Knee Replacement in Hyderabad
Knee replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, uses metal or plastic implants to treat injured knee joints. It’s a routine operation that works wonders at easing pain and stiffness brought on by arthritis or other injuries. Dr. Ram Pradeep Konakalla is a renowned knee replacement surgeon with 8 years of experience in treating knee related problems. After having a knee replacement and recovering from it, you can resume your regular activities and daily responsibilities.
It is recommended that those who have osteoarthritis get this procedure. These people typically have knee discomfort, which makes it difficult for them to walk, run, climb stairs, and get out of a chair. During this treatment, the shinbone, thigh bone, and knee cap’s deteriorated cartilage and bone are removed and replaced with a prosthetic (artificial joint). High-grade plastics, metal alloys, and polymers are used to create this artificial joint.
