What is Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee replacement surgery, also called knee arthroplasty, is performed when the knee joint becomes severely damaged due to arthritis, injury, or long-term wear and tear.
During the procedure:
-
Damaged cartilage and bone are removed from the knee joint
-
Artificial implants replace the joint surfaces
-
The new joint restores smooth movement and stability
This surgery is usually recommended when non-surgical treatments such as medications, physiotherapy, and injections fail to provide adequate relief.
Conditions That May Require Knee Replacement
Knee replacement surgery may be recommended for patients suffering from:
-
Severe osteoarthritis
-
Rheumatoid arthritis
-
Post-traumatic arthritis
-
Chronic knee pain
-
Knee joint deformity
-
Advanced cartilage damage
These conditions often cause persistent pain, stiffness, swelling, and difficulty walking.
Symptoms That Indicate Knee Replacement May Be Needed
Patients may require knee replacement surgery if they experience:
-
Severe knee pain while walking or climbing stairs
-
Persistent swelling and stiffness in the knee
-
Difficulty standing or walking for long periods
-
Reduced range of knee movement
-
Knee deformity or joint instability
An orthopaedic consultation along with imaging tests such as X-rays helps determine whether surgery is required.
Types of Knee Replacement Surgery
Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
Total knee replacement involves replacing the entire knee joint with artificial implants. It is the most common procedure for patients with advanced arthritis.
Partial Knee Replacement
Partial knee replacement is performed when only a part of the knee joint is damaged while the remaining joint structures remain healthy.
Revision Knee Replacement
Revision knee replacement is a secondary surgery performed when a previously implanted knee joint needs replacement due to wear or complications.
Knee Replacement Procedure
The knee replacement procedure generally involves the following steps:
-
Administration of anesthesia
-
Surgical incision over the knee joint
-
Removal of damaged cartilage and bone
-
Placement of artificial knee implants
-
Alignment and stability testing
-
Closing the incision and post-operative monitoring
The surgery usually takes around 1–2 hours, depending on the complexity of the condition.
Recovery Timeline After Knee Replacement Surgery
Recovery after knee replacement occurs gradually with proper physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
Typical recovery stages include:
-
Walking with support within 1–3 days
-
Comfortable walking within 3–6 weeks
-
Strength and mobility improvement within 6–12 weeks
-
Full recovery may take up to 1 year
Most patients can return to many normal activities within about 6 weeks.
