Understanding Knee Replacement

What Is Knee Replacement?

Knee replacement is a surgical procedure in which the affected parts of the knee joint are replaced, when clinically appropriate, to help restore movement and reduce discomfort. The decision to proceed is based on a detailed clinical evaluation of the joint.

Both primary and revision knee replacement are part of the hospital's orthopaedic services. Each case is assessed individually by the treating medical team, who determine the most suitable approach based on the patient's condition and overall clinical picture.
