Knee replacement surgery
Replacing a severely damaged knee joint — usually from advanced arthritis — with an artificial implant.
When this is typically needed
- Persistent knee pain limiting daily activity
- Pain not relieved by medication or physiotherapy
- Significant joint stiffness or deformity
What it involves
The damaged joint surface is replaced with a prosthetic implant, followed by a structured physiotherapy program.
What to expect
Hospital stay of a few days, with physiotherapy starting almost immediately — full recovery typically takes a few months.
