MedNice: Dr. Eshraghi, thank you for joining us. What is total knee replacement surgery?
Dr. Eshraghi: Thank you for having me. Total knee replacement is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or worn-out knee joint is replaced with artificial components. It’s typically performed on patients suffering from severe osteoarthritis, trauma, or other degenerative joint diseases.
MedNice: What are the signs that a patient may need this surgery?
Dr. Eshraghi: Chronic knee pain that limits daily activity, joint stiffness, and swelling that doesn’t improve with conservative treatments like medication or physical therapy are the main indicators. If walking, climbing stairs, or even resting becomes painful, surgery may be necessary.
MedNice: How is the surgery performed?
Dr. Eshraghi: Under spinal or general anesthesia, we remove the damaged bone and cartilage from the knee and replace it with prosthetic components made of metal and high-grade plastic. The new joint mimics the natural movement of the knee and significantly reduces pain.
MedNice: What is the success rate?
Dr. Eshraghi: It’s a highly successful procedure with a success rate above 90%. Most patients experience a dramatic improvement in mobility and quality of life.
MedNice: What does recovery involve?
Dr. Eshraghi: Hospital stay is usually 2 to 3 days. Physical therapy starts immediately after surgery and continues for several weeks. Patients generally resume daily activities within 6 to 12 weeks.
MedNice: How long do knee implants last?
Dr. Eshraghi: With proper care, modern implants can last 15 to 25 years or more. Lifestyle and activity level play a big role in implant longevity.
MedNice: How do you ensure patient satisfaction?
Dr. Eshraghi: We provide personalized care before, during, and after surgery. Our team includes physiotherapists and rehab specialists to support recovery. We also educate patients to make informed decisions.
MedNice: Any advice for people considering knee replacement?
Dr. Eshraghi: Don’t delay treatment if your quality of life is affected. Early consultation helps avoid complications and improves outcomes.
