Knee replacement surgery at Aditthya Hospitals, Karaikudi, is performed for patients with severe knee arthritis or joint damage, followed by a structured physiotherapy-led recovery programme.
Who Needs Knee Replacement Surgery
Knee replacement is generally recommended when severe arthritis or joint damage causes persistent pain, stiffness, and difficulty walking that no longer responds to medication, physiotherapy, or other conservative treatments.
The Procedure at Aditthya Hospitals
The orthopedic surgical team evaluates the extent of joint damage through clinical examination and imaging before recommending surgery. During the procedure, the damaged joint surfaces are replaced with an artificial implant designed to restore pain-free movement.
Recovery After Surgery
Post-surgical recovery involves a structured physiotherapy programme managed by the hospital's rehabilitation department, helping patients regain strength, flexibility, and independence in daily activities over the following weeks.
