Knee joint replacement surgery, also called joint arthroplasty, is performed to treat rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, bone deformities, traumatic joint injuries and other similar conditions.

Dr. Pranav Rathi performs total or partial best joint replacement in Andheri. In the first method, the entire joint is replaced by removing the affected cartilage and periarticular tissues and filling the gap through cementing or pressing. An artificial arm made of medical-grade plastic is then inserted to support the joint and allow it to move smoothly and correctly. The surgery can be performed unilaterally (on one leg only) or bilaterally (on both legs). In the latter case, the surgical intervention is performed according to a similar scheme. However, in this case only the affected part of the joint is replaced, not the whole joint. This surgery can also be performed unilaterally (on one leg) or bilaterally (on both legs).

Types of joint replacement surgeries in Andheri
Depending on the patient's age, health status and activity level, orthopedic surgeons recommend the following types of joint replacement surgery
Partial joint replacement Revision of joint endoprostheses
Total joint replacement (TKR) endoprostheses
TKR is a traditional surgical procedure in which the surgeon inserts artificial metal implants to replace the joint surfaces as in a normal human joint.
Partial joint arthroplasty
When arthritis affects only one side of a joint, partial best joint replacement in Andheri is an alternative to total joint replacement, where surgeons use minimally invasive or less invasive techniques and make smaller incisions.
Joint revision arthroplasty
Revision surgery may be necessary if you have already had a second or thirdbest joint replacement in Andheri surgery for the same joint, if you have severe osteoarthritis or if your previous joint replacement surgery has failed. The metal implants used in this surgery have longer rods that connect the metal parts tightly to the bone.
What is osteoarthritis?
A joint is a joint made up of three bones. Femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone) and patella (joint head). A joint is where two bones come together (meet). The femur and tibia slide over each other, allowing the joint to bend and extend. The patella slides over the femur and is connected to important muscles that act as levers to help the joint move.
The surfaces of the bones are coated with a varnish (like paint on a wall) that allows smooth movement with very little friction between the two surfaces. As we age or as a result of cartilage injury, these surfaces wear away. When this happens, as the joint moves, the two rough surfaces rub against each other and small particles are ejected. These irritate the patella, which is made up of tiny structures (cells) whose job is to secrete 1-2 ml of lubricant, and the irritation causes them to secrete much more. This can be likened to getting dust in the eye and causing lacrimation.
What is a total joint replacement?
If osteoarthritis affects more than one part of the joint, a valve is placed in all three parts of the joint. This is called total joint arthroplasty. The aim is to rebuild the bone with a metal cover and straighten the joint so that your body weight passes through the center of the best joint replacement in Andheri.
Are you completely replacing the series?
Replacement is a misnomer. The joint is not replaced, only reconstructed, i.e. a metal cap about 1 cm thick is placed around the best joint replacement in Andheri to compensate for worn cartilage.
How can I avoid surgery?
Knee arthroplasty is not a life-saving operation, it is a life-changing operation. It is only performed if your quality of life is jeopardized by pain. To prevent rapid progression of osteoarthritis, it is important to control your weight and do regular exercises for your thigh muscles (quadriceps).
Is the surgery painful?
We use the latest anesthesia techniques, using saturated local anesthesia at the surgical site and injecting epidural anesthesia after surgery, which blocks the pain nerves and makes the patient pain-free.
How do we do it differently?
The goal of joint arthroplasty is to repair the best joint replacement in Andheri and restore the lower limb to a neutral position (i.e. straight) so that weight is evenly distributed between the two. Dr. Pranav Rathi is a strong advocate of computer-assisted joint surgery. Computer-assisted surgery eliminates small errors due to human judgment to achieve perfect alignment. It is used as an aid to surgery.
