Total knee replacement is the most effective and radical solution for patients suffering from advanced cartilage degeneration (osteoarthritis of the knee). At JOMEDIX, we transform chronic pain into natural movement using the latest global technologies.
When is joint replacement the only solution?
We do not recommend surgery immediately, but it becomes urgently necessary in the following cases:
- Nighttime pain: Pain that wakes you up from sleep and does not respond to painkillers.
- Movement limitation: Extreme difficulty in fully bending or extending the knee.
- Leg deformity: Bowing of the legs inwards or outwards due to bone erosion.
- to fail Conservative treatments Lack of response to oil injections and physical therapy.
💎 Joints that last a lifetime: We exclusively use American and European joints (such as Zimmer and Stryker) made of titanium and high-density polyethylene, which are expected to last for more than 20-25 years.
How is the procedure performed in Jordanian hospitals?
The procedure takes approximately 60-90 minutes under general or spinal anesthesia (the latter being safer for older adults). The surgeon precisely removes the damaged parts and replaces them with an artificial joint, preserving the collateral ligaments to ensure knee stability.
Post-surgery: “Accelerated Recovery” program”
We apply the Enhanced Recovery protocol:
- Walking: The patient begins walking with the help of a walker 4-6 hours after the operation.
- Pain: We use “multimodal pain relief” technology to ensure patient comfort.
- Departure: Most patients leave the hospital within 48 hours.
