Knee Replacement Surgery

Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a highly effective procedure designed to relieve severe pain and restore function in patients with damaged knee joints. This surgery is often recommended for individuals suffering from advanced arthritis or significant injury that has led to the deterioration of the knee's cartilage and bone.

During the procedure, the damaged surfaces of the knee are replaced with prosthetic components made of metal and plastic, meticulously designed to mimic the natural movement of the knee. Performed by skilled orthopedic surgeons, knee replacement surgery not only alleviates chronic pain but also enhances mobility and overall quality of life.

Our comprehensive care approach includes thorough pre-operative evaluations, state-of-the-art surgical techniques, and personalized post-operative rehabilitation plans, ensuring a smooth recovery and a swift return to daily activities and an active lifestyle.
