Dr Gaurav Pawar is the Best Knee Replacement Surgeon in Bibwewadi, Dhankawadi, Katraj, Kondhwa, Undri, Wanowrie, Hadapsar and Pune. Knee replacement surgery (arthroplasty) is a procedure where an orthopedic surgeon replaces damaged cartilage and bone in the knee joint with artificial implants made of metal and plastic. Typically performed for severe arthritis or injury, its primary goal is to relieve chronic pain and restore mobility.
The most common reason for a knee replacement is severe osteoarthritis, where the protective cartilage on the ends of the bones wears away, causing bones to grind together. Doctors usually recommend surgery when non-surgical treatments like medications, physical therapy, and injections no longer provide relief.
Types of Surgery-
Depending on the extent of the joint damage, the procedure can be:
โข Total Knee Replacement (TKR): The most common approach, where all three compartments of the knee joint (inside, outside, and under the kneecap) are resurfaced.
โข Partial Knee Replacement (PKR): Replaces only the damaged section of the knee, usually performed if the damage is localized to one or two areas
