Bilateral total knee replacement is a surgical procedure performed to address severe arthritis or damage in both knees. During the procedure, the damaged surfaces of the knee joints are removed and replaced with artificial implants made of metal, plastic, or a combination of materials. This replacement restores the smooth movement of the knee joint, reduces pain, and allows for better weight-bearing activities.
This procedure offers several advantages for individuals with severe arthritis in both knees. Firstly, it can provide significant pain relief and improve mobility, allowing patients to resume regular activities with greater ease. Additionally, bilateral total knee replacement can lead to better alignment and stability of the knees, reducing the risk of falls and other injuries.
Mr. R. Sreenivasa Raju from Anantapur successfully underwent Bilateral Total Knee Replacement Surgery at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. Venuthurla Ram Mohan Reddy, Sr. Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Lower Limb Services, Hip and Knee Surgery, Clinical Director.
