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!
Total Knee Replacement

- Suits for advanced arthritis or severe joint damage affecting the whole knee.
