Additional information
1. Procedure DescriptionTotal Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a surgical procedure designed to replace a severely damaged knee joint with high-grade artificial components to eliminate chronic pain and restore mobility. The surgeon removes the worn-out cartilage and bone from the distal femur and proximal tibia, replacing them with metal alloy surfaces and a durable plastic spacer.
Surgery Duration: Approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Technique: Standard manual precision technique using specialized orthopedic alignment guides to ensure proper joint mechanics and implant longevity.
Clinic Highlights: Our facility specializes in high-durability implants and personalized ligament balancing to provide a natural feel and long-term joint stability.
2. For Who (Patient Suitability)Target Patients: Individuals with end-stage knee osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic joint damage that limits walking and daily activities.
Requirements: A recent weight-bearing X-ray and/or MRI (within 6 months) to assess the degree of joint space narrowing and bone deformity.
Contraindications: Not recommended for patients with active infections, severe vascular disease in the limb, or those with a BMI that exceeds safety thresholds for anesthesia.
3. Post-Operation Care & RecommendationsHospital Stay: 3 to 5 nights for clinical monitoring, pain control, and early mobilization.
Recovery Timeline: Patients are encouraged to stand and walk with a walker within 24 hours of surgery; most achieve significant independence within 4 to 6 weeks.
Travel Readiness: Patients should remain in-country for at least 14 days post-surgery for wound checks and to complete a "fit-to-fly" assessment.
Preparation: Pre-operative physical therapy (pre-hab) is recommended to strengthen the quadriceps and improve post-surgical outcomes.
Note: The above package includes standard services only and does not cover patients with complications or medical conditions that fall outside the hospital’s specified terms and conditions. Additional charges may apply, and prices are subject to change without prior notice.
