Total Knee Replacement Surgery
Total Knee Replacement is a highly effective orthopedic procedure used to treat severe knee arthritis and chronic knee joint pain that significantly affects mobility and daily activities. At Agastya Hospitals in LB Nagar, Hyderabad, Dr Praveen Reddy P provides advanced total knee replacement surgery to help patients regain joint function and live pain-free lives.
The knee joint is one of the most important weight-bearing joints in the body, allowing smooth movement during walking, standing, and climbing stairs. Over time, the cartilage that cushions the knee joint may wear out due to conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, injury, or age-related degeneration. When cartilage deteriorates, the bones rub against each other, causing severe pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility.
Total knee replacement surgery involves removing the damaged cartilage and bone surfaces of the knee joint and replacing them with durable artificial implants made from metal and high-grade medical materials. These implants are designed to replicate the natural movement of the knee joint and restore stability.
Dr Praveen Reddy P uses advanced surgical techniques and modern orthopedic technology to ensure precise implant placement and improved surgical outcomes. The goal of total knee replacement surgery is to relieve chronic knee pain, restore joint mobility, and improve the patient’s quality of life.
Most patients who undergo knee replacement surgery experience significant pain relief and improved joint function. With proper physiotherapy and rehabilitation, patients can gradually return to normal daily activities and maintain an active lifestyle.
