Knee replacement surgery (knee arthroplasty) is a highly effective procedure designed to relieve chronic knee pain and restore joint function. It involves replacing damaged or worn-out parts of the knee joint with artificial implants, helping patients regain mobility and improve their quality of life.

At the clinic of Dr. Jitendra Aloria, patients receive expert orthopedic care for bone, joint, and muscle conditions, with a focus on accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment for faster recovery and long-term relief.

When is Knee Replacement Needed?

Knee replacement is recommended when non-surgical treatments such as medications, injections, or physiotherapy no longer provide relief. It is commonly advised for:

• Severe osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
• Chronic knee pain and stiffness
• Difficulty in walking, climbing stairs, or performing daily activities
• Knee deformity or joint damage
• Injury-related joint degeneration

Types of Knee Replacement

• Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Entire knee joint is replaced
• Partial Knee Replacement (PKR): Only the damaged portion is replaced
• Revision Knee Replacement: Replacement of a previously implanted joint

Benefits of Knee Replacement Surgery

• Significant reduction in pain
• Improved mobility and joint function
• Long-lasting and reliable results
• Better quality of life
• Easier performance of daily activities

Knee replacement surgery is performed using advanced surgical techniques:

1. Damaged cartilage and bone are removed

3. Artificial components are placed to restore function
4. The knee is aligned for smooth and stable movement

The procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the condition.
