Knee Replacement Q & A
What is a knee replacement?
Knee replacement surgery, also referred to as knee arthroplasty, helps to repair a damaged knee. The procedure involves removing parts of a compromised knee joint and replacing them with artificial components.
In many cases, a knee replacement is necessary due to advanced arthritis, which causes degeneration of joint cartilage and creates inflammation in the knee. If you continue to experience pain and mobility issues despite trying more conservative treatments, you might need a knee replacement surgery.
How does knee replacement surgery work?
Dr. Mahmood and Dr. Badri use the Mako robot system to perform knee replacement surgery at St. Joseph’s Hospital. The technology employs a CT scan to provide you with a personalized 3D plan for remodeling your knee. The Mako software system also allows your surgeon to prepare a precise and comprehensive strategy for the surgery.
The actual procedure involves a robotic arm that removes diseased bone and tissue. Dr. Mahmood or Dr. Badri guides the arm with a computer interface so he can position implants or structural materials to help support or rebuild the knee joint.
Dr. Mahmood and Dr. Badri use the Mako method to perform both full and partial knee replacement surgeries.
What results can I expect from knee replacement surgery?
After your surgery, your doctor and his team monitor the healing process. Recovery time is different for each person, but you can expect to recover within a month. After roughly two weeks, you can expect to be back to most of your normal activities.
Dr. Mahmood or Dr. Badri may also recommend specific physical therapy exercises to help expedite your recovery.
Why should I consider knee replacement surgery?
With the Mako method, knee replacement surgery is more effective than ever before, because the technology allows for a more precise view of the damage. It also enables your doctor to preserve healthy parts of the knee.
The experience of Dr. Mahmood and Dr. Badri as trusted surgeons ensures that you’ll make a full, safe recovery, and makes it possible to regain full function of your knee in just a few short weeks.
