When is knee replacement advised?
Knee replacement is considered when arthritis has damaged the joint and pain keeps you from walking, climbing stairs or sleeping, even after medicines, physiotherapy and injections have been tried.
- Severe knee pain on walking or standing
- Knees bending outward (bow legs) or inward due to arthritis
- Stiffness that limits daily activity
- X-ray showing advanced osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
What happens during total knee replacement?
The worn joint surfaces are replaced with a metal and high-grade plastic implant that is shaped like a natural knee. The leg alignment is corrected at the same time, which is why patients with bow legs often stand straighter after surgery.
Most patients start standing and walking with a walker under physiotherapy guidance soon after surgery. Recovery time varies from person to person and is discussed at your consultation.
Not every painful knee needs surgery
Many patients with early arthritis do well with weight management, exercise, physiotherapy and medicines. Dr. Bhaskar examines your knee and X-ray first and explains every option before surgery is discussed.
