What is knee joint replacement?
Knee arthroplasty, or knee replacement surgery, can help reduce discomfort and restore function in severely damaged knee joints. Cutting damaged bone and cartilage from your thighbone, shinbone, and kneecap and replacing it with an artificial joint (prosthesis) composed of metal alloys, high-grade resins, and polymers is the process. An orthopaedic surgeon evaluates your knee's range of motion, stability, and strength to see if a knee replacement is suitable for you. X-rays aid in the assessment of the damage. Depending on your age, weight, activity level, knee size, and form, your doctor can pick from a range of knee replacement prostheses and surgical procedures.
What happens during knee joint replacement?
You'll be given anaesthetic right before the operation, Your surgeon will make a large surgical cut above your knee during the operation, which will last between one and two hours. They'll cut away damaged cartilage and bone with the skin and muscle pushed back. They'll attach the replacement knee joint to your femur, or thighbone, and tibia, or lower leg's main bone. They'll use specialised cement, pins, and screws to do this. After that, your surgeon will use stitches to seal the incision wound and apply a bandage. You'll recuperate in a dedicated recovery room where a team will keep an eye on your vital signs.
Recovery
You'll spend one to two days in the hospital. You will be recovering from your anaesthetic as well as the operation during this time. On the first day following surgery, you will be asked to start moving and walking. It will take 4 to 12 months for you to fully recover. After they leave the hospital, some patients require a brief stay in a rehabilitation centre before returning home. You will learn how to conduct your everyday tasks securely on your own at a rehabilitation facility.
Result
Knee replacement gives pain relief, increased mobility, and a higher quality of life for the majority of patients. In addition, most knee replacements are projected to endure at least 15 years. Most daily activities, such as shopping and minor housekeeping, can be resumed three to six weeks after surgery. If you can bend your knee far enough to seat in a car, have adequate muscular control to handle the brakes and accelerator and aren't using narcotic pain medicines, you can drive after three weeks.
