Knee Replacement Surgery Islamabad: Move Better. Feel Better. Live Better.
Knee arthroplasty is a process that is intended to completely or partially substitute the injured or torn part of the knee with manufactured components.

Types of Knee Replacement:
The knee replacement can be done in two ways.
- Partial Knee Replacement:
It is an approach in which only the damaged cartilage is substituted with an unnatural knee.
- Total Knee Replacement:
A process of replacing the whole knee joint with a plastic or metal implant to eliminate the discomfort and pain.
Causes of Acute Knee Pain:

- Knee deformity
- Injuries and Trauma
- Bone disorders

Surgical Method for Knee Replacement: Detailed Steps:
The approach of partial or complete knee replacement typically involves the following steps;
Preparation:
The process might be a little discomforting, so a local or regional anesthesia is administered to numb the part.
Opening & Exposure:
An opening is created in the midline, and the muscles are separated to expose the joint.
Damaged Bone Removal:
The defective area in the knee that is causing unease will be released.
Implant Insertion:
The bone is prepared and reshaped in such a way that it can fit the newly made implants. There will be two types of implant insertions:;
Femoral Implants:
A metal component is attached to the ends of the hip joint and thigh bone.
Plastic Components:
A synthetic implant is fixed above the shin bone between the metal components to create a smooth surface.
Verification:
The inserted elements are then checked for stability, activity, and correct positioning to check that the artificial knee is functional.
Process Termination:
Once the insertion is done and inspected for mobility, the opening will be closed with the help of stitches, and a dressing will be applied.
