Knee replacement surgery or knee arthroplasty is a safe and effective medical procedure that replaces injured or worn-out parts of your knee joint. Expert orthopaedic surgeons at Sohana Hospital replace damaged bone and cartilage of your knee with high-quality prosthetic implants made of metal and plastic.
The surgery can give you long-term pain relief and make your knees work better. To ensure knee replacement is right for you, our ortho specialists check the range of motion, stability and strength of your knees. X-rays, CT Scans, and other advanced imaging tests available at Sohana Hospital help determine the extent of damage.
Which artificial knee joints and surgical techniques will be right for you depends on several factors, such as your age, weight, activity level, size and shape of your knee, and overall health.
Choose from a Range of Knee Replacement Options at Sohana Orthopaedic Centre
With TKR, the entire knee joint is replaced with an artificial implant. It is an ideal solution if you suffer from severe arthritis or grave injury that has caused extensive damage to your knee.
With PKR, only the damaged part of the knee is replaced. It is an ideal choice if you have localized knee damage, i.e., damage is confined to only one compartment of your knee.
Robotic-assisted knee replacement is the most advanced technique that uses robotic technology. Done through minor cuts, it ensures greater precision, quicker recovery and less pain.
