Knee Replacement

Knee replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure recommended for individuals with knee arthritis or significant injury leading to chronic pain. When non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) fail to provide relief, knee replacement becomes an option to alleviate pain and restore joint function. The procedure involves replacing the damaged or worn-out knee joint surfaces with artificial components, allowing for improved mobility and reduced discomfort.

The primary goal of knee replacement is to free you from persistent pain, enhance your mobility, and ultimately improve your overall quality of life. By replacing the damaged knee joint, the procedure can provide relief from chronic pain, reduce stiffness, and restore joint stability. Knee replacement surgery offers a chance to regain your independence, engage in daily activities with ease, and participate in activities that were once limited by knee pain and dysfunction.

At Electiva, our multidisciplinary team consisting of Consultant Orthopaedic surgeons, Orthopaedic nurses, and Physiotherapists possesses extensive experience in performing knee replacement surgeries. Prior to the procedure, a thorough evaluation of your condition will be conducted, including a review of medical history, physical examination, and imaging tests. During the surgery, the damaged portions of the knee joint are carefully removed, and the artificial joint components are meticulously implanted. Following the procedure, a personalized rehabilitation program will be tailored to your needs, involving physiotherapy and guidance from our expert team to facilitate your recovery process and optimize the outcomes of the knee replacement.

With Electiva’s dedicated team of experienced professionals and their commitment to providing comprehensive care, you can trust that your knee replacement journey will be supported every step of the way, leading you towards a life with reduced pain and improved knee function.

Recovery from knee replacement surgery varies, but most individuals can expect to resume light activities within 4-6 weeks. Full recovery and optimal results may take several months. Following your surgeon’s instructions and engaging in physiotherapy exercises are crucial for regaining strength, flexibility, and mobility. While initial discomfort and swelling are normal, they will gradually subside. Ultimately, knee replacement surgery offers the potential for improved mobility, reduced pain, and a return to an active lifestyle.
