Knee replacement surgery, also known as total knee replacement or knee arthroplasty, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to resurface the damaged knee. This surgery is suggested by orthopedic surgeons for patients who have severe arthritis, bone tumor, or severe knee injury.
The goal of minimally invasive knee replacement surgery is to resurface the parts of the knee joint which have been damaged and to relieve chronic or constant knee pain which cannot be controlled by other non-surgical treatments. Unlike traditional total knee replacement, minimally invasive knee replacement surgery is apt for all patients. Consult highly skilled orthopedic surgeons at Pristyn Care who specialize in minimally invasive orthopedic surgeries such as total knee replacement, hip replacement, etc.
Chronic Knee Pain and Instability Treatment
The orthopedic surgeon will ask you to have some tests before knee replacement surgery, including-
These imaging tests will help in better diagnosis of the condition, the surgeon will suggest the best suitable treatment option for you after evaluating your condition based on the test results.
Minimally invasive knee replacement involves the use of modified techniques and surgical instruments to place the clinically proven implants through a small incision. The minimally invasive knee replacement surgery is performed through a small 3- to 4-inch incision instead of a larger incision of 8- to 12-inch, as in the case of the traditional surgery for knee replacement.
Potential benefits of minimally invasive knee replacement surgery include increased knee mobility and motion sooner after the surgery, minimal blood loss during the surgery, faster and easier recovery, much smaller scar, and shorter hospital stay.

In Our Doctor's Words
"Knee replacement surgery is one of the most delayed surgical procedures. Patients delay it until they can barely walk or bones start cracking. A common sentiment is, "I thought it was Ok, as long as I could walk" or "My friends told me yoga could help". Well, while yoga and other exercises can help prevent certain diseases, an unmonitored strain during an already severed arthritis, does more damage than good. It may severe the pain, and advance complications. This is why I always highlight the importance of timely treatment. Then, you'll able to recover quicker, adjust faster, walk painlessly and experience a very evident change in the quality of life. Also its a myth that the implants only last 5-6 years. No. A good knee replacement surgery will easily last you an average of 15-25 years."

How soon a patient can start driving a car depends on many factors such as the type of surgery the patient had, whether the new joint is on the right or left side, and what kind of car the patient drives. Most patients should wait 4 to 6 week before driving, although some patients can start driving a bit sooner than that. The important thing is you should feel comfortable and should get your doctor’s approval before driving a car.

Robotic knee replacement is a modern procedure performed with assistance of a robotic arm or hand held robotic device to replace the diseased/ damaged knee joint with an artificial implant.
The two most common types of arthritis affecting the knee are osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Cartilage regeneration, also known as autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI), is an innovative orthopedic knee surgery to replace the damaged or worn out cartilage in the knee joint. The procedure is performed by an orthopedic surgeon who takes the healthy cartilage cells from the damaged knee, cultures them in a lab for a span of 4 to 6 weeks, and then injects the new cells to the damaged joint for regeneration with the healthy nearby cartilage. This is a minimally invasive procedure and is a promising option for some patients with isolated cartilage loss. Patients with more extensive knee damage often require a knee replacement.
There is no age bar or cut off for a knee replacement. Studies have found that patients in their 70s, 80s and 90s benefit from a knee replacement as much as younger patients.
Recovery time for knee replacement elderly patients at the age of 80 or above is about 12 weeks. The patient will likely need a walking aid like a walker or crutches to get around for the first 2 to 3 weeks. Within 4 to 6 weeks, the patient would most likely notice a significant decrease in swelling and increase in movement.
A partial knee replacement is an alternative procedure to a total knee replacement in which only the damaged parts of the knee cartilage are replaced with a prosthesis (implant). This surgery can be performed when the damage is limited to a particular part of the knee. Partial or unicompartmental knee replacement is a promising treatment option for some people with knee osteoarthritis.
MPFL (Medial Patellofemoral Ligament) reconstruction is the surgery in which a new medial patellofemoral ligament is created to stabilize the knee and help protect the joint from additional damage. It offers an excellent treatment option for people who have experienced more than one dislocation.
Grade 0-Normal knee health.Grade 1- Very minor bone spur growth with no pain or discomfort.Grade 2: Some patients might feel pain and other symptoms.Grade 3: Moderate OA and pain.Grade 4: Most severe stage of OA with chronic knee pain and significantly reduced mobility.
Knee arthroplasty is another medical term for knee replacement, which is the surgical procedure to replace a damaged knee joint with knee implants.
A complete or total knee replacement involves the replacement of all 3 compartments of the knee joint.
Knee osteoarthritis is another medical term for degenerative joint disease of the knee joint.
Knee arthrotomy is the surgical exploration of the knee joint, which can include inspection of the cartilage, ligaments, intra-articular structures and joint capsule.
The answer depends on several factors like the type of knee implant, the patient’s age, physical condition, activity level and body weight. Because these knee implants are made with strong materials (that are designed to last several years) and provide a secure fit, a total knee implant is expected to last beyond 20 years. A partial knee replacement can last around 10- 15 years.
Spinal or general anesthesia are typically used for Knee replacement surgery.

Most patients who undergo a successful knee replacement do not require a revision surgery. However, depending on the type of the implant, lifestyle and other factors, some patients might require a revision surgery.
