Primary Hip &
Knee Arthroplasty

What Is Primary Hip and Knee Arthroplasty?
 

Primary arthroplasty refers to the first-time joint replacement surgery performed to treat damaged or diseased hip and knee joints. It involves replacing worn-out joint surfaces with artificial implants to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve overall quality of life. This procedure is most commonly indicated in advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, or post-traumatic joint damage.

Who Needs Primary Arthroplasty?

  • Patients with severe arthritis or joint degeneration unresponsive to conservative treatments

​

  • Individuals experiencing chronic pain, swelling, and stiffness in hip or knee

​

  • Difficulty performing daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair

​

  • Structural joint deformities or alignment issues

​

  • Reduced quality of life despite medication, physiotherapy, or injections

Our Approach to Arthroplasty

Comprehensive Evaluation

  • Medical history, joint examination, and mobility assessment

  • Imaging (X-ray, CT, or MRI) to plan surgical technique and implant choice


Customized Surgical Planning

  • Tailored to age, lifestyle, joint condition, and bone structure

  • Choice of implants (metal, ceramic, or polyethylene components)
     

Surgical Procedure

  • Hip Arthroplasty: Replaces the femoral head and acetabulum

  • Knee Arthroplasty: Replaces femoral, tibial, and sometimes patellar surfaces

  • Performed using minimally invasive, computer-assisted, or robotic techniques when available
     

Post-Operative Care & Rehabilitation

  • Early mobilization, physiotherapy, and structured home exercises

  • Regular follow-ups to ensure implant stability and joint function
