Knee is considered to be one of the most important joint in the body as it plays a leading role in bearing the body weight. Knee is the most common joint that gets worn out with age. When the knee joints get damaged, it is necessary to be replaced. Damaged joint cartilage is replaced by implants on each surface of the joint so that pain and deformity are taken care of. Dr Rohit Lal uses imported implants of reputed companies along with his special surgical techniques which result in a successful total knee replacement surgery.
The prosthesis used in joint replacements varies depending on patient factors and cost. The replaced knee can last for upto twenty five years depending on the activity level of the patient. Patients with diseases such as osteoarthritis, hemophilia, gout, rheumatoid arthritis etc. may also require knee replacement.
