What to Expect from Knee Replacement Surgery

When Is It Needed?

Common indications include:

1. Osteoarthritis – gradual cartilage wear causing severe pain and stiffness.

2. Rheumatoid or inflammatory arthritis – autoimmune damage leading to swelling, deformity, and—eventually—a need for replacement.

3. Post‑traumatic arthritis – previous injury or fracture triggers arthritis that worsens over time.

4. Knee deformities – congenital or acquired misalignment issues requiring surgical correction .

Procedure Overview

• Pre‑Op: Thorough evaluation of both knees, imaging studies, and discussion of treatment options. Candidates for bilateral replacement require good overall health.

• Surgery: Removal of damaged tissue, resurfacing with implants. Total procedure takes ~2–3 hours, possibly longer for bilateral cases.

• Hospital Stay: 3–5 days for monitoring and post‑op physical therapy .

• Recovery: Physical therapy begins almost immediately. Use of walker/crutches early on, with regained mobility expected within 3–6 months; full recovery up to 12 months.

Benefits vs. Risks

Benefits

• Pain relief & renewed mobility: Most patients regain daily function and enjoy reduced chronic pain.

• Single recovery timeline: Bilateral replacement cuts the total time spent in recovery.

• Enhanced life quality: Enables participation in activities that were previously too painful or impossible.

Risks

• Extended surgery duration: Longer time under anesthesia and surgery stress.

• Increased blood loss: Requires precise intraoperative management and possibly transfusion.

• Recovery challenge: Managing pain and mobility in two knees concurrently.

• General surgical risks: Includes infection, clot formation, nerve or vessel injury, implant loosening, or stiffness.

Post-Operative Rehab: Key to Success

• Early Movement: Gentle exercises to maintain joint mobility.

• Strengthening Programs: Focused PT protocols to rebuild quadriceps and surrounding muscles.

• Balance and walking training: Reduces fall risk and aids smoother gait.

• Cryotherapy & edema control: Helps with swelling.

• Long-Term Goals: Achieve full range of motion within 2 weeks; full strength and normal daily activity over 6–12 months .
