About one million Americans get a total knee replacement surgery annually. A knee replacement surgery is proven to help you live a better life free of pain and regain mobility. As of now, roughly five million Americans live with well-functioning implants. Dr. Pavel Muradov offers Katy total knee replacement through traditional and minimally invasive knee replacement options at Integrity Orthopedics. Dr. Muradov speaks fluent English, Spanish, and Russian.
What Is Total Knee Replacement?
Total knee replacement / total knee arthroplasty is a surgical procedure involving the removal of damaged parts of your knee and making artificial replacements. Dr. Muradov performs a total knee arthroplasty that alleviates knee pain and restores mobility.
Latest knee replacement procedures involve removing a few millimeters of the inflamed surface of your shinbone, thigh bone, and knee cap. Your provider resurfaces the treated area with a combination of approved plastic and metal. A majority of the ligaments and bones remain preserved.
Who Needs A Total Knee Replacement?
Dr. Muradov explores all non-surgical treatments before opting for surgery. Your knee joint treatment plan may comprise:
· Medications
· Physical therapy
· Injection therapy
· Weight management
Dr. Muradov checks out your qualification for knee replacement surgery if your pain is resilient to conservative treatments. The procedure is best for averting pain caused by arthritis (post-traumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis), the primary reason for total knee replacement.
Knee Replacement Procedures
At Integrity Orthopedics, Dr. Muradov offers specialized replacements like total knee replacement, partial knee replacement, and minimally invasive knee replacement.
1) Minimally invasive knee replacement involves making a small incision to avoid damaging quadriceps muscles and soft tissue. Dr. Muradov specializes in minimally invasive knee replacement techniques.
2) Partial knee replacement involves a compartment of your knee and protection of your natural joint. Dr. Muradov uses the Mako® robotic arm to complete partial knee replacements for qualified clients. About 5% to 10% of patients with arthritis qualify.
3) Total knee replacement involves the removal of cartilage and bone matter from all parts of the joint. Your doctor replaces the parts with plastic and metal components. To leave the bone intact, Dr. Muradov uses bone-preserving techniques.
Recovery After A Total Knee Replacement
Recovery varies based on the type of procedure and preoperative condition. Dr. Muradov clarifies what you should expect from wound care, pain management, physical therapy, and rehabilitation tailored to meet your needs.
