Knee pain holding you back? Knee replacement surgery can be a game-changer! At Sanjeevni Plus Hospital, we specialize in helping people just like you regain their mobility and live pain-free.
Why Knee Replacement?
This surgery is a great option for folks with severe knee pain, especially from arthritis. Arthritis wears down the cartilage in your knee, making it stiff, painful, and hard to move. If simple activities like walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair are a struggle, knee replacement might be the answer.
Our expert team at Sanjeevni Plus Hospital understands how knee pain disrupts your life. We use advanced X-rays and other tools to examine your knee and determine the best type of replacement for you.
Types of Knee Replacement
There are two main types:
- Partial Knee Replacement: If only part of your knee is damaged, this option replaces just that area.
- Total Knee Replacement: When the entire joint is worn out, this surgery replaces the whole thing with artificial parts made of metal and plastic.
We tailor the approach to your specific needs, considering things like your age, weight, activity level, and overall health.
Getting Ready for Surgery-
Being prepared is key! Before your surgery, our team will give you specific instructions about what to eat and drink, and any medications to stop taking. It’s important to follow these closely to minimize risks.
You can also make your home recovery-friendly. Get crutches or a walker if needed, and arrange for someone to drive your home. Removing tripping hazards like loose rugs and creating a living space on one floor can also help.
What to Expect During Surgery-
The surgery is usually done with either spinal block (numbs lower body) or general anaesthesia (puts you to sleep). Our skilled surgeons will make an incision, remove damaged bone and cartilage, and carefully insert the replacement parts. It typically takes 1-2 hours. Afterwards, you’ll rest in a recovery area and might even go home the same day!
Recovery After Surgery-
Recovery involves key steps to prevent complications and promote healing. We’ll be there every step of the way:
- Preventing Blood Clots: Early movement is important. You’ll be encouraged to use crutches or a walker as soon as possible. We might also use compression stockings or special sleeves to keep blood flowing in your legs.
- Medication and Monitoring: You might need blood thinners to prevent clots. We’ll monitor you closely and adjust your treatment as needed.
- Physical Therapy: This is crucial for a successful recovery. Our therapists will guide you through exercises to strengthen and improve the flexibility of your new knee. This personalized plan helps you regain mobility and get back to your daily activities faster.
