Total Knee Replacement Surgery
In cases where there is complete cartilage loss in the knee joint, irreversible joint damage, and advanced osteoarthritis, a new knee joint is created using metal components.
How Is Knee Replacement Surgery Performed?
The worn-out joint surfaces are cleaned, and metal prosthetic components are placed to fit the thigh and leg bones precisely. A polyethylene component is positioned between the metal parts to prevent friction. The most important goal of the surgery is to ensure that the prosthesis allows comfortable and stable joint movement.
What Are the Advantages of Knee Replacement Surgery?
Conditions such as bow legs, knock knees, and advanced deformities of the knee joint are corrected. With stable and comfortable joint movement, the patient begins to walk without pain. In a well-performed knee replacement, patients may even forget they have undergone prosthetic surgery after some time.
Postoperative Process
In unilateral knee replacement, the patient stays in the hospital for about 5–6 days and begins walking the day after surgery. After approximately two months of physical therapy, the patient can achieve full recovery. In some cases, the hospital stay may be around ten days, with mobilization starting the next day. The physical therapy process generally lasts about three months.
He graduated from Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine. Between 2004 and 2010, he completed his residency training in the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology at Bezmialem Vakıf University Faculty of Medicine, becoming a specialist in Orthopedics and Traumatology.
I am grateful to Prof. Sinan for everything and sincerely thank him for his kindness and attentive care. On July 15, 2016, my left leg was severely fractured in a traffic accident. There was a high risk of my leg becoming shorter, impaired, or leaving me with a limp. After three surgeries performed by Prof. Sinan, I was able to return to my place in the squad in amateur football matches.
I met Mr. Sinan because of my daughter’s scoliosis surgery. We are very lucky that he came into our lives during such a difficult time. His experience in his profession and his sincere care and attention to his patient left us in admiration. I saw in Dr. Sinan what it means to truly love one’s profession. After a 14-hour surgery, my daughter regained her health thanks to Dr. Sinan and his team. I don’t even know how to thank him. I wish Dr. Sinan success in his profession and happiness in his life.
Dr. Sinan, endless thanks for everything—we are truly grateful. Thanks to the surgery you performed, my mother’s shoulder pain, which had been keeping her awake especially at night for a year, has come to an end. You diagnosed the causes of her shoulder pain as frozen shoulder, degeneration, narrowing, and a tear, and you successfully treated all of them with a single operation. No matter how much we thank you, it is not enough—we are deeply grateful. We are so glad to have you. May God grant you strength and good health and never let you be absent from our lives. Wishing you continued success, Dr. Sinan.
