FAQ On Knee Replacement

Knee replacement is a surgical procedure where damaged knee joint surfaces are replaced with artificial implants. It is recommended for individuals suffering from severe arthritis, osteoarthritis, or knee injuries that cause chronic pain and restrict mobility.

Initial recovery typically takes 4 to 6 weeks, with patients resuming daily activities. Full recovery, including regaining strength and flexibility, may take 3 to 6 months with proper rehabilitation and physiotherapy.

The surgery itself is performed under anesthesia, so there is no pain during the procedure. Post-surgery, some discomfort and swelling are expected, but they can be managed with medications, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation.

Modern knee implants are designed to last 15 to 25 years, depending on factors like lifestyle, activity level, and implant type. Proper post-surgical care and weight management can extend the lifespan of the implant.

While knee replacement is generally safe, potential risks include infection, blood clots, implant loosening, stiffness, and nerve damage. Choosing an experienced surgeon and following post-surgery care instructions can minimize these risks.

Most patients start walking with the help of a walker or crutches within 24 hours after surgery. With proper physiotherapy, many can walk independently within 2 to 3 weeks and resume routine activities in 4 to 6 weeks.
