Knee Replacement Surgery in Peshawar

- Conservative treatment first

What is knee replacement?
Knee replacement, or knee arthroplasty, is an operation that removes the damaged surfaces of your knee joint and replaces them with prosthetic components.
A total knee replacement replaces all three compartments of your knee. A partial, or unicompartmental, replacement replaces only the affected compartment and keeps your healthy bone and tissue.
You may need this procedure if
- You have severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid or post-traumatic arthritis
- Your pain is constant and it limits what you can do
- Conservative treatment has stopped helping you
- Your X-ray confirms severe joint damage
Recovery & rehabilitation
Your recovery is your own, and physiotherapy starts within the first days after your surgery. You will usually begin walking with assistance or a walking aid, and your daily activities improve week by week after that. Modern knee replacements last 15 to 25 years in most patients at appropriate activity levels.
| Walking with assistance | From day 1 |
|---|---|
| Walking aid reduced as able | Early weeks |
| Daily activities improve | Following weeks |
| Full recovery | Several months |
Recovery varies. Your rehabilitation plan depends on your health, the type of replacement you have, and how you progress after surgery.
