Knee Replacement Surgery
Knee pain can significantly affect mobility, independence, and quality of life. At Artemis Hospital, we offer advanced knee replacement solutions using modern surgical techniques, high-quality implants, and personalized rehabilitation programs to help patients regain movement and live pain-free.
What Is Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a procedure in which damaged or worn-out parts of the knee joint are replaced with artificial implants. These implants replicate the natural movement of the knee, relieving pain and restoring function.
The surgery is recommended when non-surgical treatments such as medication, physiotherapy, or injections no longer provide relief.
Who Needs Knee Replacement Surgery?
You may be advised to consider knee replacement if you experience:
Severe knee pain during walking, standing, or climbing stairs
Chronic stiffness or swelling in the knee joint
Difficulty in daily activities despite medication or physiotherapy
Knee deformity (bowed or knock-knee appearance)
Poor sleep due to persistent knee pain
Advanced osteoarthritis or joint damage
Conditions Treated
Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Post-traumatic arthritis
Severe knee injury or cartilage damage
Types of Knee Replacement Surgery
- Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

- Partial Knee Replacement
Only the damaged portion of the knee is replaced, preserving healthy bone and tissue.
- Revision Knee Replacement
Performed when a previous knee replacement implant fails or wears out.
- Bilateral Knee Replacement
Performed when a previous knee replacement implant fails or wears out.
