Does Your Hospital Offer Knee Replacement Surgery?

Hello,

Knee replacement, also known as arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged knee joint with an artificial joint (prosthesis) made of metal and plastic.

Yes, knee replacement surgery is available at many of HexaHealth's partner hospitals across India. We can help you connect with experienced orthopaedic and joint replacement surgeons who specialize in treating severe knee pain, arthritis, and joint damage through advanced knee replacement procedures.

Please share your city and state, and let us know if the doctor has recommended total knee replacement or partial knee replacement, so that we can suggest suitable hospitals and specialists near you.

Common Symptoms Indicating the Need for Knee Replacement

• Severe knee pain that limits daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, or getting in and out of chairs.
  
  
• Persistent knee pain, even while resting or at night.
  
  
• Chronic knee inflammation and swelling that doesn't improve with rest or medications.
  
  
• Knee deformity, such as a bowing in or out of the knee.
  
  
• Failure of other non-surgical treatments to provide adequate relief.

Non-Surgical Management Options

• Physical therapy and exercises to strengthen muscles around the knee.
  
  
• Anti-inflammatory medications to reduce pain and swelling.
  
  
• Injections (such as corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid) into the knee joint.
  
  
• Weight management to reduce stress on the knee.
  
  
• Use of assistive devices like canes or walkers.

Surgical Option :  Knee Replacement

If non-surgical treatments do not relieve severe knee pain, a knee replacement may be recommended. The procedure involves

• Removing the damaged cartilage and bone from the surface of the thigh bone (femur) and shin bone (tibia).
  
  
• Reshaping the ends of these bones.
  
  
• Implanting artificial components (prostheses) to create new joint surfaces.

Types of Knee Replacement

• Total Knee Replacement : Replaces all three compartments of the knee.
  
  
• Partial Knee Replacement : Replaces only the most damaged compartment of the knee, suitable for less extensive damage.

Post-Surgery Recovery and Precautions

• Adhere strictly to post-operative rehabilitation exercises prescribed by your physiotherapist.
  
  
• Manage pain with prescribed medications.
  
  
• Avoid activities that put excessive strain on your new knee, especially in the initial recovery period.
  
  
• Maintain a healthy weight to reduce stress on the joint.
  
  
• Attend all follow-up appointments with your surgeon.
