FAQs
Here are some frequently asked questions.
What is knee replacement surgery?
Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, involves replacing a damaged or worn-out knee joint with an artificial implant. This procedure is typically recommended for patients suffering from severe arthritis or injury that causes chronic knee pain and limits daily activities.
What is the recovery time after knee replacement surgery?
Recovery time can vary depending on the individual and the type of knee replacement surgery performed. Generally, patients can expect to stay in the hospital for 1-3 days post-surgery. Full recovery, including physical therapy and regaining strength and mobility, can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months. Most patients can resume normal activities within 6 weeks, but high-impact activities should be avoided for several months.
Who is a candidate for knee replacement surgery?
Candidates for knee replacement surgery are usually individuals who experience severe knee pain or stiffness that affects their daily activities, such as walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair. It is often recommended for those who have not found relief through non-surgical treatments like medication, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes.
What are the risks associated with knee replacement surgery?
As with any surgical procedure, knee replacement surgery carries certain risks, including infection, blood clots, implant loosening, and nerve damage. However, these complications are relatively rare. Your orthopaedic surgeon will discuss these risks with you and take measures to minimize them, ensuring a successful outcome and smooth recovery.
