What is Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure where a damaged or worn-out knee joint is replaced with an artificial implant. This procedure helps relieve pain and restores function in severely diseased knee joints.
Who Needs Knee Replacement?
You may be a candidate for knee replacement if you experience:
- Severe knee pain that limits daily activities
- Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or standing up
- Chronic inflammation and swelling
- No relief from other treatments like physiotherapy or injections
Types of Knee Replacement
There are mainly two types:
- Total Knee Replacement (TKR): The entire knee joint is replaced.
- Partial Knee Replacement (PKR): Only the damaged part of the knee is replaced.
Procedure and Recovery
- ✅ The Surgery: Typically lasts 1 to 2 hours under spinal or general anesthesia.
- ✅ Hospital Stay: Most patients stay 2-4 days post-surgery.
- ✅ Recovery: With physiotherapy, most patients walk within a few days and return to normal activities within 6 to 12 weeks.
