What is Primary Knee Replacement?

Primary knee replacement refers to the first-time surgical replacement of a damaged or arthritic knee joint with artificial implants. Unlike revision surgeries that correct earlier procedures, primary knee replacement is done when no prior replacement has been performed. According to Dr. Karthik Gudaru, one of Hyderabad’s most trusted orthopedic surgeons for primary knee surgery, the procedure is ideal for patients with moderate to severe joint damage that hasn’t responded to medication, physiotherapy, or injections.

The goal of primary knee replacement is to restore function, relieve pain, and improve joint mobility by replacing the worn-out surfaces of the knee with durable, precision-fit implants. Whether due to osteoarthritis, injury, or degenerative conditions, this surgery offers long-term relief and improved quality of life—especially when performed by a specialist like Dr. Karthik Gudaru in Hyderabad, Telangana.


How to Know that You May Need a Primary Knee Replacement?

If your knee pain or stiffness is affecting your ability to move, walk, or enjoy daily activities—especially at the early or moderate stages of arthritis—you might be a candidate for primary knee replacement. It’s not just about getting rid of pain; it’s about regaining control over your lifestyle with the right surgical intervention at the right time.
