Knee Replacement Surgery in Hyderabad: Advanced Orthopedic Care at Lux Hospitals
Joint pain can be debilitating, mainly when it affects the knees—one of the most essential weight-bearing joints in the body. Knee replacement surgery in Hyderabad at Lux Hospitals can help you regain your mobility and confidence if you’re dealing with persistent knee pain that reduces your range of motion and lowers your quality of life. Our orthopedic specialists provide individualized care and cutting-edge methods, such as robotic knee replacement surgery, to guarantee a quicker and easier recovery.
What is Knee Replacement Surgery?
A surgical procedure called knee replacement surgery, or arthroplasty, involves replacing a worn-out or injured knee joint with an artificial implant. This procedure is usually recommended in cases where medication, physical therapy, or other conservative measures don’t heal knee pain and mobility issues.
We at Lux Hospitals provide proficiency in various procedures, including total knee replacement and minimally invasive robotic procedures, that yield better outcomes and an additional element of precision.
Common Reasons for Knee Replacement
- If your everyday activities are hampered by severe knee pain or stiffness.
- You could benefit from knee replacement surgery in Hyderabad.
- Chronic inflammation and swelling that doesn’t improve with rest or medication.
- Knee deformities such as bowing in or out
- Limited range of motion
- Reduced quality of life due to joint pain
Diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or traumatic injury frequently bring on these symptoms.
Diagnosis and Preparation for Knee Replacement Surgery
The best results from knee replacement surgery depend on a complete diagnosis and preparation. You should expect the following at this point:
Diagnosis
A proper diagnosis starts with a consultation with one of our orthopedic surgeons, who will assess your medical history and symptoms. The following diagnostic tools are typically used to determine the extent of the knee damage:
- Physical Examination: The surgeon will check your knee’s range of motion, stability, and strength.
- X-rays: X-rays evaluate the degree of damage to your knee joint and determine whether a total knee replacement is necessary.
- MRI/CT Scans: In some cases, detailed imaging scans may be ordered to assess soft tissue damage and joint alignment.
- Blood Tests: These identify long-term issues that could impact the process, like infections.
Pre-Surgery Preparation
Once a diagnosis is made, proper preparation ensures the best surgical outcome:
- Medication Review: Certain medications, such as blood thinners, may need to be paused before surgery to reduce the risk of bleeding.
- Weight Management: Losing excess weight can help reduce stress on the knee joint, which is crucial for the implant’s long-term success.
- Physiotherapy: Preoperative physiotherapy is often recommended to strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve flexibility.
- Anesthesia Consultation: Our anesthesiologist will discuss your general or spinal anaesthesia options based on your health status and preferences.
- Post-Operative Planning: We ensure that a proper post-surgery recovery plan, including physiotherapy, is in place to help you recover quickly.
Types of Knee Replacement Surgery
- Total Knee Replacement
In a total knee replacement, the damaged surfaces of the thigh bone, shin bone, and kneecap are replaced with artificial components. This is the most common knee replacement procedure and provides long-lasting relief.
- Partial Knee Replacement
This procedure replaces only the damaged knee portion, preserving as much of your natural joint as possible. It’s suitable for patients with damage limited to a specific knee area.
- Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery
At Lux Hospitals, we offer robotic knee replacement surgery in Hyderabad. This state-of-the-art procedure uses robotic assistance for enhanced accuracy. This technique ensures better alignment, reduced pain, and quicker recovery than traditional methods.
Detailed Procedure of Knee Replacement Surgery
Here’s an in-depth look at the knee replacement surgery procedure:
- Preoperative Stage
Before surgery begins, the surgical site is carefully cleaned and sterilized sterilized to prevent infection. You will be positioned comfortably on the operating table, and anesthesia will be administered. Our experienced orthopedic team ensures you’re relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure.
- Incision
Depending on the type of knee replacement, an incision is made on the front of the knee, either through a traditional or minimally invasive approach. The incision is smaller for robotic surgeries, and the robotic arm helps the surgeon remove damaged joint surfaces more precisely.
- Resection of Damaged Bone
The femur, tibia, and patella are carefully dissected to remove the injured bone and cartilage. This guarantees a proper fit for the prosthesis and restores normal knee function.
- Implant Placement
Once the bone has been prepared, the metal, plastic, or ceramic artificial parts are inserted into it. In a total knee replacement, the patella, tibia, and femur are replaced with three components. With partial replacements, only the damaged portion is changed.
- Testing the Knee
The surgeon ensures the implant works properly by testing the knee’s alignment and range of motion. If necessary, modifications are made to guarantee the best outcomes.
- Wound Closure
Staples or stitches are used to seal the incision, and the knee is bandaged. In some cases, a drain may be temporarily inserted to prevent fluid buildup.
Knee Replacement Surgery Recovery
- Walking Support: Supported walking in 24-48 hours post-surgery.
- Physical Therapy: To regain mobility, flexibility, and knee strength.
- Physiotherapy sessions for maximum recuperation.
- Dietary advice for a helpful diet to aid healing.
- Follow-ups occasionally to monitor progress and modify treatment if necessary.
Comprehensive Care: 24-hour round-the-clock care by Lux Hospitals ensures ease of recuperation and a hassle-free experience.
