The Concept of Knee Replacement Surgery
Knee replacement surgery involves substituting damaged or deteriorated components of the knee joint. This procedure aims to alleviate pain and improve the knee’s functionality. The procedure’s goal is to alleviate pain and improve the knee’s functionality. During the surgery, our surgeon replaces the damaged bone and cartilage with artificial components made of metal and plastic.
To determine if you can undergo a knee replacement, our surgeon will assess your knee’s range of motion, stability, and strength. X-rays are utilized to evaluate the degree of damage.
The appropriate type of artificial joint and surgical method will rely on various factors, including your age, weight, activity level, knee dimensions, and overall health.

Indications for Total Knee Replacement
Several conditions can lead to the consideration of total knee replacement, including:
Knee Dislocation: This condition occurs when the knee joint bones are forced out of their normal position, often due to trauma. A knee dislocation can result in significant pain, swelling, and damage to ligaments and blood vessels. In cases where conservative treatment fails to restore stability and function, total knee replacement may be necessary.
Fractures of the Patella: The patella, or kneecap, can fracture due to direct impact or falls. Severe fractures that disrupt the alignment of the knee joint and fail to heal properly can necessitate total knee replacement to restore functionality and alleviate pain.
Chondromalacia Patella: This condition involves the softening and deterioration of the cartilage beneath the patella, leading to pain and inflammation. When conservative treatments do not relieve symptoms, total knee replacement may be indicated to replace the damaged cartilage and restore knee function.
Knee Injury: Various knee injuries, such as ligament tears or cartilage damage, can lead to chronic pain and instability. If these injuries result in ongoing symptoms that affect daily activities, total knee replacement might be the best option for restoring mobility and reducing discomfort.
ACL Tears: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is crucial for maintaining knee stability. A tear can occur during sports or due to sudden movements, leading to pain and functional limitations. If ACL reconstruction fails or if there is significant joint degeneration, a total knee replacement may be required to restore knee function.
Knee Fracture: Fractures around the knee joint, whether from trauma or falls, can cause significant pain and mobility issues. When fractures are severe and do not heal adequately, total knee replacement may be the best option for restoring joint stability and function.
Knee Sports Injuries: Athletes are particularly vulnerable to knee injuries, including ligament tears, meniscus injuries, and fractures. Persistent pain and instability from these injuries may necessitate total knee replacement to enable a return to sports and physical activity.
Knee Surgery Dubai – The Procedure

Our orthopaedic surgeon begins total knee replacement surgery by making an incision in the knee and shifting the patella (kneecap) to the side. If bone spurs, often seen in osteoarthritis, are present, they are removed.
Next, the surgeon removes the two menisci located between the femur and tibia, along with the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). In some cases, the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) may also be removed, although certain types of knee replacements allow for its retention.
During the main portion of the procedure, the surgeon carefully cuts away cartilage and some bone from the upper tibia and lower femur. This involves removing the femoral condyles, the two rounded ends of the femur. The exposed surfaces of the tibia and femur are then capped with metal implants to recreate the joint surfaces. The femoral component is formulated to replicate the shape of the original condyles. If the kneecap has also been damaged, its underside may be replaced with a polyethylene (plastic) implant.
Finally, the surgeon repairs the layers of tissue using dissolvable sutures, closes the skin incision with sutures or staples, and wraps a bandage around the knee before transferring the patient to recovery.

Recovery and Results
For the majority of individuals, knee replacement surgery leads to significant pain relief, enhanced mobility, and an overall improved quality of life. Typically, knee replacements are designed to last a minimum of 15 to 20 years.
Once you’ve recovered, you can participate in a range of low-impact activities, including walking, swimming, golfing, and biking. However, it is advisable to steer clear of high-impact exercises like jogging, as well as sports that involve jumping or contact.
