Knee replacement surgery involves removing damaged or diseased parts of the knee joint and replacing them with an artificial joint made of metal, plastic, or ceramic components. This surgery aims to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall quality of life for individuals who have not found relief through conservative treatments.

The knee replacement surgery typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure.

Most patients can return to normal activities within 6 to 12 weeks, but complete recovery and return to high-impact activities may take up to 6 months.

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks such as infection, blood clots, and prosthesis complications. However, our team takes extensive measures to minimize these risks and ensure a safe procedure.

The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia, depending on the patient’s condition and preference. Our anesthesiologists will discuss the best option for you during the preoperative assessment.

Preparation for knee replacement surgery involves several steps: attending preoperative consultations to review your medical history and discuss the procedure, following any pre-surgery instructions given by your surgeon, arranging for post-surgery care and assistance at home, and preparing for a period of physical therapy to aid in your recovery. Your surgeon will provide detailed instructions to help you prepare effectively.
