DEFINITIVE SURGERY FOR KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS – FAST RECOVERY AND WALKING WITHIN 48 HOURS POST-OP

According to Dr. Cao Manh Lieu, an orthopedic surgery specialist with over 40 years of experience: “A successful knee replacement surgery must meet two essential criteria:

• Ensuring the correct alignment and fit between the artificial joint surfaces and the bone structure.
• Maintaining a natural relationship between the replacement parts of the knee, such as the alignment between the patella and femoral condyle, and between the femoral condyle and the artificial tibial plateau.”

The knee joint, the largest in the body, bears weight and plays a critical role in mobility. A successful knee replacement surgery significantly improves pain, corrects limb deformities, and allows patients to move with ease.

Choosing a reputable facility for knee replacement surgery is paramount to the success of the procedure, and based on three key criteria:

• Experienced surgeons. Highly skilled surgeons help minimize risks, ensure knee stability, and enable patients to begin walking in a short time.
• Sterile operating room environment. This ensures a sterile environment to reduce infection risk during and after surgery.
• Comprehensive postoperative care and physical rehabilitation: A structured recovery plan enables patients to regain strength and function swiftly.
