The knee joint is one of the most load-bearing and mobile joints in the human body. Over time, serious damage may occur in the knee joint due to aging, trauma, rheumatic diseases, or conditions such as osteoarthritis. This damage can significantly limit the patient’s ability to walk, climb stairs, or even perform simple daily activities. At this point, knee replacement surgery offers an effective and safe solution to improve patients' quality of life.
Healme Clinic stands out in knee replacement surgeries with its advanced technology, expert medical team, and personalized treatment planning. Patient comfort is prioritized before, during, and after the operation.
Knee replacement surgery (total knee arthroplasty) involves the removal of damaged bone and cartilage structures in the knee joint and replacing them with an artificial joint (prosthesis). These prostheses are usually made of metal, ceramic, or durable plastic materials and are designed to mimic the functions of the knee.
Knee replacement surgery is generally recommended in the following cases:
Knee prostheses are applied in different types depending on the patient's age, level of activity, and the extent of joint damage.
This is the most commonly performed procedure. Both the inner and outer parts of the knee joint are completely replaced. It is usually recommended for elderly patients.
Only the damaged portion of the knee joint is replaced. The healthy parts are preserved. It is less invasive and allows for a quicker recovery.
This is a secondary surgery performed when a previously placed knee prosthesis fails or becomes loose.
A thorough preoperative evaluation process is essential. This process significantly increases the chance of success and helps reduce potential risks.
An orthopedic specialist listens to the patient’s complaints and performs a physical examination. Imaging methods such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans are used to assess the extent of damage in the knee.
General health status is analyzed, including heart, lung, and kidney functions. The anesthesiologist evaluates the patient for potential complications during and after surgery.
Patients are informed about the process before surgery. Exercises are recommended to strengthen the muscles and accelerate recovery. Healme Clinic actively involves patients in every stage by ensuring they are well-informed.
The surgery is usually performed under general or spinal anesthesia and takes approximately 1 to 2 hours.
At Healme Clinic, modern surgical techniques and robot-assisted systems are used to increase surgical precision and improve success rates.
After surgery, a carefully planned recovery period begins to ensure the patient's comfort and functional gain.
Patients typically stay in the hospital for 3–4 days after surgery. On the first day, walking and mobilization exercises begin. Physical therapists create personalized programs for each patient.
Regular home exercises greatly accelerate the healing process. Full functional recovery usually occurs within 6 to 8 weeks. Healme Clinic provides individualized physical therapy and rehabilitation support after surgery.
Modern knee prostheses can last 15–20 years or even longer. The lifespan of the prosthesis depends on several factors:
