Knee replacement

The surgery is indicated in all cases where the functionality and anatomy of the knee are severely compromised, and conservative treatments (medications, injections, physical therapy) no longer provide relief.

The main cause leading to prosthetic replacement isprimary osteoarthritis, a degenerative pathology that gradually wears away the cartilage, the natural "cushion" protecting the bones. Other frequent causes include secondary osteoarthritis (often resulting from old traumas, fractures, or neglected ligament injuries) and chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Symptoms indicating the need for a specialist evaluation include severe and disabling pain that limits normal daily activities, such as walking, climbing stairs, or even resting at night. This is often associated with marked swelling, joint stiffness, and a bothersome sensation of giving way. In these situations, the unprotected bone rubs against the other bone, making prosthetic replacement the treatment of choice to regain well-being.

Affrontare un'operazione alle ginocchiaè un passo importante. In particolare, laprotesi ginocchio anzianiè diventata una procedura sicura e di altissima precisione, pensata per restituire autonomia a chi soffre di patologie degenerative legate all'età, garantendo un netto miglioramento nelle attività di tutti i giorni.

Undergoing knee replacement surgery requires a careful orthopedic evaluation, but the long-term benefits are extraordinary. Today, the materials used for knee replacements are highly advanced and biocompatible, designed to perfectly simulate the biomechanics and natural movements of the joint.

There is no reason to fear this process: thanks to continuous advances in pain management and surgical precision, every stage is carefully monitored. A proper knee replacement surgery not only eliminates painful symptoms but allows you to regain the stability you thought was lost, restoring confidence with every step.

One of the most revolutionary aspects of our approach at the center is the rapid recovery protocol. Thanks to modern anesthetic techniques combined with a minimally invasive surgical approach, the patient is able to stand and take their first steps (with the aid of crutches) just a few hours after surgery or the following morning.

The clinic stay is reduced to the absolute minimum, during which a team of specialized physiotherapists immediately initiates the rehabilitation process. Recovery is progressive and steady: within a few weeks, the patient discontinues the use of crutches and can return to driving, resume their work activities, and even practice low-impact sports (such as swimming, cycling, or golf).

The primary objective of complete pain elimination is achieved in almost all cases, accompanied by an excellent recovery of joint mobility.
