TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY IN Delhi NCR

Knee replacement surgery, medically called arthroplasty, is the recovery of damaged cartilage or cushions in the joints due to ageing, osteoporosis, etc. Damaged parts are replaced by artificially made joints called a prosthesis, usually made of metals or alloys. After knee replacement surgery, joints get to recover and ease movement as well. It gives relief from pain that happens due to the damaged areas in bones.

Types of Knee Replacement Surgery

There are two major types of knee replacement surgery.

1. Total Knee Replacement Surgery
2. Partial Knee Replacement Surgery

Total Knee Replacement Surgery

Total knee replacement surgery is the procedure that involves covering the under the zone of the knee i.e patella, with artificial material like a plastic dome. This is a complicated procedure where the perseverance of the original patella is a priority for the doctors during surgery. People with high deformities in bones and joints with severe pain have more chances to undergo this surgery. Metal or alloy-based support is also used in total knee replacement surgery.

Partial Knee Replacement Surgery 

Partial knee replacement surgery is also known as unicompartmental knee surgery. This surgery is used when arthritis has damaged only one side of the knee or a portion. Such surgeries are done on specific damaged zones of the knee. In this type of knee replacement surgery, there are very low chances of complications, and it mostly recovers quickly and heals wounds faster. It involves fewer chances in the knee’s basic pattern, but on the other hand, it is more complicated than the total knee replacement as it can result in further revision of the knee in the future.
