Hinge Knee Replacement

Home  /  Hinge Knee Replacement

Hinge Knee Replacement

Hinge knee replacement, also known as constrained knee replacement, is a specialized type of knee replacement used in cases of severe instability or ligament damage.

1
Preparation

Before surgery, anaesthesia is administered to ensure the patient's comfort.

2
Stabilization

The knee implant includes a hinge mechanism that provides stability in multiple directions, preventing excessive motion.

3
Indications

Hinge knee replacement may be recommended for patients with significant ligamentous laxity or those who have undergone previous unsuccessful knee replacements.

Benefits of
Surgery

The hinge mechanism in the knee implant provides enhanced stability and prevents abnormal motion, reducing the risk of implant dislocation and instability.Hinge knee replacement restores stability and function to the knee joint, allowing patients to perform daily activities with greater ease and comfort. Hinge knee replacement is particularly beneficial for patients with severe ligament damage, joint deformity, or instability, where traditional knee replacement techniques may not provide adequate stability or function.

Rehabilitation

Comprehensive rehabilitation is essential for optimizing outcomes and restoring function following hinge knee replacement. Physical therapy focuses on strengthening muscles, improving joint stability, and maximizing range of motion, while also addressing any residual weakness or stiffness.

Monitoring

Patients undergoing hinge knee replacement require close monitoring for potential complications such as implant loosening, infection, or instability. Regular follow-up visits with the surgeon are scheduled to assess joint function, monitor implant stability, and address any concerns promptly.

Lifestyle Modification

Patients may need to make lifestyle modifications, such as avoiding high-impact activities or maintaining a healthy weight, to protect the newly replaced knee joint and optimize long-term outcomes. Adherence to prescribed activity restrictions and post-operative guidelines is essential for minimizing complications and promoting successful recovery.
