Packages for Total Knee Replacement Surgery U/L

A. Yes, there are different types of knee replacement surgeries such as:

1. Total knee replacement: Replacement of the joint surfaces at the top of your shin bone (tibia) and the end of your thigh bone (femur) is a common procedure for total knee replacements.
2. Unicompartmental (partial) knee replacement: The knee is only partially replaced to preserve the good bone and tissue. This is appropriate for those with moderate arthritis in a single knee joint.
3. Kneecap replacement (patellofemoral arthroplasty): If the only areas of the kneecap affected by arthritis are the underside and its groove (the trochlea), then a kneecap replacement is necessary.
4. Complex or revision knee replacement: When the patient is having a second or third knee joint replaced, or if the arthritis is severe, one may require a complex knee replacement.

A. Yes, for the duration that the patient is admitted to the hospital after knee replacement surgery, the package includes full physiotherapy services. To help restore strength and mobility following knee replacement surgery, rehabilitation is an essential part of the healing process. But after the patient is released from the hospital, they will have to pay for any further rehabilitation themselves. Maintaining this level of rehabilitation is crucial to getting the best possible healing results.

A. A knee replacement typically lasts 15 to 20 years, though many patients report longer periods of pain relief. The following factors may have an impact on how long the implant lasts:

• Level of patient activity: More active patients may have more joint stress.
• Weight: More weight may increase the wear-and-tear process within the joint.
• Overall health: Every problem from arthritis to diabetes can sometimes shorten the lifespan of a prosthesis.
• Advanced implant materials: Development in these can improve durability.

The doctor can help keep track of how the implant is functioning and when it needs attention.

A. Yes, patients can typically choose the kind of knee implant that will be used during surgery to suit their particular requirements and the recommendations given by the surgeon. here is a brief overview of the various kinds of knee implants.

• Fixed-bearing implants: Implants with fixed bearings have stationary bearing surfaces about the metal parts.
• Mobile-bearing implants: allow for some movement of the bearing surface, which can create less wear and perhaps be better for the more active patient.
• Cemented implants: fixed to the bone with a special cement that will provide immediate stability. Used mostly in older patients with bone weakness.
• Cementless implants: permit stability to be achieved through bone growth into the implant and typically used in younger, active patients with good bone quality.
• Custom implants: 3D imaging may be used by some surgeons to create a customized implant that matches the unique contours of your anatomy and may improve the outcomes.

The surgeon can help you against the positives and negatives of each, depending on your lifestyle, activity level, and health, guaranteeing that you choose the best choice available for you.

A. No, we are not currently providing robotic-assisted knee replacements as part of our package

A. Certain factors, such as age, level of activity, or body mass index (BMI), affect the likelihood of someone needing to undergo revision surgery after receiving a knee replacement.

1. Age: Younger patients tend to need revision surgery.
2. Activity level: Active patients could have their counterparts undergoing revision in the hospital.
3. BMI: The increased probability of revision surgery is linked to patients with high BMI.
4. Time: Six percent after five years; twelve percent after ten years.

Infection, aseptic loosening of the implant, instability of the prosthetic joint, or continuing knee pain or discomfort may account for any left-causing revision surgery.
