Total knee replacement is a surgical procedure aimed at replacing damaged or worn-out knee joints with artificial implants. This procedure is commonly performed to relieve pain, restore function, and improve mobility in individuals suffering from severe arthritis or knee injuries. Through precise surgical techniques and advanced implant materials, total knee replacement surgery can significantly enhance the quality of life for patients, allowing them to return to their daily activities with reduced pain and improved joint function.
During hip replacement surgery, the damaged parts of the hip joint are removed and replaced with artificial components, typically made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. This procedure aims to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall quality of life for individuals experiencing hip joint issues. With advances in medical technology and surgical techniques, hip replacement has become a commonly performed and highly successful procedure, offering patients a chance to regain comfort and functionality in their daily activities.
Minimally invasive hip and knee surgeries are advanced procedures designed to address hip and knee issues with smaller incisions and less disruption to surrounding tissues compared to traditional surgery. These techniques utilise specialised instruments and advanced imaging technology to access and repair damaged joints with precision. By minimising trauma to muscles and tissues, patients often experience reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times. Minimally invasive hip and knee surgeries offer patients the opportunity to regain mobility and improve their quality of life with less discomfort and downtime.
Unicompartmental knee replacement surgery, also known as partial knee replacement, is a procedure performed to address damage or degeneration in only one compartment of the knee joint. Unlike total knee replacement, which involves replacing the entire knee joint, unicompartmental knee replacement focuses on replacing only the damaged portion of the knee. This approach preserves healthy tissue and ligaments, resulting in a smaller incision, less trauma to surrounding structures, and potentially faster recovery times. Unicompartmental knee replacement is typically recommended for patients with isolated arthritis or damage in one specific area of the knee, offering targeted relief and improved function while preserving as much of the natural knee anatomy as possible.
Hip and knee preservation surgery encompasses a range of procedures aimed at maintaining or improving the function and longevity of the hip and knee joints without resorting to joint replacement. These surgeries are often recommended for younger patients or those with early-stage joint conditions, focusing on preserving the natural joint structures and delaying the need for more invasive interventions like joint replacement. Examples of hip and knee preservation surgeries include arthroscopic procedures to repair or remove damaged tissue, realignment surgeries to correct joint misalignment, and osteotomy procedures to redistribute weight-bearing forces within the joint. By preserving the native joint anatomy and function, hip and knee preservation surgery aims to alleviate pain, improve joint stability, and prolong joint health for patients seeking to maintain an active lifestyle with their natural joints.
Arthroscopic surgery is a type of surgery done with small cuts and a tiny camera called an arthroscope. It’s used to diagnose and treat problems inside a joint, like the knee, shoulder, or hip. During the surgery, the surgeon makes small cuts and inserts the arthroscope, allowing them to see inside the joint on a screen. They can then repair or remove damaged tissue, fix injuries, or treat conditions like arthritis. Arthroscopic surgery is less invasive than traditional open surgery, which means less pain and faster recovery for patients.
Arthroscopic ligament reconstruction surgery is a type of surgery used to repair damaged ligaments in joints like the knee or shoulder. It’s done with small cuts and a tiny camera called an arthroscope. The surgeon uses the camera to see inside the joint and guide specialized instruments to repair or replace the damaged ligament. This surgery is commonly used to treat ligament injuries, such as ACL tears in the knee or rotator cuff tears in the shoulder. Arthroscopic ligament reconstruction allows for precise treatment with minimal damage to surrounding tissues, leading to faster recovery and improved joint function for patients.
Meniscus repair surgery is a procedure used to fix a torn meniscus in the knee. The meniscus is a rubbery cartilage in the knee that acts as a shock absorber. When it tears, it can cause pain, swelling, and limited movement. During meniscus repair surgery, the surgeon makes small incisions around the knee and uses specialised instruments, including an arthroscope, to repair the torn meniscus. Depending on the size and location of the tear, stitches or other devices may be used to hold the meniscus together as it heals. This surgery aims to restore stability and function to the knee joint, allowing patients to return to their normal activities with reduced pain and improved mobility.
