Severe and chronic joint pain in the hip or knee, often caused by arthritis, can make simple activities like walking, climbing stairs, or even sleeping incredibly difficult. When non-surgical treatments no longer provide relief, a hip or knee replacement surgery can be a life-changing solution.
Hip and knee replacement is a highly successful procedure designed to replace a damaged joint with a durable, artificial implant. Dr. Mohammad Khalid is an expert in these surgeries, using proven techniques to reduce pain, restore proper joint function, and help you return to an active, more comfortable lifestyle.
This surgery is for individuals with advanced joint damage caused by conditions like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. During the procedure, the damaged cartilage and bone are removed and replaced with a high-quality prosthetic implant. This new joint is designed to move smoothly, mimicking the function of a healthy joint and providing significant, long-lasting pain relief.
Good candidates are typically individuals with chronic, severe joint pain and stiffness from conditions like arthritis that limit daily activities and have not responded to non-surgical treatments.
Modern artificial joints are very durable. With today's technology, most hip and knee implants can be expected to last for 20 years or even longer, depending on the patient's activity level.
You will experience some pain after the surgery, but we use modern pain management techniques to keep you as comfortable as possible. The goal is that this temporary post-surgical pain leads to long-term relief from chronic arthritis pain.
The hospital stay is usually short, typically ranging from 1 to 3 days. Our team focuses on getting you up and moving safely as soon as possible to begin your recovery.
The primary goal is to relieve the chronic pain caused by joint damage. A successful joint replacement will also restore your mobility and function, allowing you to return to a more active and comfortable lifestyle.
