Knee Replacement.

Knee replacement surgery.

Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a procedure that replaces damaged knee joints with artificial implants. This helps alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance the overall quality of life. The procedure is highly successful and has helped millions of patients worldwide regain their independence.

Symptoms Indicating Knee Replacement

  • Severe knee pain, especially during movement
  • Joint stiffness and difficulty in bending or straightening the knee
  • Swelling and inflammation around the knee joint
  • Clicking or grinding sounds in the knee
  • Instability or feeling of the knee “giving way”

Causes of Knee Problems Requiring Replacement

  • Rheumatoid Arthritis: Chronic inflammation causing joint damage
  • Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Due to previous injury or fractures
  • Wear and Tear: Aging-related degeneration of the knee joint
  • Genetic Factors: Family history of arthritis or knee problems

Understanding Knee Replacement Surgery During knee replacement surgery, the damaged parts of the knee joint are removed and replaced with artificial implants made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. The procedure can be either:

  • Total Knee Replacement (TKR): The entire knee joint is replaced with an artificial implant.
  • Partial Knee Replacement (PKR): Only the damaged portion of the knee is replaced, preserving healthy tissue.

Total Knee Replacement (TKR) involves replacing the entire knee joint with artificial implants made of metal and medical-grade plastic. This procedure is recommended for patients with widespread arthritis or severe joint damage affecting multiple parts of the knee. TKR provides long-term relief from pain, improves mobility, and enhances overall quality of life. Modern advancements have made the surgery minimally invasive, leading to faster recovery times and improved outcomes.

Partial Knee Replacement (PKR) is a less invasive procedure where only the damaged portion of the knee joint is replaced while preserving the healthy parts of the knee. PKR is suitable for patients with arthritis or damage confined to a specific compartment of the knee. This procedure results in quicker recovery, less post-operative pain, and a more natural knee movement compared to TKR.

Both procedures offer significant improvements in knee function, and the choice between TKR and PKR depends on the severity of joint damage, patient activity levels, and overall health. At Horizon Health Care, our orthopedic specialists carefully assess each patient to determine the best surgical approach for optimal results.

Frequently asked questions

Who is a good candidate for knee replacement surgery?

A person experiencing severe knee pain, stiffness, swelling, and difficulty in daily activities due to arthritis, injury, or degenerative conditions may be a candidate for knee replacement. A doctor will evaluate factors such as mobility, X-ray results, and overall health before recommending surgery.

TKR replaces the entire knee joint with an artificial implant, while PKR replaces only the damaged portion of the knee, preserving healthy tissue. PKR is ideal for patients with localized knee damage, whereas TKR is suited for those with severe arthritis or joint degeneration.

The procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case and whether one or both knees are being replaced. However, preoperative and postoperative care may require a longer hospital stay.

Most patients can stand and take a few steps with assistance within 24 hours of surgery. Physical therapy begins immediately to restore movement, and patients usually regain independent mobility within a few weeks.

Initial recovery takes about 6 to 8 weeks, during which patients gradually regain strength and mobility. Full recovery may take 3 to 6 months, depending on individual healing and adherence to rehabilitation exercises.

Mild to moderate discomfort is common after surgery, but pain management techniques, including medication, ice therapy, and physical therapy, help ease discomfort. Most patients report significant pain relief within a few weeks.

Modern knee implants are highly durable and can last 15 to 20 years or longer, depending on lifestyle, activity level, and implant quality. Regular follow-ups with your surgeon help ensure the longevity of the implant.

Like any surgical procedure, knee replacement carries some risks, including infection, blood clots, implant wear, and stiffness. However, advancements in surgical techniques and proper post-operative care significantly reduce these risks.

Most patients can resume light activities, such as driving and household chores, within 4 to 6 weeks. Low-impact exercises like walking and swimming are encouraged, but high-impact activities like running should be avoided.
