stiffness are common initially but gradually improve with proper care. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in strengthening the muscles. Most patients are able to walk with support within a few days and resume normal daily activities within a few weeks, while full recovery may take a few months.
Knee replacement procedures mainly include Total Knee Replacement (TKR), where the entire knee joint is replaced, and Partial Knee Replacement (PKR), where only the damaged portion is replaced. In some cases, revision knee replacement is performed when a previous implant wears out or fails. The choice of procedure depends on the severity of joint damage and patient condition.
