KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY Rise Up Stronger!
A quick glance at the concept
Knee replacement surgery is a widely performed procedure designed to restore function to damaged or deteriorated knee joints. This minimally invasive surgery helps alleviate pain and enhance mobility. The process involves replacing the affected bones and cartilage with artificial components made of metal and plastic.
Types of Knee ReplacementCustom Care for Every Knee Condition!
TOTAL Knee Replacement Surgery
Total Knee Arthroplasty, commonly known as Full Knee Replacement, is a surgical procedure aimed at relieving significant pain and disability caused by advanced arthritis or injury impacting the entire knee joint.
PARTIAL Knee Replacement Surgery
Partial Knee Replacement, also referred to as Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty or Half Knee Replacement, is a minimally invasive option suitable for individuals with damage limited to a specific compartment of the knee joint.
KNEE REVISION Surgery
Knee Revision surgery is a procedure performed to replace or repair an existing knee implant that has failed or worn out over time. It addresses issues like implant loosening, infection, instability, or wear-and-tear damage.

DIFFERENCE Between TOTAL and PARTIAL Knee ReplacementTotal Care vs. Targeted Repair!

Quick FAQs
If other treatments fail to provide relief from severe pain and loss of function, you might be a candidate for knee replacement surgery in Dubai. The primary cause of knee pain and immobility is often the degeneration of cartilage that protects and cushions the joints. As we age and experience reduced lubrication, bones rub against each other, leading to further damage and increased pain. For those seeking knee replacement in Dubai, Dr. Hesham is renowned for his expertise and successful outcomes.
Being well-informed and prepared before knee replacement surgery in Dubai is essential. Dr Hesham conducts a physical examination and pre-admission testing (PAT) to identify any health issues to ensure the best possible surgical outcome. Consulting with the doctor to understand the surgery process and recovery requirements will help you prepare for life after the procedure.

After knee replacement surgery in Dubai, the hospital stay can be up to three days maximum. The doctor will assess your recovery progress, ability to walk longer distances, and overall well-being to determine your discharge date.
After the knee replacement procedure, you will have regular visits from surgeon, physician assistant, or practicing nurse while in the hospital. It’s important to schedule follow-up appointments at the orthopedic clinic within two to four weeks after knee replacement surgery.
Recovery after knee replacement surgery in Dubai is gradual and may vary for each individual. For a quicker recovery, it’s important to do physical therapy exercises, such as walking and other movements. Daily routine can be resumed within six weeks mostly. After three months, patients typically regain strength and endurance. Full recovery can generally be expected around six months, although the exact timeline depends on various factors, including your health, lifestyle, and the type of surgery.
