What is Knee Arthroplasty?

Knee arthroplasty, also known as knee replacement surgery, is a highly effective surgical procedure performed to relieve pain and restore function in severely diseased or damaged knee joints. This procedure involves removing the damaged bone and cartilage from the thigh bone (femur), shin bone (tibia), and kneecap (patella), and replacing it with an artificial joint made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics, and polymers.

Dr. Khaleel Abdulla, a leading orthopedic knee and joint surgeon in Perinthelmanna, Kerala, specializes in both partial and total knee replacement procedures. His expertise ensures precision in restoring knee alignment and movement, significantly improving patients' quality of life.

Dr. Khaleel Abdulla leads the first centre in Perinthalmanna to introduce Robotic Assisted Knee Replacement surgery, setting a new benchmark in advanced orthopedic care in Malappuram, Kerala.

Why is Knee Arthroplasty Performed?

Knee arthroplasty is typically recommended for patients suffering from:

1. Severe osteoarthritis
2. Rheumatoid arthritis
3. Post-traumatic arthritis
4. Deformities in the knee joint
5. Chronic knee pain and stiffness that limits daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, or even resting

When conservative treatments such as medications, physical therapy, or injections fail to provide relief, knee replacement surgery becomes a reliable option for lasting results.

Recovery After Knee Arthroplasty

Knee arthroplasty generally requires a short hospital stay. At KIMS Alshifa Hospital, Dr. Khaleel Abdulla and his team provide a comprehensive post-surgical care program, focusing on pain control, early movement, and structured rehabilitation.

What to Expect During Recovery:

Initial recovery period: 4–6 weeks for most patients Use of walker or crutches: Usually required for a few weeks Physical therapy: Begins within 24 hours after surgery and continues for several weeks Swelling and stiffness: Managed with medications, rest, and guided exercises Return to routine activities: Typically within 6–12 weeks, depending on individual progress Patients are encouraged to actively participate in their rehabilitation program under the guidance of in-house physiotherapists and regular monitoring by Dr. Khaleel Abdulla. This approach helps restore strength, flexibility, and mobility efficiently and safely.
