Chronic knee pain can affect every aspect of daily life—from walking and climbing stairs to sleeping comfortably at night. When knee pain becomes persistent and limits mobility despite medication, physiotherapy, or injections, knee replacement surgery may be the most effective option. Modern orthopaedic advancements have made knee replacement a highly successful procedure with predictable outcomes and long-term pain relief.
At Sobti Ortho, knee replacement surgery is performed using advanced techniques, careful planning, and a patient-centred approach to help individuals regain mobility, independence, and quality of life.
Understanding Knee Problems
The knee is one of the most complex and heavily used joints in the body. Over time, it can become damaged due to:
-
Osteoarthritis (age-related wear and tear)
-
Rheumatoid arthritis
-
Post-injury degeneration
-
Cartilage loss
-
Long-term joint inflammation
As the cushioning cartilage wears away, the bones begin to rub against each other, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced movement.
When Is Knee Replacement Needed?
Knee replacement is usually recommended when:
-
Knee pain persists even at rest
-
Walking becomes difficult or painful
-
Stiffness limits bending or straightening the knee
-
Daily activities are severely affected
-
Non-surgical treatments no longer provide relief
At Sobti Ortho, surgery is considered only after a thorough assessment confirms that conservative treatments are no longer effective.
What Is Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee replacement surgery involves removing damaged cartilage and bone from the knee joint and replacing it with an artificial implant designed to restore smooth, pain-free movement.
The artificial components replicate the natural shape and function of the knee, allowing improved alignment and stability.
Depending on the condition, surgery may involve:
-
Partial replacement (one section of the knee)
-
Total replacement (entire knee joint)
The appropriate option is decided based on joint damage, age, activity level, and overall health.
