When is knee replacement surgery done?
Knee pain is common among elders. Arthritis is often the cause of the pain and for some, it may reach the level where they will need knee replacement surgery.
Types of knee replacement surgery There are two main types of knee replacement surgery – Mechanical alignment and kinematic alignment.
✅ In mechanical alignment surgery, the orthopaedics doing the surgery will release the ligament in the knee. There are some side effects associated with mechanical alignment surgery. It includes unexplained stiffness of the knee, pain while walking, feeling of loose knee and extra time for rehabilitation after surgery. ✅In kinematic alignment, the orthopaedic surgeon will align the knee in the exact position that it was before the deterioration began. The advantage here is that in this surgery ligament will be preserved. The arthritis will be addressed and then the prosthesis will be fixed. This will help you get back the range of movements very soon after the surgery. Within 3-6 days after the surgery, you can go home with full recovery without any support from the walkers.
