استبدال الركبة

This surgery is a painful process that needs anesthesia. The type of anesthesia depends on your preference. It may be general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia. General anesthesia makes you unconscious whereas spinal anesthesia leaves you conscious but unable to feel the pain from your waist down. 

To avoid post-surgical infection, you will be provided an intravenous antibiotic before, during and after the surgery procedure. The doctor may also give a nerve block near the knee to numb it. It will wear off slowly after the procedure.

Thereafter your surgeon will replace the artificial joint. The last step will be closing the incision. Before that, the doctor ensures the proper functioning by bending the knee. This surgery takes close to 2 hours.
