  1. Knee Replacement Surgery in India • Knee replacement surgery — also known astotal knee arthroplasty can help relieve pain and restore function in severely diseased knee joints. During knee replacement, a surgeon cuts away damaged bone and cartilage from your thighbone, shinbone and kneecap and replaces it with an artificial joint (prosthesis) made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics and polymers.

  2. Why Knee Replacement is done • A knee replacement can decrease pain and disability in people with knee problems caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and other degenerative conditions, such as avascular necrosis — a condition in which obstructed blood flow causes your bone tissue to die.

  3. During knee replacement surgery  • On the day of surgery, your doctor attaches several monitors to your body to help make sure that your heart rate, blood pressure and blood-oxygen levels stay at safe levels throughout the procedure. These monitors may include a blood pressure cuff on your arm and heart-monitor leads stuck to your chest.

  4. After knee replacement surgery • After surgery, you're wheeled to a recovery room for one to two hours. You're then moved to your hospital room, where you typically stay for several days before going home. You may feel some pain, but nerve blocks and medications prescribed by your doctor will help control it. • During the hospital stay, you're encouraged to move your foot and ankle, which increases blood flow to your leg muscles and helps prevent swelling and blood clots. You may need to receive blood thinners and wear support hose or compression boots to further protect against swelling and clotting. 

  5. Knee replacement may help you if:- • You have pain that limits activities such as walking, climbing stairs and getting in and out of chairs, or you experience moderate or severe knee pain at rest. • You have limited function or mobility, such as chronic knee stiffness and swelling that prevent you from bending and straightening your knee. • You've tried other methods to improve symptoms, for example, resting, weight loss, physical therapy, a cane or other walking aid, medications, braces and surgery, but they've failed.
