Be Well Knee Replacement Process

Step - 1
Anaesthesia
The initial step is administering anaesthesia, either as general anaesthesia for unconsciousness or regional anaesthesia (spinal/epidural) for numbing the lower body while the patient is awake. This ensures comfort and pain control during surgery.
Step - 2
Incision
Once the patient is under anaesthesia, the surgeon makes an incision over the knee joint. The size and location of the incision can vary but are usually several inches long and made along the front or side of the knee.
Step - 3
Resection of Damaged Tissues
The damaged and diseased portions of the knee joint are then carefully removed. This includes the damaged cartilage, bone, and any debris that might have accumulated within the joint. The goal is to prepare the joint for the implant components.
Step - 4
Implant Placement
The next step is placing artificial knee components: a metal femoral, a metal/plastic tibial, and optionally a plastic patellar component. These are fixed with bone cement or press-fit techniques promoting bone growth into the implants.
Step - 5
Alignment and Testing
Once the components are in place, the surgeon checks the alignment and function of the new joint. This step is crucial to ensure that the knee joint will function properly, providing stability and a good range of motion.
Step - 6
Closure and Postoperative Care
Once verified, alignment and functionality, the incision is closed using sutures or staples. Postoperative care includes wound care, pain management, and vital physical therapy for restoring strength, flexibility, and proper mobility.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are here to help you with all your questions and provide answers.
TKR is typically recommended when non-surgical treatments such as medication, physical therapy, or assistive devices no longer provide adequate relief from knee pain and dysfunction caused by conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis.
The potential benefits of TKR include significant reduction or elimination of knee pain, improved knee function and mobility, enhanced quality of life, increased ability to perform daily activities, and the potential for a more active lifestyle.
The duration of TKR surgery varies, but it typically takes around 1 to 2 hours to complete. However, the specific time can depend on various factors, including the complexity of the case and the surgeon’s experience.
The recovery timeline after TKR surgery varies among individuals, but most patients can expect to start walking with the help of a walker or crutches on the day of or day after surgery. Physical therapy and rehabilitation are typically prescribed to help regain strength and mobility, with a gradual return to normal activities within a few weeks to a few months.
Pain management after TKR surgery typically involves a combination of medications, including pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and, in some cases, local anaesthesia or nerve blocks. Physical therapy, ice packs, and elevation of the leg may also help manage pain and swelling.

Know More About Knee Replacement Surgery

What is Knee Replacement?
Knee replacement is a surgical procedure where a damaged knee joint is replaced with artificial components, typically due to severe arthritis or injury. The procedure aims to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance the overall quality of life for individuals with compromised knee function. The damaged portions of the joint are removed and replaced with metal and plastic implants designed to replicate natural joint movement. Knee replacement can be either partial (limited to a specific compartment) or total (involving the entire joint), depending on the extent of joint damage.
Total Knee Replacement
Total Knee Replacement, also known as total knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves the complete removal of the damaged knee joint surfaces and their replacement with artificial components made of metal, plastic, and/or ceramic. This procedure is typically performed to alleviate severe pain and restore function in cases of advanced osteoarthritis or other knee conditions that have not responded to conservative treatments.
Partial Knee Replacement
Partial Knee Replacement, or unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, is a surgical intervention wherein only the damaged portion of the knee joint is replaced with artificial components. It is suitable for cases where the damage is limited to a specific compartment of the knee, often caused by osteoarthritis. This procedure aims to preserve healthy bone and tissue while providing relief from pain and improving joint function, with a potentially shorter recovery period compared to total knee replacement.
Diagnosis Measures
Diagnostic measures for knee replacement typically involve a combination of clinical assessments and imaging studies. Physicians evaluate the patient’s medical history, conduct a thorough physical examination, and assess the range of motion and joint stability. X-rays are commonly used to visualize joint damage, bone alignment, and cartilage loss. MRI scans provide detailed images of soft tissues, helping to assess ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. In some cases, joint fluid analysis might be performed to rule out infections or other underlying issues. Based on these diagnostic findings, a healthcare provider can determine the necessity and appropriateness of knee replacement surgery.
Risks and Complications
While knee replacement surgery is generally safe and successful, there are potential risks and complications associated with the procedure. These include infection at the surgical site, blood clots forming in the legs (deep vein thrombosis) or lungs (pulmonary embolism), bleeding, nerve or blood vessel damage, joint stiffness, allergic reactions to anesthesia or implant materials, and implant failure or loosening over time. Additionally, there is a risk of persistent pain, limited range of motion, or dissatisfaction with the results. To mitigate these risks, thorough preoperative assessments, adherence to postoperative care instructions, and close medical follow-up are crucial.
