Understanding Knee Replacement Surgery
Living with chronic knee pain can significantly diminish your quality of life. Simple activities like walking, climbing stairs, or even standing can become painful challenges. If you’re experiencing persistent knee pain that hasn’t responded to conservative treatments, knee replacement surgery might be the solution you’ve been seeking.
At OrthClinic Kandy, we pride ourselves on being Sri Lanka’s premier orthopedic facility, offering world-class knee replacement surgeries with exceptional outcomes. Here’s everything you need to know about knee replacement surgery and why OrthClinic Kandy should be your first choice.
Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a procedure that replaces damaged knee joint surfaces with artificial components. The surgery aims to relieve pain, restore function, and improve the quality of life for patients suffering from severe knee conditions.
When Is Knee Replacement Necessary?
Knee replacement is typically recommended for patients with:
- Severe osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Post-traumatic arthritis
- Knee injuries or deformities
- Failed previous treatments including medication, physical therapy, and injections
- Pain that limits daily activities and affects quality of life
Why You Should Consider Knee Replacement Surgery
- Significant Pain Relief
The most compelling reason to undergo knee replacement surgery is the dramatic reduction in pain. Most patients report that their knee pain is either completely eliminated or significantly reduced after recovery.
- Improved Mobility and Function
Knee replacement can restore your ability to perform everyday activities that were previously difficult or impossible. Many patients return to low-impact activities like walking, swimming, cycling, and even golf.
- Enhanced Quality of Life
With reduced pain and improved function comes a better quality of life. Many patients report improved sleep, better mood, and increased independence after knee replacement surgery.
- Long-Lasting Results
Modern knee replacements are durable and can last 15-20 years or more, making it a long-term solution for knee problems.
- High Success Rate
Knee replacement has one of the highest success rates among major surgeries, with over 90% of patients reporting significant improvement.
