Understanding Knee Replacement
Simple answers to your important questions
When Do You Need Knee Replacement?
Knee replacement helps when the smooth cartilage in your knee joint wears away, usually from arthritis. This causes bone to rub against bone, creating pain, stiffness, and swelling that doesn't get better with other treatments.
How Does Knee Replacement Work?
During surgery, Dr. Fawzy removes the damaged parts of your knee joint and replaces them with smooth metal and plastic parts. These new parts work almost like a natural knee.
What Types Are Available?
Total Knee Replacement: Replaces the entire knee joint when arthritis affects the whole knee
Partial Knee Replacement: Replaces only the damaged part when arthritis affects just one area
Both options give excellent results when done by an experienced surgeon.
Our Treatment Approach
We start with simple treatments and only suggest surgery when it's the best choice
Try Non-Surgical Treatment First
We always start with treatments that don't require surgery. This includes physical therapy to strengthen your knee, medications to reduce pain and swelling, injections to lubricate the joint, and lifestyle changes to protect your knee. Many patients feel much better with these treatments and don't need surgery.
Detailed Evaluation
If surgery might help you, Dr. Fawzy will examine your knee carefully, look at X-rays to see the damage, talk with you about your goals, explain exactly what surgery involves, and answer all your questions.
Expert Surgery When You're Ready
Dr. Fawzy uses proven surgical techniques he's perfected over 40 years. His experience with the most difficult cases means your surgery gets the same expert care, even if your case is routine.
Recovery and Return to Activities
Most patients go home the same day or next day, start walking within 24 hours, return to normal activities in 6-12+ weeks depending on the case, and enjoy years of improved mobility.
Experience You Can Trust
Four decades of surgical expertise focused on optimal patient outcomes
Trained in the Best Medical Centers
Dr. Fawzy completed his surgical training in top UK hospitals, earning his FRCS qualification. This means he learned from the world's leading knee replacement experts and brings that knowledge to Kuwait.
Handles the Most Difficult Cases
Other doctors send Dr. Fawzy their most challenging patients - cases where previous surgery failed or the bone damage is severe. This experience with difficult cases makes routine knee replacements even more successful.
Proven Surgical Techniques
With over 40 years of experience, Dr. Fawzy has developed precise surgical methods that give excellent results.
Local Care, International Standards
You don't need to travel abroad for world-class knee replacement. Dr. Fawzy brings international expertise right here to Kuwait, with the personal attention you deserve.
Less Invasive Knee Replacement Approach
Dr. Fawzy's technique in knee replacement involves the recognized sub vastus approach which has been used for over 30 years. This approach involves no cutting or damage to the muscles. It is definitely better than the not-cutting-a-tendon technique trending on the social media the last few years, which involves cutting the quad/thigh muscle.
Conservative Approach When Possible
Dr. Fawzy believes in surgery only when it's truly needed. He'll always try simpler treatments first, but when surgery is the best choice, you'll get exceptional care.
