Total Knee Replacement is an operation that is mainly done to eliminate the pain coming from a knee joint that has been severely worn out. In this process, the damaged part of the knee is cut off and, instead, an artificial joint is put in.
As knee arthritis progresses, the cushioning of the bone (cartilage) is completely lost, resulting in direct contact between the bones. Consequently, this results in the manifestation of the following symptoms: pain, swelling, rigidity, and complications in walking. Total knee replacement (TKR) is very helpful in alleviating pain and in the recovery of the knee joint's mobility.
If proper physiotherapy is applied, the patients will walk easily and be able to partake in their regular daily activities again.
There are several types of knee replacement operations depending on the level of knee damage. The doctor, after analysis and X-rays, advises the most appropriate type. The most common type performed is total knee replacement.
Selection of the appropriate type of help in the reduction of pain and improving the results.
Typically, the cost of Knee Replacement Surgery in Lucknow starts from ₹2 lakh for a single knee replacement and can cost as high as ₹6.5 lakh for both knees.

Knee replacement surgery involves a sequence of different admissions, X-rays, blood testing, and fitness assessments, being the main ones. On the date of surgery, a local anesthesia is given to keep the patient relaxed, numb, and free of pain during the procedure.
The surgeon makes a small cut on the knee and takes out the part of the joint that is not in good condition. After this, the joint is prepared for a new knee implant. The components of the artificial knee are fixed to the bone, and a plastic spacer is inserted in between to ensure an easy and full range of movements. The alignment and stability of the knee joint are always checked before the cut is stitched.
In general, the surgery lasts between 1 and 2 hours, contingent upon the extent of the joint destruction. Physiotherapy commences immediately after the operation and, in most cases, patients can walk with assistance in 1 to 2 days.

Despite the fact that TKR is a very successful procedure, it is still not suitable for everybody. Some patients may need other treatments or an improvement in their medical condition before resorting to TKR.
In this case, the physician may suggest drugs, injectable therapy, physical therapy, or reduction of body weight as the first line of treatment. To make sure that the treatment is safe and that the best result is achieved, a complete medical evaluation is required before surgery.
Total Knee Replacement is a procedure that brings lasting relief to patients with advanced knee arthritis. The first and foremost advantage is that it enhances the patient's life by making pain less experienced and movement more accessible.
In the case of good aftercare and physiotherapy, most patients become more active and independent after the period of recovery. New generation knee implants have quality, strength, and durability that make them safe for replacement in patients with arthritis needing total joint replacement.
