Common Conditions That May Require Knee Replacement:
- Osteoarthritis of the Knee: Osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of severe knee pain. It occurs when the cartilage covering the knee joint gradually wears down. Common symptoms include Pain while walking, Knee stiffness, Swelling, Reduced movement, Difficulty climbing stairs, Joint deformity, & Reduced mobility.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory condition that can damage the cartilage, bone, and soft tissues around the knee. Severe joint damage can lead to pain, stiffness, deformity, and reduced function.
- Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Previous fractures, ligament injuries, or severe knee trauma can cause progressive joint degeneration. Some patients develop arthritis several years after the original injury.
- Severe Knee Deformity: Advanced arthritis may cause bow-legged or knock-kneed deformity. This can affect walking, balance, and knee stability.
- Degenerative Knee Joint Disease: Long-term wear and degeneration may cause progressive pain, stiffness, and loss of function. When symptoms become severe, knee replacement may be considered.
Robotic Knee Replacement vs Conventional Knee Replacement:
Does the Robot Perform the Surgery?
1. Robotic Total Knee Replacement
Total knee replacement may be recommended when arthritis affects most or all of the knee joint. The damaged joint surfaces are replaced with artificial components.
2. Partial Knee Replacement
In selected patients, arthritis may affect only one part of the knee. Partial knee replacement may be considered when the remaining compartments of the joint are relatively healthy.
