Knee Replacement Surgery Overview:
Knee replacement, or knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure for resurfacing a knee damaged by arthritis. It involves using metal and plastic components to cap the ends of the femur, tibia, and kneecap bones. Arthritis leads to joint degeneration, inflammation, and pain, with osteoarthritis affecting middle-aged adults and causing cartilage breakdown, while rheumatoid and traumatic arthritis result in joint damage. Arthritis knee replacement surgery aims to repair damaged knee joint parts and alleviate pain that cannot be managed by other treatments.
A surgeon usually recommends total (TKR surgery) or partial knee replacements, with total knee replacements replacing all three areas of the knee joint, while partial knee replacements only replace damaged areas, often in younger adults who have experienced injury or trauma. Indications for total knee replacement include joint pain, stiffness, limited mobility, and swelling, often due to arthritis. Total knee replacements can either be performed as an open, minimally invasive surgery or as robotic knee replacement surgery.

Knee Replacement Surgery Procedure, Recovery And Post-Procedure Care
Preparation: The surgeon will assess a physical exam, blood tests, and imaging tests like knee X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans to prepare for surgery. The doctor will provide instructions regarding diet and protocol, explain the procedure, and may request additional preparation based on the medical condition if needed.
During the procedure: Anesthesia is administered during knee replacement surgery, and the procedure involves removing damaged cartilage and bone, inserting a prosthetic knee joint, a plastic spacer to recreate the cartilage cushion, and reshaping the kneecap to fit the new joint.
After the procedure: The surgery team monitors the patient’s recovery, vital signs, and pain level. Some patients who undergo minimally invasive procedures go home the same day, while others may need hospital care for a few days.
Knee replacement surgery recovery: Knee replacement surgery typically takes a year to fully recover, but most activities can be resumed six weeks post-surgery. However, recovery time depends on factors like activity level, age, and other health conditions.
Post-procedure care: Follow the surgeon’s recovery plan post-surgery: ice the knee daily for 20 minutes, elevate it frequently, and adhere to incision care. Engage in home exercises to prevent stiffness and strengthen muscles, working with a physical therapist for several months for safe movement. Consider using prescription pain medication in combination with icing for pain relief.

FAQ's
Is knee replacement safe?
Knee replacement is a safe and common procedure, with most patients experiencing no complications. However, in some rare cases, there might be possible risks.
How painful is a total knee replacement?
Total knee replacement (TKR) surgery typically involves minimal pain, but modern pain management techniques can help manage it. During surgery, patients are under anesthesia and won’t feel pain. After surgery, some discomfort may occur, which is typically managed with medication via an IV.
What not to do after knee replacement?
To heal and prevent complications after a total knee replacement, avoid high-impact activities and exercises, prolonged sitting, bending, lifting. Consult a doctor if pain, swelling, or redness persist.
What is robotic knee replacement?
A robotic knee replacement involves a surgeon removing damaged knee tissue and replacing it with an artificial joint, assisted by a robotic arm, allowing for greater precision.
Can MRI be done with knee replacement?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can safely be used with other types of implants, such as hip and knee replacements and dental implants, depending on the implant’s composition or material. Modern knee replacement implants are typically made from MRI-compatible materials, despite concerns about metal components in the knee replacement.
Is knee replacement worth it?
The worthiness of knee replacement surgery is influenced by various factors, including symptom reduction, quality of life enhancement, and increased flexibility in the knee.
What material is used for knee replacement?
Implants are typically made of titanium- or cobalt-chromium-based alloys, medical grade polyethylene, or ceramics or ceramic/metal mixtures like oxidized zirconium.
Is knee replacement a disability?
Individuals in positions requiring standing, walking, lifting, or climbing may be eligible for disability benefits post-knee replacement surgery, based on age and work history.
Is knee replacement considered a major surgery?
Yes, a knee replacement is a significant surgery recommended only if other treatments like physiotherapy or steroid injections haven’t effectively reduced pain or improved mobility.
