This approach is mainly recommended for patients with significant cartilage wear, severe osteoarthritis, or joint deformity. Total knee replacement reduces pain, increases range of motion, and allows a return to daily activities.<\/p><h3>Partial Knee Replacement<\/h3><p>If the damage is limited to a specific area of the knee joint, the surgeon replaces only that section with a prosthesis, preserving the healthy parts of the joint. This method is suitable for patients whose cartilage and bone in other parts of the knee remain intact and whose joint maintains sufficient stability. Advantages include faster recovery, a more natural knee sensation, and less need for long-term physiotherapy.<\/p><p>Overall, the choice between total and partial knee replacement is based on the patient\u2019s age, pain severity, extent of joint damage, and lifestyle.

The key preoperative measures include:<\/p><h3 data-start=\"89\" data-end=\"135\">Consultation with the Orthopedic Surgeon<\/h3><p data-start=\"136\" data-end=\"438\">Before surgery, a thorough consultation with your orthopedic surgeon is held. During this session, you can ask all your questions and express concerns. The doctor will review your medical history, imaging, and test results, and explain the surgical method and the type of prosthesis suitable for you.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"440\" data-end=\"485\">Review of Medical and Medication Status<\/h3><p data-start=\"486\" data-end=\"852\">Inform your doctor about all medications you take, including vitamins and supplements. Certain medications, such as blood thinners (warfarin, aspirin, etc.), should be stopped at least two weeks before surgery to minimize the risk of bleeding. If you have underlying conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure, controlling them before surgery is essential.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"854\" data-end=\"892\">Necessary Tests and Examinations<\/h3><p data-start=\"893\" data-end=\"1121\">Your doctor may order blood tests, ECG, imaging, or other assessments to evaluate your overall health and the condition of your heart and lungs. These evaluations help reduce the risk of complications during and after surgery.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"1123\" data-end=\"1157\">Preparation of Mobility Aids<\/h3><p data-start=\"1158\" data-end=\"1327\">After surgery, you will likely need crutches or a walker for several weeks.
