Knee pain can significantly impact your quality of life, limiting your ability to enjoy everyday activities. If you’ve tried conservative treatments like physical therapy and medication without relief, knee replacement surgery may be an option.
What is Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace damaged cartilage and bone in your knee joint with an artificial implant. This implant is designed to mimic the function of a healthy knee, allowing you to move more freely and reduce pain.
When is Knee Replacement Surgery Necessary?
Knee replacement surgery is typically considered when:
- Pain interferes with daily activities
- Stiffness limits your range of motion
- Non-surgical treatments have failed to provide relief
- Osteoarthritis has severely damaged the knee joint
The Surgery Process
Knee replacement surgery is a complex procedure that usually takes about one to two hours. During the surgery, your surgeon will remove the damaged cartilage and bone and implant the artificial knee joint.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Recovery from knee replacement surgery takes time and patience. Physical therapy is an essential part of the rehabilitation process. Your physiotherapist will guide you through exercises to strengthen your knee, improve flexibility, and regain mobility.
