Advantages of knee replacement surgery

Arthritis is a very common problem in India, especially among the Southern population. At the end stage of arthritis, the knee completely deteriorates and the patient won’t be able to walk. Knee replacement surgery is the best treatment for people at the end stage of arthritis.

There are many options for knee replacement surgery and you can select the one that is best for you. Mechanical alignment and kinematic alignment are the two major types to consider.

Mechanical alignment is the traditional method that has been used for a long time.

While this method of surgery is done, it is required to release the ligament inside the knee. This might cause instability of the knee post-surgery.

Kinematic knee replacement takes away the need to release the ligament. In this type of surgery, the knee is placed in the same position it was before the deterioration progressed. The ligament is not released and the soft tissues around the knee are preserved. The knee is resurfaced after the deterioration is alone addressed.

Advantages of kinematic knee replacement surgery ● Knee braces and tourniquets that are used for patients having Mechanical alignment are not required for patients who choose kinematic alignment. ● The negative suction drain used by the orthopaedic surgeons after the surgery for the patients is also not required with kinematic alignment. ● All these make the patients easily recover and walk soon. Most patients will be able to walk the next day after surgery. ● Walking and even climbing stairs can be done comfortably by the patient.
