The experts at Saudi German Hospital recommend knee replacement surgery when all other non-surgical treatments, such as medications, physical therapy, or walking aids, are no longer effective. Knee replacement surgery is the most effective and safest procedure for relieving pain and improving joint deformities. However, during the knee replacement surgery, the patient will be given either general or spinal anesthesia. Intravenous antibiotics are controlled both before and after surgery to help prevent post-operative infections.

Suadi German Hospital's orthopedic surgeon makes an incision in the tissue to gain access to the kneecap (patella) and quadriceps muscles at the top of the upper leg. The damaged cartilage surfaces at the femur and tibia ends are removed, and the damaged cartilage and bone are replaced with metal components that recreate the joint surface. The kneecap is lacerated, and a medical-grade plastic spacer is inserted between the metal components. The incisions are repaired and stitched after the installation. There are several options for total knee replacement surgery, but the Saudi German Hospital's specialist orthopedic surgeons prefer minimally invasive surgical procedures to avoid excessive cutting of muscles and tendons, ensuring optimal results.
