Patient Relations
Serious knee disease or injury has a significant negative impact on a person’s life. Treating this problem can dramatically improve the quality of life for not only that person but for the family and friends.
Knee replacement surgery replaces parts of injured or worn-out knee joints to ease pain, improve mobility and enhance the quality of life. Before the surgery, a surgeon checks the knee's range of motion, stability, strength and the extent of damage. The right artificial joints and surgical techniques depend on several factors like age, weight, activity level, knee size and shape, and overall health.
“The damaged bone and cartilage are replaced with artificial joints made of metal and plastic and can last at least 15 to 20 years,” said Dr. Babiker Sulaiman, Orthopedist and Physician Manager, Al Hasa Medical Services Department. “After recovery, the patient is able to engage in various low-impact activities, such as walking, swimming, golfing or biking.”
Total-Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery is often the most effective option for people with severe pain in their knee joints, who cannot walk without pain or who have not responded to other treatments.
Our dedicated orthopedic team at the Al-Hasa Health Center take that seriously and as a result in 2023 doubled the number of total knee replacement surgeries conducted through the MDF Back Referral Program, reflecting their unwavering commitment to serve more patients while maintaining the highest standard of quality and safety.
