Does every knee pain result in knee replacement surgery? At what stage does knee replacement surgery become a definitive solution, and who is it suitable for? The knee joint is one of the most critical mechanisms in our body, carrying our entire weight and enabling our daily freedom of movement. However, due to aging, excess weight, genetic factors, or past joint traumas, the cartilage tissue in the knee wears down over time. This condition, commonly known as "knee osteoarthritis" (gonarthrosis), progresses, causing patients to have difficulty squatting, climbing stairs, and even walking on flat ground. While medications, physical therapy, weight control, or injections to the knee (PRP, stem cells, hyaluronic acid) may provide relief in the early stages, in advanced stages where the cartilage is completely gone, the only permanent solution is knee replacement surgery. In this video, Orthopedics and Traumatology Specialist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serkan Erkuş explains in detail at what stage knee replacement surgery becomes unavoidable, how the decision for surgery is made, and the surgical processes involved. 🔍 What Critical Questions Will You Find Answers to in This Video? 1. In Exactly When Does Knee Replacement Become Necessary?

While it is true that prostheses have a certain lifespan, how is the decision for a prosthesis made in young patients or very elderly individuals? Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serkan Erkuş is changing the perception of age. 4. What is the Difference Between Partial (Unicondylar) Knee Replacement and Total Knee Replacement? The differences, advantages, and patient-specific selection criteria for local replacements (applied when only one area of ​​the knee is worn) and total replacement surgeries (where the entire joint is replaced). 5.
