Causes of Osteoarthritis & Risk Factor
Correctly called as osteoarthritis is actually a degenerative disease. The Cartilage of the knee joint slowly wears with time and age, this leads to exposing off the raw bone ends which causes friction and hence pain.
Due to the ongoing reparative process of the body, there occurs formation of the osteophytes which restricts the motion and leads to deformity as well. These changes increase with age. Some people are also genetically predisposed to early osteoarthritis. Overweight or obese individuals also have an early onset of symptoms. Apart from these, inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis can also lead to joint derangement. Ill treated intra-articular injuries also can lead to early osteoarthritis.
Prevention of Osteoarthritis and Avoiding Knee Replacement Surgery
Dr DP Sharma is knee replacement surgeon in UP(Uttar Pradesh), but he knows that no one wants to go for such a major surgery.The joint pain specialist in agra tells that keeping healthy habits like good lifestyle, controlling obesity, proper sitting habits and good exercise and physiotherapy can avoid early knee pain and arthritis. In early cases, sometimes knee injections also work in some patients. There are some small surgeries which we can do to avoid the total knee replacement, like the osteotomies in which we correct the alignment of the weight bearing axis and slow down the damage.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE
Total knee replacement surgery involves exposing the damaged knee joint by any of the indicated approach, and then either starting with the inferior bone (Tibia) or the upper bone(Femur) First.
Then appropriate cuts are made which are decided by the axis of both the bones. The osteophytes are removed, the femur sizing is done, posterior releasing is done for the flexion deformity.
Soft tissue balancing is done, flexion and extension gaps are balanced. After satisfactory outcomes, the trial implants are inserted and checked. Stability in full range of motion of the implant is checked and patellar tracking is checked.
At this stage patella may or may not be resurfaced depending upon the condition. After everything seems to be satisfactory, wound lavage is done and the final implants taken and inserted with the help of cement.
Wound lavage is done, an infiltrate to decrease the pain in postoperative period is inserted. Layered closure is done.
PRECAUTIONS AND RECOVERY POST OPERATIVELY
Total knee replacement nowadays is a safe procedure. The patients are allowed walking the very next day and physiotherapy is started just after the operation. The stitches are usually removed at about 14 days from the day of surgery. Initially the walking is supportive with the help of stick or walker, which is tapered from 2-4 weeks. The knee replacement recovery time is usually 4-12 weeks depending upon the nature of rehab programme.
