When your knee is completely damaged due to Osteoarthritis or age-related factors, you may find it difficult to do even the daily regular activities. For example, you may start experiencing pain while walking, climbing, lying down, or standing. It may also happen that medications and physiotherapy sessions prove to be ineffective. In such cases, getting a Knee Replacement surgery in Dubai can help you get your daily life back on track.
Knee Replacement or Arthroplasty surgery is quite a common knee surgery that has been around for more than 30 years. This procedure aids in relieving pain and restoring regular knee movements.
In a Knee Replacement surgery, the damaged bones and cartilage are separated from the Shinbone, Thighbone and Kneecap and replaced with an artificial implant (prosthesis) made of polymers and metal alloys.
When it comes to knee replacement surgery, Dr. Rik Kundra thoroughly assesses your knee and condition to ascertain whether a Knee Replacement is required or not. Many factors will affect the choice of prosthesis to be used including age, body weight, activity level, knee shape, size and history of previous knee injury/surgery.
