Types of Knee Replacement Surgery Offered
1. Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement
Robotic-assisted knee replacement uses computer-guided precision to plan implant size, alignment and soft-tissue balance before surgery. This reduces variability and can improve implant longevity compared to purely manual techniques.
2. Conventional (Manual) Knee Replacement
Conventional knee replacement remains a safe, well-established option and is recommended based on the patient's anatomy, bone quality, and overall health, following a thorough clinical evaluation.
3. Partial Knee Replacement
For patients whose arthritis is limited to one part of the knee, partial knee replacement can preserve healthy bone and ligaments while still relieving pain, subject to suitability on examination and imaging.
4. Revision Knee Replacement
For patients whose previous knee implant has failed, loosened, or become infected, Dr. Kazi also performs revision joint replacement surgery, a technically demanding procedure requiring specialised training.
5. Knee Trauma & Fracture Surgery
Fractures around the knee joint, common after falls or accidents, often require urgent surgical fixation. Dr. Kazi provides emergency trauma and fracture management to restore mobility quickly and safely.
