Knee Replacement – Regain Mobility and Live Pain-Free

Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a proven and effective solution for individuals suffering from chronic knee pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility due to arthritis, injury, or degenerative joint conditions. The procedure involves replacing the damaged surfaces of the knee joint with artificial implants to restore pain-free movement and improve quality of life.

Dr. Nandeesh Shashidhar, a leading orthopedic surgeon with over 15 years of experience, specializes in advanced total and partial knee replacement surgeries. His expertise ensures precision, minimal post-operative complications, and faster recovery for patients looking to return to an active lifestyle.

Types of Knee Replacement Surgeries Offered

• Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Complete replacement of all components of the knee joint, ideal for severe arthritis and joint degeneration.

• Partial Knee Replacement: Targeted replacement of the damaged part of the knee, preserving healthy bone and tissue.

• Revision Knee Replacement: Re-surgery to correct or replace a failed or worn-out knee implant from a previous procedure.

• Computer-Assisted Knee Replacement: A technology-driven procedure that ensures precise alignment and implant positioning for optimal outcomes.

When Is Knee Replacement Recommended?

You may be a candidate for knee replacement if you experience:

• Persistent knee pain that limits daily activities

• Swelling and inflammation that doesn’t improve with medications

• Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods

• Knee stiffness and reduced range of motion

• Failure to improve with non-surgical treatments such as physiotherapy or injections

Diagnosis & Evaluation Before Surgery

Dr. Nandeesh follows a thorough evaluation process before recommending surgery, which includes:

• X-rays: To examine joint space, bone deformities, and arthritis severity.

• MRI/CT Scans: To assess soft tissue and cartilage health.

• Blood Work: To rule out infections or inflammatory joint disease.

• Functional Assessment: To understand how knee pain is affecting your day-to-day life.

Non-Surgical Alternatives Considered First

Before surgery is advised, conservative treatments may be recommended:

• Physiotherapy & Exercise Programs

• Anti-inflammatory Medications

• Knee Bracing & Walking Aids

• Intra-articular Injections (e.g., corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid)

If these measures no longer provide relief, knee replacement becomes the best long-term solution.

Advanced Knee Replacement Techniques

• Minimally Invasive Surgery: Smaller incisions with reduced blood loss and quicker healing.

• High-Quality Implants: Designed for long-term durability and natural joint movement.

• Enhanced Recovery Protocols: Promote early mobilization and shorter hospital stays.

Recovery After Knee Replacement

The recovery period varies depending on the procedure and individual health, but most patients experience significant improvement within 6–12 weeks. Recovery involves:

• Early Walking & Weight-Bearing: Usually within 1–2 days post-surgery.

• Pain Management: Through medication and ice therapy.

• Rehabilitation: Supervised physiotherapy to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility.

• Activity Guidelines: Lifestyle modifications to protect your new joint and enhance results.
