Knee replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that replaces the damaged or worn-out surfaces of the knee joint with artificial components. It is a highly effective treatment for patients suffering from chronic knee pain and reduced mobility due to arthritis or injury. Dr. Gautam Kodikal provides expert evaluation and precision-based surgical care, helping patients return to pain-free and active living.
Knee replacement is typically recommended when conservative treatments such as medications, physiotherapy, and injections fail to relieve persistent knee pain and disability. The most common cause is osteoarthritis, but it may also be required in cases of rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, or severe joint deformity.
Symptoms include ongoing knee pain, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty in walking, climbing stairs, or standing up from a seated position. As the joint damage progresses, daily activities become increasingly limited, affecting quality of life.
Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Involves replacing the entire knee joint with artificial components to restore function and relieve pain.
Partial Knee Replacement (PKR): Replaces only the damaged part of the knee when arthritis is confined to a single compartment.
Revision Knee Replacement: Performed when a previous knee replacement has worn out or failed, requiring correction or replacement.
Robotic Knee Replacement: Utilizes advanced robotic technology for precise implant positioning, improved outcomes, and faster recovery.
With decades of orthopedic experience, Dr. Gautam Kodikal follows a patient-centric and evidence-based approach to knee replacement surgery. His protocol includes:
