  2. DR SIMON THOMAS Introduction: Suffering from knee stiffness and other issues might disrupt your day-to-day chores. Knee replacement surgery could be a successful treatment for severe knee pain and arthritis. The process involves replacing damaged knee joints with artificial components to enhance an individual's working abilities. However, not all knee replacements are the same. The type of knee replacement depends on the extent of damage and the individual patient's needs. NEXT

  3. DR SIMON THOMAS • Total Knee Replacement • A total knee replacement procedure is the most common type of knee replacement. This process involves the replacement of all three parts of the knee joint: the femur (thighbone), tibia (shinbone), and patella (kneecap). TKR is usually recommended for patients with advanced osteoarthritis that affects the entire knee joint. Individuals, after knee replacement surgery, gain back their confidence and their abilities to be able to work uninterrupted. • Benefits: • Significant pain relief • Improved mobility • Better quality of life. • Drawbacks: Longer recovery time compared to other types of knee replacements.

  4. Partial Knee Replacement • Slide 3: Partial Knee Replacement • Unlike TKR, PKR only replaces the damaged portion of the knee joint. This type of knee replacement is suitable for patients with arthritis affecting only one knee compartment. • Benefits: • Less invasive than TKR • Resulting in faster recovery • Smaller incision • And potential for preserving bone • Drawbacks: • Your knee stiffness could return if damaged portion replacement is not done correctly. • It is not suitable for all cases of knee arthritis.

  5. Unicompartmental Knee Replacement • This specialized type of PKR replaces only one specific compartment of the knee joint. This type of knee replacement is designed for patients with isolated arthritis in one part of the knee. • Benefits: • Minimal bone removal • Faster recovery • And the potential for better long-term results compared to traditional PKR. • Drawbacks: Not suitable for all cases of knee arthritis and requires specialized surgical expertise.

  6. Factors Affecting Knee Replacement Choice • The choice of knee replacement might depend on several factors. Some of them are: • Severity and Location of Arthritis: The extent and location of arthritis damage will determine the appropriate type of replacement. • Patient's age, Weight, and Activity level: This helps to understand the type of knee replacement and the surgical approach needed for an individual. • Bone Quality and Alignment: The bone condition and the knee joint's alignment affect the suitability of different replacement options. • Surgeon's Expertise and Recommendations: The surgeon's experience plays a crucial role in selecting the best type of knee replacement for the patient. • Patient's Preferences and Expectations: Experts must consider the patient's goals, lifestyle, and expectations when making an appropriate decision.
