The Joint Clinic-Dr(Prof) Amite Pankaj Aggarwal

What happens to the natural kneecap (patella) during knee replacement surgery? During knee replacement, the natural kneecap is generally not completely removed. The surgeon reshapes the underside of the patella and may place a plastic component over it if required. The decision depends on the patient's knee condition, cartilage damage, age, activity level, and surgical assessment. The goal is to restore smooth movement and proper tracking of the kneecap after replacement. For expert knee replacement evaluation, consult Dr Amite Pankaj Aggarwal, an experienced Best Knee Replacement Surgeon in Delhi. He assesses the condition of the entire knee and recommends an appropriate surgical approach for each patient. 1 day ago Call now
