Primary Total Knee Replacements Care by Dr. Harsha G N

Primary total knee replacement is a definitive surgical procedure performed to relieve severe knee pain and restore joint function in patients with advanced knee arthritis or extensive cartilage damage. The procedure involves replacing the worn-out joint surfaces with high-quality artificial implants designed to mimic natural knee movement.

This surgery is recommended when conservative treatments such as medications, injections, physiotherapy, and lifestyle modifications fail to provide lasting relief. Careful preoperative planning and modern surgical techniques ensure accurate alignment, joint stability, and long-term implant performance.

When to Consider Primary Total Knee Replacement

• Severe knee pain limiting walking, sitting, or daily activities
• Advanced osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease of the knee
• Significant knee deformity or stiffness affecting mobility
• Poor response to non-surgical treatments and pain management

Advantages of Primary Total Knee Replacement

• Long-lasting pain relief and improved knee function
• Restoration of normal alignment and joint stability
• Enhanced mobility and ability to perform daily activities
• Durable implant design offering reliable long-term outcomes

Postoperative rehabilitation is a key component of recovery after primary total knee replacement. A personalized physiotherapy program helps regain knee movement, strengthen muscles, and improve balance. Regular follow-up ensures proper healing, implant longevity, and sustained functional improvement.
