Knee Replacement Surgery is a procedure that has transformed thousands of lives. It allows patients to reclaim their mobility, reduce chronic pain, and regain their independence.

What is knee replacement surgery and when is it recommended?
Knee replacement, also known as Total Knee Arthroplasty, consists of replacing damaged joint surfaces with a prosthesis made of high-durability metal, ceramic, and polymer.
This surgery is recommended when knee pain is constant, severe, and limits daily activities, even after trying conservative treatments like medication, physical therapy, or injections.
Symptoms that indicate you may need a knee replacement
If you experience any of the following symptoms, it might be time to consider knee replacement surgery:
Chronic knee pain, even at rest.
Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or sitting down.
Prolonged morning stiffness.
Visible deformity or instability in the joint.
Pain that does not improve with medication or therapy.
Reliance on a cane or walker.
A medical evaluation with our Knee Specialist is essential to confirm the diagnosis and plan the appropriate treatment.
What types of implants are used in Knee Replacement?
The choice of implant depends on multiple factors: age, physical activity, bone condition, and surgeon preference.
The most common types are:
Cemented implants: Fixed to the bone with surgical cement, recommended for older adults.
Cementless implants: Allow for natural fixation through bone growth, ideal for younger or active patients.
Custom Knee Implants: Tailor-made based on 3D studies.
All implants used by Dr. Raul Lopez Solis are from internationally FDA-approved brands, featuring high-resistance materials and state-of-the-art technology.
The procedure is performed in an operating room under anesthesia. The goal is to align the joint correctly, remove damaged surfaces, and precisely place the implant to restore full knee function.
Dr. Raul Lopez Solis performs this surgery in certified hospitals in Monterrey, following standardized safety protocols to prevent complications.
