Total Knee Replacement, also known as total knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to address severe knee joint damage caused by conditions such as arthritis or injury. During the procedure, the damaged joint surfaces are replaced with artificial components, restoring function and reducing pain. Dr. Ankur Singh, an experienced orthopedic surgeon in Noida, specializes in performing Total Knee Replacement surgeries, providing effective solutions for patients seeking relief from knee joint issues.
Osteoarthritis: The primary underlying cause of TKR is osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint condition that leads to muscular atrophy.
Arthritis: Inflammation of the knee joint, as well as other joints in the body.
Posttraumatic arthritis: Arthritis that develops following a severe knee injury or fracture.
Other conditions: Certain soft tissue ailments, knee deformities, and specific types of tumors may necessitate TKR.
Prior to a total knee replacement, patients undergo a thorough assessment at an orthopedic clinic. This evaluation includes a physical examination, imaging scans such as X-rays and MRI, and a review of the patient’s medical history. These steps are essential in determining the patient’s suitability for surgery and planning the surgical procedure accordingly.
The total knee replacement surgery is performed under either general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia. A surgical incision is made above the knee to gain access to the joint.
The damaged parts of the hip and thigh bones are then removed and reconstructed to enhance the function of the prosthetic joint. The orthopedic implants, typically made of metal and plastic, are securely attached to the repaired bones. After the completion of the procedure, the incision is carefully closed, and the knee joint is thoroughly inspected for proper alignment and function.
