Regain mobility and eliminate knee pain with single knee replacement surgery using advanced prosthetic implants.
What is Single Knee Replacement?
Single knee replacement (unicompartmental or total knee arthroplasty) is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased knee joint with an artificial prosthesis. This procedure is performed on one knee to restore function, reduce pain, and improve mobility.
When is Knee Replacement Needed?
Knee replacement is recommended for severe arthritis, significant knee pain that limits daily activities, knee stiffness that affects mobility, chronic knee inflammation, or knee deformity. The procedure can dramatically improve quality of life for patients with severe knee problems.
The Procedure
Knee replacement surgery is performed under general or spinal anesthesia. The surgeon removes the damaged cartilage and bone, then implants the prosthetic components. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours, and patients usually stay in the hospital for 2-4 days.
