What is a Knee Prosthesis?

A knee prosthesis is a surgical solution applied in cases where severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or trauma causes damage, leading to restricted joint movement and pain. This prosthesis involves replacing the worn-out or damaged surfaces of the knee joint with artificial components made of materials such as metal and plastic.

Types of Knee Prostheses:

Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Replacement of the entire knee joint.
Partial Knee Replacement (PKR): Replacement of only the damaged part of the knee joint.

How is Knee Replacement Surgery Performed?

Knee replacement surgery is a surgical procedure performed by orthopedic specialists and generally consists of the following steps:

Preparation:
The patient's overall health condition is evaluated.
Tests such as blood tests, X-rays, and MRI scans are conducted.
The type of anesthesia (general or spinal anesthesia) is determined.

Surgical Procedure:
A surgical incision is made in the knee joint.
The damaged cartilage and bone tissue are removed.
A properly sized prosthesis is placed and fixed.
A special plastic insert is placed between the prosthetic components to enable joint movement.
The incision is closed, and dressing is applied.

Postoperative Process:
The patient usually stays in the hospital for 1-2 days.
Physical therapy begins, and the patient starts walking.
The full recovery process may take 3-6 months.

Knee replacement surgery is an effective procedure designed to help patients move without pain and improve their quality of life.
