knee-joint-replacement
Knee joint replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged or diseased knee joint with an artificial implant. This surgery is often necessary for individuals suffering from chronic knee pain and reduced mobility due to conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or traumatic injuries. When conservative treatments such as medications, physical therapy, or injections fail, knee joint replacement offers a lasting solution for pain relief and improved function.
Dr. Vikramjit Singh Baath, a leading orthopedic surgeon, specializes in knee joint replacement surgeries, providing patients with the most advanced care. With years of experience, Dr. Baath is known for his expertise in both total and partial knee replacements, using the latest surgical techniques to ensure optimal results and faster recovery.
Why Knee Joint Replacement is Needed
Knee joint replacement is often required when the cartilage that cushions the knee joint wears away, leading to bone-on-bone friction that causes pain, swelling, and stiffness. Common conditions that may require knee replacement include:
- Osteoarthritis: The most common cause, where wear and tear on the knee joint lead to cartilage breakdown.
- Rheumatoid arthritis: Chronic inflammation that damages the knee joint.
- Post-traumatic arthritis: After a severe knee injury, the joint may be damaged, leading to arthritis.
What to Expect with Dr. Baath
During the procedure, Dr. Baath carefully removes the damaged portions of the knee and replaces them with artificial implants made from materials like metal alloys and high-grade plastics. This restores the knee’s natural function and reduces pain.
With a focus on minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Baath helps patients recover faster and with less discomfort. Post-surgery, he provides a comprehensive rehabilitation plan, including physical therapy, to help restore strength and mobility.
Under the care of Dr. Vikramjit Singh Baath, patients can expect expert, personalized treatment, long-term pain relief, and a return to active living with improved knee function.
