What is Knee Replacement Surgery?

Knee Replacement Surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or worn-out knee joint is replaced with an artificial implant. The goal of this surgery is to relieve pain, improve joint function, and restore normal movement. The artificial joint is made of high-quality metal and medical-grade plastic designed to function like a natural knee joint.

This procedure is commonly recommended for patients suffering from advanced arthritis, joint degeneration, or severe knee injuries that do not respond to medication or physiotherapy.

When You Need Knee Replacement Surgery

Knee Replacement Surgery may be required when:

• Severe knee pain limits daily activities like walking or climbing stairs
• Pain persists even during rest or at night
• Knee stiffness reduces movement and flexibility
• Medicines, injections, and physiotherapy no longer provide relief
• X-rays show significant joint damage or bone-on-bone friction
• Deformity in knee shape (bow legs or knock knees) develops

If these symptoms interfere with your quality of life, surgical intervention may be the most effective solution.

At Govil’s Clinic, treatment begins with a detailed evaluation of the patient’s condition. Dr. Gaurav Govil carefully assesses symptoms, medical history, physical condition, and diagnostic reports such as X-rays or MRI scans.

Treatment options include:

• Non-surgical management (medications, injections, physiotherapy) in early stages
• Minimally invasive surgical planning when required
• Total or Partial Knee Replacement depending on joint damage
• Customized rehabilitation programs for faster recovery

The focus is always on choosing the most suitable and least invasive treatment option for each patient.
