Unilateral Knee Replacement in India

What is a knee replacement ?

A knee replacement is a procedure to remove your damaged knee joint and replace it with an artificial one (a prosthesis) – this is made out of metal and plastic. Afterwards your knee should be much less painful and the joint should move more smoothly…

 

Why do I need a knee replacement ?

Over time, the surfaces on the knee joint can start to wear. This can be caused by osteoarthritis or a previous injury to the knee. Osteoarthritis is painful as joints become stiff and inflamed when the smooth lining between the joints gets damaged or wears away. Without the protection of this lining, the rough surfaces of your bones rub together as you move, causing the pain that is all too common to sufferers….

 

How we treat you ?

A knee replacement is normally performed under general anaesthetic, which means you are asleep during the operation. During the operation, your whole existing knee joint is replaced with a new prosthetic knee joint this takes between one and two hours. You will have a cut (incision) of about 15 cm (6-8 inches) at the front of your knee where the replacement will take place. Usually, you will stay in hospital for 4-6 days, but you may have to stay longer if necessary.

The benefits of a knee replacement are reduced joint pain, increased mobility and an improved quality of life, with the ability to return to routine activities of daily life….

 

Other available treatments

Pain medication, such as anti-inflammatories, can help you to move around. Exercise can help reduce stiffness in your joint, and you may find it easier to get around with the help of a walking stick. A steroid injection into your knee joint will reduce the pain and stiffness for a few months, although this is not a long-term treatment. We may also be able to perform an arthroscopy to look inside your knee and wash out the joint with a sterile fluid, but this will only give relief for a limited period…..

 

Before your operation

Before you come into hospital for your operation, you will be asked questions about your health by one of our nurses. Further ‘pre-assessment’ questions may be asked over the phone, or you might be asked to come into the hospital for some simple tests, such as a blood test, a urine sample etc….

 

On the day

At the hospital, we’ll show you to your room where one of our Healthcare Team will meet you to explain each stage of your treatment and recovery. They’ll take notes on your general health, medical and surgical history and ask if you have any allergies. Your blood pressure, pulse and temperature will be taken and an identification band with your name and hospital number on it will be placed on your wrist…..

 

After the operation

Once your operation is over, you’ll be taken to the recovery room where you will wake from the anaesthetic. Your wound, blood pressure and pulse will be checked carefully. You will have a large dressing covering your wound. You may have a small tube coming out of your wound – this is to drain away any excess fluid from the inside of the wound….

 

Going home

A physiotherapist will give you some exercises to help get your new knee moving. These are important to help you make a good recovery. After three or four days, you should be walking with walking sticks . When you are able to walk up and down stairs, you can go home. You won’t be able to drive, so you will need someone to come and take you home from the hospital, once you have been discharged….

 

At home

When you get home, you may be tired for the first few days, and should rest. However, it’s also important to aim to gradually increase your physical activity each day, so you should continue with the exercises the physiotherapist showed you….

 

Getting back to normal

After three weeks you should be getting about relatively easily, and this will continue to improve over the next six months. Your scar should fade to a thin white line…..

 

Complications and risks

Complications are rare. Don’t worry, your Healthcare Team is there to reassure and help you if anything unusual happens….

Risks specific to knee replacement surgery are : -

Numbness on the outside of the knee caused by a nerve being cut during surgery
Stiffness – there may need to be further, minor surgery to improve this
Pain when kneeling…

 

Signs and symptoms of a DVT to look out for : -

• Swelling in the leg
• Pain or tenderness in the leg
• Increased warmth in the swollen leg

Signs of a wound infection to look out for when at home : -

• The wound may be warm to the touch
• Pain or tenderness
• Redness or swelling around the wound site
• Oozing of pus or fluid
• Offensive smell
• Your temperature may be raised……
