Your knee joint is made up by the lower end of your
thigh bone (femur) and the upper end of your shin
bone (tibia). These normally glide over each other
easily because they are covered by smooth cartilage. If
your cartilage is damaged by injury or worn away by
arthritis, it can make your joint painful and stiff . A
new knee joint will usually improve your mobility and
reduce pain, although your new knee won’t be able to
bend quite as far as a normal knee joint.
Knee Replacement Surgeries and Technique at World Best
Hospitals in India
Depending on the condition of your knee joint, you may need to have part, or all, of your
knee joint replaced. If you have arthritis just in one area of your knee joint, usually the inside
part of the joint called the medial compartment, you may be offered a partial knee
replacement (called a unicondylar knee replacement).

There are two main types of surgery, depending on the
condition of the knee:

joint are replaced
• Partial (half) Knee Replacement (PKR) – only one side of
your joint is replaced in a smaller operation with a shorter
hospital stay and recovery period

When is knee replacement surgery recommended ?
Knee surgery is recommended for older people, although adults or teenagers of any age
can be candidates for the procedure, since they are physically active and will more
rapidly wear the joint out. The weight, gender, or age of the person is never a factor
when considering knee replacement surgery. When considering the option of knee
replacement surgery, doctors take into account a number of symptoms:
• Severe knee pain or stiffness: Do symptoms seriously undermine the patient's ability
to carry out everyday tasks and activities, such as walking, going upstairs, getting in
and out of cars, getting up from a chair, etc?
• Moderate but continuous knee pain: Is pain present while sleeping or resting?
• Chronic knee inflammation and swelling: Does the swelling not improve after taking
medications or resting? Do drugs cause unpleasant side effects?
• Knee deformity: Is there is a noticeable arch in the inside or outside of the knee?
• Nothing else worked: The doctor has prescribed medications and physical therapy
without any substantial improvement.

Knee Replacement Surgeries and Techniques Available at
MedWorld India :
• Total Knee Replacement : Also called total knee arthroplasty, this surgery is for people
who have extensive damage in several parts of their knee. The surgeon removes the
diseased cartilage, as well as some of the underlying bone, and then fuses an artificial
joint to the bone that remains.
• Partial Knee Replacement : If the cartilage in just one of the knee's sections becomes
damaged, Mayo Clinic surgeons can sometimes replace just the damaged section
instead of the whole knee joint. Recovery is easier than with total knee replacement,
but the results may not last as long, because arthritis could develop in other areas of
the knee.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery : Minimally invasive techniques allow surgeons to replace
a knee using smaller incisions. This usually results in less pain and a quicker recovery.
• Bilateral Knee Replacement : Having both knees replaced at once can reduce the
overall time spent in rehabilitation following surgery, but it's not recommended for
some people, such as those with heart or lung disease.
