Medicure Multispecialty Clinic – Dr. Romil Rathi
Understanding Knee Joint Problems
First of all, the knee joint is one of the most complex and heavily used joints in the human body. It supports body weight while allowing movement such as walking, bending, running, and climbing stairs. However, due to aging, injury, or medical conditions, the knee joint can deteriorate over time.
Consequently, many patients experience persistent pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. Furthermore, these symptoms often worsen gradually, making everyday tasks difficult and painful.
Common Causes of Knee Damage
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Post-traumatic arthritis
- Knee injuries or fractures
- Degenerative joint disease
- Severe cartilage wear
Therefore, when non-surgical treatments no longer provide relief, advanced knee replacement surgery becomes the most effective option.
What Is Advanced Knee Replacement Surgery?
Advanced knee replacement surgery is a highly specialized orthopedic procedure in which damaged portions of the knee joint are replaced with artificial implants. These implants are designed to mimic the natural movement of a healthy knee.
Unlike traditional methods, advanced knee replacement uses modern technology, precision instruments, minimally invasive techniques, and long-lasting implants. As a result, patients experience faster recovery, reduced pain, and improved joint function.
At Medicure Multispecialty Clinic, Dr. Romil Rathi performs knee replacement surgeries with a focus on accuracy, safety, and long-term success.
Types of Knee Replacement Surgery
Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
In total knee replacement, the entire damaged knee joint is replaced with artificial components. Therefore, this procedure is ideal for patients with severe arthritis affecting the whole knee.
Partial Knee Replacement (PKR)
On the other hand, partial knee replacement is recommended when only one part of the knee is damaged. Consequently, this technique preserves healthy bone and tissue, leading to quicker recovery.
Revision Knee Replacement
Sometimes, an old knee implant may fail or wear out. In such cases, revision knee replacement is performed to replace the existing implant with a new one.
Thus, Dr. Romil Rathi carefully evaluates each patient to determine the most suitable surgical approach.
