Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement Surgery: Symptoms, Classification, Diagnosis & Recovery

Invasive Knee Replacement Surgery begins with the patient receiving anaesthesia to ensure they are comfortable and free of pain during the procedure. A larger incision, typically 6-8 inches long, is made to access the knee joint. The surgeon removes the damaged bone and cartilage, including parts of the femur, tibia, and sometimes the patella. Artificial joint components, often made of metal, plastic, or ceramic, are inserted to replace the damaged areas. After the new components are in place, the incision is closed. The patient is monitored throughout recovery, and physical therapy is initiated soon after to help regain mobility and strength in the knee.
