Knee Replacement Surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which damaged or worn-out parts of the knee joint are replaced with artificial implants. This is often necessary when the joint is severely affected by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. In modern practice, robotic-assisted knee replacement offers greater precision in implant positioning, faster recovery, and longer-lasting results. Dr. Tanmoy Karmakar specializes in advanced minimally invasive and robotic techniques, ensuring maximum joint function and a quicker return to daily activities.
Signs & Symptoms Indicating the Need for Knee Replacement
You may be a candidate for knee replacement if you experience:
- Persistent knee pain that interferes with daily activities
- Stiffness and reduced range of motion
- Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods
- Pain even while resting or at night
- Swelling and deformity of the knee joint
- Ineffectiveness of medications, physiotherapy, or injections
