Knee pain and stiffness can drastically diminish quality of life—whether from osteoarthritis, trauma, or wear-and-tear. Dr. Vikas Singh, a leading orthopedic surgeon, specializes in knee replacement surgery, helping patients reclaim pain-free movement.
What Is Knee Replacement?
This procedure replaces damaged joint surfaces with artificial implants (prostheses), eliminating bone-on-bone friction.
Causes & Indications:
- End-stage osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Post-traumatic joint damage
- Significant pain and restricted walking
Symptoms Addressed:
- Severe pain during walking or climbing stairs
- Limited range of motion
- Joint swelling and deformity
Diagnosis & Planning:
Patient history, physical exams, and imaging help Dr. Vikas Singh assess deformity and alignment, followed by customized surgical planning—including implant choice and alignment technique.
Treatment Approach:
- Pre-op optimization: Physiotherapy and weight management
- Surgery: Partial or total knee replacement under anesthesia; careful bone preparation and prosthesis implantation
- Post-op rehab: Early mobilization, guided exercise, and controlled weight-bearing
- Follow-up: Regular checks to monitor recovery and joint function
Benefits & Risks:
✅ Pain relief, improved mobility, long-term joint stability
⚠️ Risk of infection, blood clots, implant wear—but minimized with Dr. Singh’s protocol
Conclusion:
Knee replacement under Dr. Vikas Singh’s care restores independence and enriches life. His personalized, evidence-based approach ensures optimal outcomes.
