Total knee replacement, also known as Total knee arthroplasty. It is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or diseased knee joint is replaced with an artificial joint or prosthesis. This procedure is typically performed to alleviate pain and improve the function of the knee when conservative treatments have been unsuccessful.

Total knee replacement surgery is generally effective in relieving pain and improving the quality of life for individuals with severe knee joint problems.

A bilateral knee replacement surgery is performed when both knees are damaged or diseased. If only one knee is affected, then the surgeon recommends the patient undergo the replacement of just one knee, a procedure known as unilateral knee replacement surgery.

Following are some of the indications for bilateral knee replacement surgery

Osteoarthritis
Post-traumatic arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Knee deformity
Vascular necrosis
Swelling
Inflammation of the cartilage surrounding the knee

Total knee replacement is performed to alleviate chronic knee pain and increase mobility in individuals with extensive joint damage due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or injury. The purpose is to regain function, alleviate stiffness and pain, and promote overall quality of life.

You should consult a doctor if you experience long-standing knee pain, stiffness, swelling, walking difficulty, or limited motion that is not relieved by medications, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes. Early assessment identifies whether or not surgery or other treatments are indicated.

Preparation involves an imaging test, a blood test, and a medical assessment. Some medications need to be discontinued, chronic diseases need to be controlled, and patients must fast before surgery. Physical therapy pre-operatively and home preparation might also be advised.

Incision: An incision is performed over the front of the knee to expose the joint.
Removal: Debris, bone and cartilage are excised from the femur, tibia, and patella.
Bone Shaping: Bone surfaces are reshaped to accommodate the implants precisely.
Implant Placement: Metal pieces are attached to the femur and tibia; a plastic spacer is inserted for smooth gliding.
Securing Implants: Implants are secured with bone cement or press-fit for bone growth.
Closure: The wound is closed with stitches or staples, and a dressing is placed.

Surgery typically lasts 1–2 hours. Hospital stays are 1–3 days. Depending on their mobility and health, some patients can be discharged on the same day.

Infection
Blood clots
Implant loosening or wear
Knee stiffness or decreased range of motion
Nerve or blood vessel damage
Persistent pain or requirement for revision surgery

Improved pain relief
Increased joint mobility and function
Increased ability to walk and carry out daily activities

Recovery involves physical therapy beginning within a day of surgery. Patients walk with walkers or crutches at first. Most can return to normal activities within 6–12 weeks, although full strength and range of motion can take several months. Compliance with rehabilitation is essential for long-term success.

Total knee replacement is highly successful, with over 90% of patients finding relief from pain and increased mobility. Implants normally function for 15–20 years; most patients resume active lifestyles.
