Indications: Knee joint replacement is considered when conservative treatments such as medication, physical therapy, or injections fail to provide adequate relief from knee pain and dysfunction. Candidates for knee replacement typically experience significant pain, stiffness, swelling, and limited mobility that significantly affects their quality of life and daily activities.

Preparation: Before the surgery, patients undergo a thorough evaluation, including imaging studies such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI to assess the condition of the knee joint and surrounding structures. Patients may also undergo pre-operative tests to evaluate their overall health and fitness for surgery.

Recovery and Rehabilitation:

• After the surgery, patients are monitored closely in the recovery room before being transferred to a hospital room or discharged home.
• Physical therapy is an essential component of recovery, helping patients regain strength, flexibility, and mobility in the operated knee. Rehabilitation typically starts soon after surgery and continues for several weeks to months.
• Patients are instructed to follow specific post-operative guidelines, including activity restrictions, wound care, pain management, and use of assistive devices such as crutches or walkers.
