Total knee replacement is indicated in patients with knee arthritis that has not responded sufficiently to conservative treatment with anti-inflammatories and analgesics. It is a well established procedure with good longterm clinical results.
We are able to utilize the Computer-assisted Total knee replacement technique. This enables the surgeon to create a computer model of the knee, which assists with accurate placement and alignment of the knee component.
A total knee replacement is a surgical procedure that requires 5 – 7 days of hospital admission and approximately 4 – 6 weeks of post-operative rehabilitation and recovery.
Knee replacements are usually performed in older people when stiffness and / or pain significantly affect activities of daily living.
We would require a consultation and radiographs in order to determine whether a patient is suitable for a total knee replacement.
