Looking Closely at Total Knee Replacement Surgery

One of the most common health issues faced by individuals above the age of 50 is knee pain due to Osteoarthritis. Knee replacement surgery may be recommended to resolve such issues. The word ‘surgery’ may sound intimidating to many, but there is really nothing to be scared about as long as you have experienced professionals by your side!

What is Knee Replacement Surgery?: Knee replacement surgery is a surgical procedure most often performed to relieve the pain and disability arising out of degenerative arthritis. There are primarily two kinds of knee replacement surgeries – TKR surgery (Total Knee Replacement surgery) and UKR surgery (Unicondylar/Partial Knee Replacement surgery). In this blog, we will look closely at Total knee replacement surgery.

What is Total Knee Replacement Surgery? : In a Total Knee Replacement procedure, the surgeon removes damaged cartilage and bone from the surface of the knee joint and replaces them with metal and plastic implants. In Total Knee Replacement, the surgeon replaces three parts of the knee joint. The two parts of the prosthesis are placed onto the ends of the femur, tibia, and under-surface of the patella using special bone cement. Usually, metal is used on the end of the femur and plastic is used on the tibia and patella for the new knee surface. However, surgeons are now using newer surfaces like metal on metal, and ceramic on ceramic.

Go to the best professionals: Total knee replacement surgery may need to be repeated later if the joint wears out again after several years but with today’s modern advancements most new joints last about 20 years, especially if the surgery is carried out at a reputed hospital like Shalby Hospitals in Ahmedabad – the most trusted and successful knee replacement centre in India. In fact, a truly revolutionary knee replacement surgery procedure called the “Zero Technique” has been invented by Dr. Vikram I. Shah, the founder of Shalby Hospitals. It is a painless 8-10 minute procedure requiring the minimum of medication, surgical time, exposure and hospital stay; helping patients to get back on their feet in no time and of course with minimum stress!

So, if you are suffering from joint pain requiring knee surgery, simply do not worry! – get yourself examined by experienced professionals from a reputed hospital, and opt for the procedure that they recommend. Why suffer in silence when you can rid yourself of the pain painlessly and be back on your knees living life fully as you should be?
