What is Total Knee Replacement?

Is a surgical procedure that permanently connects two adjacent vertebrae using,screws, rods, and plates to eliminate motion between the vertebrae. This procedure treats spinal instability, degenerative disc disease, or spinal deformity at specific level of the spine.

  • Spinal instability or spondylolisthesis (vertebrae slipping forward)
  • Failed conservative treatment (physiotherapy, medications, injections)
  • Herniated disc with nerve compression not responding to other treatments
  • Spinal stenosis causing severe neurological symptoms
  • Traumatic spine injury requiring stabilization
  • Spinal deformity affecting vertebral level

These may be signs and symptoms requiring knee replacement:

  • Chronic lower back pain radiating to legs (sciatica)
  • Numbness and tingling in legs, feet, or arms
  • Muscle weakness in lower extremities
  • Difficulty walking or standing for extended periods
  • Loss of bladder or bowel control (emergency symptom)
