The skilled surgeons offer minimally invasive and laparoscopic artificial knee replacement surgeries. The diagnostic techniques available at the hospital include CT scans, physical examinations, and X-rays. During the knee replacement procedure, plastic and metal prosthetics are used to replace the damaged knee parts. To make the front of the knee visible during surgery, a piece of the quadriceps muscle is cut loose. The femur and tibia are carefully shaped. Metal components (prosthetics) are then securely attached to the bone using impact or polymethylmethacrylate cement.

Total Knee Replacement Bilateral is a surgery that involves the simultaneous replacement of both knee joints with artificial implants. It is performed to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance the function of the knees. During the procedure, the damaged portions of the knee joints are removed, and metal or plastic components are inserted to recreate the joint surfaces.
Total Knee Replacement Bilateral is commonly used to treat medical conditions that affect both knee joints, such as severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, and knee deformities. Some common signs and symptoms exhibited by these conditions include chronic pain, stiffness, difficulty walking, and reduced quality of life.
The recovery process after a total knee replacement can take several months. In the initial few days post-surgery, the patient is kept in the hospital under close monitoring to manage pain, monitor vital signs, and begin physical therapy. Full recovery may require dedicated physiotherapy and regular follow-up visits with the surgeon to monitor progress and ensure proper healing. Rehabilitation exercises, pain management, and adherence to post-operative instructions are essential for a successful recovery.
Joint stiffness and pain in the knees are widespread issues facing elderly individuals (typically those who have long-term joint degeneration (osteoarthritis). As mobility restricts your ability to do simple tasks like walking
