Knee Replacement
What Is a Joint Prosthesis?
A prosthesis is an implant designed to replace a damaged joint, most commonly in the knee or hip. It is made from durable, biocompatible materials that help restore function and reduce pain caused by severe degeneration.
This procedure is primarily indicated for advanced osteoarthritis, complex injuries, or significant deformities.
Joint Replacement May Be Considered When:
- Pain is constant and limits daily life
- There is significant difficulty walking
- There is no improvement with medication, physical therapy, or injections
- Quality of life is substantially affected
The decision is always based on a comprehensive evaluation and imaging studies.
Types of Joint Replacement Procedures
Depending on the case, procedures may include:
- Total knee replacement
- Partial knee replacement
- Total hip replacement
Each procedure is carefully planned according to the patient’s anatomy and specific needs.
Recovery & Follow-Up
Rehabilitation is a fundamental part of a successful outcome. Ongoing medical follow-up ensures proper healing and optimizes functional results.
Care and guidance continue from the initial evaluation through full recovery.
Schedule a Consultation
If joint pain is limiting your quality of life, a specialized evaluation can determine whether joint replacement is the right option for you. A thorough consultation allows for individualized assessment, with clear explanations of risks, benefits, and realistic expectations.
