Knee arthroplasty, also known as total knee replacement surgery.
The success rate for knee replacement surgery is estimated to be around 90-95%.
Knee arthroplasty, also known as knee replacement surgery, is a surgical procedure performed to alleviate chronic knee pain and restore function in individuals with severe knee joint damage. It involves replacing the damaged or diseased parts of the knee joint with artificial components made of metal, ceramic, or plastic.
This procedure is commonly recommended for individuals suffering from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other degenerative conditions that result in pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. Knee arthroplasty aims to improve the patient’s quality of life by reducing pain, improving joint function, and enabling a return to daily activities with increased comfort and mobility.
Mind Boggling Fact
More about Knee Replacement
Overview
Knee arthroplasty, also known as total knee replacement, is a highly successful surgical procedure that has provided life-changing benefits to millions of people worldwide. Studies have shown that over 90% of knee replacements still function well after 15 years, and around 80% last for 25 years or more.
Recovery Phase
During the recovery phase of a knee replacement, patients typically undergo physical therapy to regain strength, flexibility, and range of motion. They may need assistive devices like crutches or walkers initially, gradually transitioning to walking without assistance. Pain management, wound care, and following post-operative instructions are essential for successful recovery.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Can knee replacement surgery be performed on both knees at the same time?
In some cases, knee replacement surgery can be performed on both knees simultaneously. However, the decision to perform simultaneous knee replacements depends on various factors, including the patient’s overall health, age, and the extent of knee damage.
What is the rehabilitation process like after knee replacement surgery?
Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in the recovery process after knee replacement surgery. Physical therapy exercises, including strengthening and range-of-motion exercises, are typically prescribed to help restore mobility, strengthen the surrounding muscles, and promote healing. The rehabilitation program may involve both inpatient and outpatient sessions, and the duration can vary based on individual progress.
How long do knee replacements last?
The longevity of knee replacements can vary depending on factors such as the patient’s age, activity level, overall health, and the type of implant used. In general, modern knee replacements can last for 15 to 20 years or more. However, it’s important to note that younger or more active individuals may experience faster wear of the implant, potentially requiring a revision surgery in the future.
How long does it take to recover from knee replacement surgery?
Recovery time can vary depending on various factors such as the individual’s overall health, the extent of the surgery, and adherence to post-operative rehabilitation. In general, most people can expect to regain mobility and resume normal daily activities within 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. However, it may take several months to achieve full recovery and regain optimal strength and function.
Are there any alternatives to knee replacement surgery?
Depending on the specific condition and severity, there may be alternative treatments to consider before opting for knee replacement surgery. These can include physical therapy, medication, injections, weight management, assistive devices, and lifestyle modifications.
What are the different types of knee replacement surgery?
There are two main types of knee replacement surgery: total knee replacement (TKR) and partial knee replacement (PKR). In TKR, the entire knee joint is replaced, whereas in PKR, only the affected compartment of the knee is replaced. The choice of surgery depends on the extent of knee damage, location of arthritis, and other individual factors.
