The procedure of knee replacement surgery?


 Introduction

Knee replacement consists of portions of bones that make the knee joint, which are removed and replaced with artificial implants. It is a complex process. It is performed mainly to relieve knee pain and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis. Most people are worried about the surgery, so they opt for another option, which is physiotherapy. Still, it is also not helping, so knee replacement surgery is the first and the last option.

Types of knee replacement surgery?

  • Total knee replacement

  • Partial knee replacements

Is anaesthesia used in a knee replacement?

Most total knee replacements are performed under regional anaesthesia. It is called an epidural block, which is the same kind of anaesthesia given to women in labour.

Conclusion

After knee replacement surgery, a patient can walk with a walker or crutches within two or three days. The distance of walking will increase as the days progress. Knee replacement is complete for the disabled or a person suffering from a lot of pain.
