Preface

Health has become one of the most talked about topics in the recent years. Over the past few decades there has been a considerable change in one’s lifestyle and a little bit of change in attitude towards life as well. Let us be honest with each other, with age, our body does seem to take a toll and the best that we can do is to to make sure that we are able to recognise the early symptoms and take all the necessary steps and precautions in ensuring that it doesn’t aggravate further. Whenever we talk about knee replacement surgery, the first thing which comes to our mind is the, post-operative pain and of course the scar. But this has changed with the change in medical technology and numerous innovations.

When we talk about the state of the art technology used, we mean Dr.Manit Arora, who is unquestionably the best knee replacement surgeons in Mohali.

So what makes him better than the others. For starters, he believes in the ensuring that everyone is healthy and follows a healthy and a well-balanced life style. He has pioneered the art of knee replacement surgery, let that be a partial or a full knee replacement surgery.

Why Do We Need Knee Replacement Surgery?

Reasons and Symptoms

If your knee is severely damaged by arthritis or any other form of an injury, it may be hard for you to perform simple activities, such as walking or climbing stairs. You may even begin to feel pain while you are sitting or lying down. Kt has been over more than five decades that the knee replacement surgeries have been performed. Total / Partial knee replacements are one of the most successful procedures in all of medicine. 

The most common cause of chronic knee pain and disability is arthritis. Although there are many types of arthritis, most knee pain is caused by just three types: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis.

What Happens in this Surgery?

A knee replacement (also called knee arthroplasty) might be more accurately termed a knee "resurfacing" because only the surface of the bones are replaced.

Do you require a Total Knee Replacement?

The decision to have total knee replacement surgery should be a cooperative one between you, your family, your primary care doctor in this case, Dr.Manit Arora, Best Knee Replacement Surgeons in Mohali, India, and your orthopaedic surgeon.

When Surgery is Recommended

There are several reasons why your doctor may recommend knee replacement surgery. People who benefit from total knee replacement often have:

Severe knee pain or stiffness that limits everyday activities, including walking, climbing stairs, and getting in and out of chairs.  It may be hard to walk more than a few blocks without significant pain and it may be necessary to use a cane or walker

Moderate or severe knee pain while resting, either day or night

Chronic knee inflammation and swelling that does not improve with rest or medications

Knee deformity — a bowing in or out of the knee

Failure to substantially improve with other treatments such as anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections, lubricating injections, physical therapy, or other surgeries

The Day of Surgery

You will either be admitted to the hospital on the day of your surgery or you will go home the same day. The plan to either be admitted or to go home should be discussed with your surgeon prior to your operation.

Your Recovery at Home

The success of your surgery will depend largely on how well you follow your orthopaedic surgeon's instructions at home during the first few weeks after surgery.

Activity

Exercise is a critical component of home care, particularly during the first few weeks after surgery. You should be able to resume most normal activities of daily living within 3 to 6 weeks following surgery. Some pain with activity and at night is common for several weeks after surgery.

To Colclude

A Knee Replacement Surgery is as common as someone getting a Flu. There have been great many strides which have made the procedure relatively easy and are also less invasive.
