What is Knee Replacement Surgery?
Our best knee replacement surgeon in Ahmedabad removes the injured bone and cartilage in the knee including the ends of the thigh and shin bones. An artificial joint in the form of a good knee is then substituted on the worn out surface. The implant consists of a robust metal and medical plastic and it functions as a new smooth joint and prevents the rubbing of bones against the bone. This surgery is aimed at restoring the functioning of your knee to enable you to lead a life free of pain.


When Should You Consider Knee Replacement?
The knee replacement is a surgical procedure that is considered if all the conservative management options do not relieve the pain and symptoms. The symptoms become so severe and crippling that even performing daily routines becomes difficult.
- Persistent Pain and Swelling: The first and most evident symptom is the inability to perform what you usually do, like walking or going up the stairs. It results in stiffness, also limiting the movement range.
- Osteoarthritis: This is the most prevalent one. It occurs when the cartilage becomes degenerated due to normal wear related to age.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: This is an autoimmune condition that causes attack and destruction of the joints.
- Post-traumatic Arthritis: This may occur many years following a severe knee injury such as a car accident, a fall, or even a sporting injury. It brings about chronic pains and inflammation.
In case these conditions lead to a permanent damage, the knee replacement can restore your mobility and enable you to live without pain.

Advantages of Knee Replacement Surgery
Long-Term Joint Resilience
Knee implants can last between 15 - 30 years, depending on the type of implant. They contribute to reducing pain, improving movement, and providing a dependable long-term solution that makes your life better.
Corrected Leg Alignment
Knee replacement also corrects the deformed angles and makes the joint straight to balance the weight, which is then evenly distributed. It prevents the excessive stress of other body parts.
Less Medication Addiction.
In case of successful surgery, the use of pain medication and anti-inflammatories can be reduced. This reduces side effects and achieves long-term health by reducing drug use.
General Health Promotion.
You are able to move more easily. This helps to check weight, a healthier heart, and stronger bones as well as improve fitness as a whole in case you do it regularly.
Improves Overall Systemic Health
Replacing an arthritic joint helps patients regain mobility and become more active, which enhances overall body health, aids in managing chronic diseases, and promotes long-term physical balance and recovery.
