Knee Replacements Surgeries

Knee Replacement Surgeon In Pune

Knee replacement surgery is a type of bone surgery in which an orthopaedic surgeon replaces a damaged component of the knee with a metal or plastic prosthetic joint.

Types of Knee Replacement Surgery

  • A partial knee replacement is a procedure in which only one component of the knee is replaced. It can be used to replace the knee cap, lateral, or medial parts of the knee.
  • The surgeon just moves the knee cap aside to reveal the joint in Sub Vastus and Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement. The tissues in front of the thigh extensors are strengthened as a result of this. The stretch damage to the surrounding joints is also reduced since the bones are not separated.
  • Computer Assisted Knee Replacement (CAKR) is a surgery that uses computer technology to help in the procedure. This procedure allows the surgeon to position the patient’s bone and implants with more precision and accuracy.
  • When arthritis affects only one side of the knee, partial knee replacement surgery is performed. It can be done with a smaller incision than Total Replacement Surgery.
  • Revision Knee Replacement: If the prior knee replacement has worn out or has to be replaced, this treatment is required.
  • Constrained or Hinged Knee Replacement: is utilised for severely unstable knees where other forms of prosthesis are unable to hold the ligaments. It’s usually reserved for badly injured knees or older patients who are having revision arthroplasty.
  • Robotic Knee Replacement: This surgical method uses a CT scan to create a 3-D model of the patient’s knee joint, which aids the physician in operation planning. During the surgery, the robotic software assists the surgeon by delivering dynamic information that allows the surgeon to precisely place the implant and improves the process’s precision.
  • Painless or Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement: This surgery avoids cutting the muscles around the joints, which causes less inflammation than the traditional way. As a result, the procedure is painless and the recuperation time is brief.

    • Conditions treated

    Knee replacement surgery can also help with the following issues:

    Osteoarthritis is a disorder in which the cartilage between the knee and the bone joints wears away.
    Rheumatoid Arthritis is a disorder in which the immune system assaults and damages the knee lining.

    Pros

    • Enhanced mobility
    • Pain-free living
    • A higher standard of living.

    Cons

    • Infections or clots in the blood
    • The prosthetic knee won’t perform as well as a normal knee.
    • After some time, the replacement joint may become loose or wear out.
