You need to know before considering knee replacement surgery

What to expect when preparing for knee surgery?

Before surgery, our knee specialists will advise the patient to undergo a thorough medical history and physical examination to ensure that the patient's health is stable and in good condition. One night before surgery, we recommend patients avoid food consumption. However, they can follow a liquid diet with a healthy diet of fresh juice and lots of water.

Make sure your home is ready to recover from your surgery. Hire someone who can take good care of you and opt for a ground floor room as your room as the stairs will be restricted after surgery as long as you keep your favorite books, television Remote and do not fully recover items such as phones within an accessible distance.

What to expect on the day of surgery?

The patient is first placed under spinal and epidural anesthesia, with mild depression enabling them to rest throughout the procedure. Once the patient falls asleep, knee surgery begins. Our best surgeon will make a small incision in the knee area to remove damaged surfaces from the joint area and make it fit the prosthetic knee.

Once the prosthesis is safely placed in your knee, Total Knee Replacement in Ahmedabad closes the incision through sutures or surgical staples.

What to expect during a rehabilitation program?

After the completion of the surgery, the patient is taken to a recovery room, where medical experts monitor your health for any dangerous signs of complications. Once the patient attains a stable state, he/she is transferred to the hospital room. A physical therapist will be appointed immediately after your surgery to guide you through various exercise programs to recover quickly.

The team at Nidhi Hospital is dedicated to the overall well being of the patient, and therefore, we are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding knee replacement surgery.
