Knee Replacement

Knee replacement surgery is an operation to repair an arthritis-damaged knee. The kneecap and the caps on the ends of the bones that make up the knee joint are made of metal and plastic. This surgery might be an option if you have severe knee injuries or arthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most significant reason that necessitates knee replacement surgery.
Knee replacement surgery is a safe technique to relieve discomfort, correct leg deformities, and enable you to return to normal activities. If nonsurgical options like prescription drugs and walking aids are no longer effective, total knee replacement surgery might be an option for you.

Who is a Candidate

Knee replacement surgery is ideal for people who have difficulty carrying out basic activities like walking or climbing stairs or if your knee is severely damaged due to arthritis or an injury. Even while you are sitting or lying down, you may experience pain. Patients in their fifties or older who struggle to walk despite first using nonsurgical therapy may be suitable candidates for knee replacement surgery.

Preparation

Before knee replacement surgery, you must improve your diet and fitness regimen. The knee, which carries five times a person’s body weight when climbing a single stair, can experience discomfort with just a few pounds of weight gain, which is common among many people. The muscles in the knee can be strengthened and improved with targeted physical therapy and exercise, which could lead to fewer pain sensations.

Surgery Details

During the procedure, the surgeon will remove the damaged knee joint surfaces, and the prosthesis will be used to resurface the knee joint. Metal and plastic make up the prosthetic knee. A cemented prosthesis is the most popular option for patients who opt for artificial knee replacement. Using surgical cement, a prosthesis is glued to the bone. A porous surface on an uncemented prosthesis allows the bone to develop to affix to the prosthesis. When replacing a knee, the two types are occasionally combined.

After Surgery

After the knee replacement surgery, the patient will regain consciousness and feel the legs again. Your doctor may use Multimodal analgesia to treat the pain and prevent it from happening in the first place. It combines pain-relieving techniques that work well together and have few adverse effects.
While everyone recovers at a different pace, most patients can anticipate being up and moving around without a cane or walker four weeks after surgery. At this point, they can usually bend their knee to or past 90 degrees, but they may still feel some stiffness or pain.

Home Recovery

Physical therapy is crucial during partial or total knee replacement recovery. In the hours following surgery, patients will be asked to stand and walk (often with a walker) before a physical therapy session. However, not every patient requires a physical treatment regimen.
Even after an outpatient procedure, patients will still be asked to engage in particular exercises to complete at home. These exercises should be performed several times daily to speed healing and lower the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). A physical therapist will also prescribe physical therapy at home or in an outpatient setting.
