Knee Replacement Surgeon in Madinaguda

Rebuilding the injured or malformed knee aims to keep it from progressing to the point where a knee replacement may be necessary.

Bony anomalies like crooked legs or deformities from improperly healed knee fractures may necessitate reconstruction. In order to fix ligament issues, reconstruction could also be required. Correction of deformities is the most common reconstructive surgery. In the event of a bone tumor, for instance, it may take the form of reconstructing a portion of the knee where the injured portion has to be removed. It is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the abnormal knee biomechanics prior to knee reconstruction. We use specialized long-leg films for this purpose in order to see how weight bearing occurs over the knee. Here are a few instances of this type of surgery:

Hip-Knee-Ankle (HKA) x-rays are unique in that they show the whole body's bony structure below the waist on a single x-ray image. This aids in determining how the patient's whole limb aligns with their standing position. This is accomplished with the use of specialized computer software that precisely measures the leg's deformity in degrees. For a surgeon to determine the extent of a deformity and the specific measures needed to repair it after surgery, HKA is essential. More than three degrees of leg deformity is dangerous because it causes the knee to deteriorate more quickly (think of it as the wear of a vehicle tire whose wheel is misaligned).

Following surgery, the same x-ray is taken to determine the surgical accuracy. The goal of alignment correction should be as near to perfect as feasible.
