About Knee Replacement Surgery

Knee Replacement Surgery, Prosthesis, or knee arthroplasty is a transformative procedure for those suffering from knee joint pain due to degeneration, arthritis, or injuries.

At Quirósalud, we understand the impact of this pain on your quality of life. Therefore, Dr. Wilches, a leading orthopedic surgeon, uses advanced techniques and state-of-the-art prosthetics to restore mobility and alleviate pain.

The procedure involves removing the damaged parts of the joint and replacing them with durable artificial components, designed to mimic the natural movement of your knee.

This approach not only relieves pain but also significantly improves joint function and mobility.

Knee Arthroplasty is for you if…

  • You have been diagnosed with knee arthritis and your doctor has recommended a total knee replacement.
  • You have tried conservative treatment such as medication, physical therapy, and weight loss, without results.
  • You do not have a medical condition that does not allow you to undergo a major surgical procedure.

My knee pain had been bothering me for a very long time and made my life hard. My doctor at home told me I needed knee replacement surgery, but I never would have guessed I could get it done in Tenerife. I was in very good hands. The surgeon was great and the staff was very friendly and professional.
