What is knee implant?

Knee replacement surgery replaces parts of injured or worn-out knee joints. The surgery can help ease pain and make the knee work better. During the surgery, damaged bone and cartilage are replaced with parts made of metal and plastic.
The medical team at MGM Hospital CBD offers a range of knee implant options, including traditional total knee replacement, partial knee replacement, and minimally invasive knee replacement. They work closely with each patient to determine the best approach based on their individual needs and preferences.

Symptoms

Our healthcare provider can help determine the underlying of your symptoms and recommend appropriate treatment options:

  • Knee pain.
  • Decrease in joint function.
  • Knee instability.
  • Swelling or stiffness in the knee joint.

Causes

I suggest contacting MGM hospital and speaking with a medical professional if you experience any of the following knee implant causes:

  • Infection of the wound: this is usually treated with antibiotics, but occasionally the wound can become deeply infected and require further surgery.
  • Unexpected bleeding into the knee joint.
  • ligament, artery or nerve damage in the area around the knee joint.
  • DVT :clots may form in the leg veins as a result of reduced movement in the leg during the first few weeks after surgery. They can be prevented by using special support stockings, starting to walk or exercise soon after surgery, and by using anticoagulant medicines.

Risks

In the MGM hospital in the CBD, there are numerous amenities for reducing the risk of tummy tucks:

  • Surgeons typically recommend blood-thinning medications to prevent this risk. The most common location for blood clots is in the leg. But they can travel to the lungs and become deadly.
  • Nerve damage:Nerves in the area where the implant is placed can be injured. Nerve damage can cause numbness, weakness and pain.
  • Infection:Infection can occur at the incision site or in the deeper tissue. Surgery is sometimes needed to treat an infection.

Prevention

Prvention advices by our healthcare experties contact us by above number to get more information:

  • Make sure to avoid caffeine, alcohol, excessive sugar, and salt as they can all slow bone healing by depleting your body of nutrients.
  • Unless advised otherwise by your physician, try to get your nutrients from food rather than supplements because food helps the body absorb them better.
