Who Needs a Knee Replacement?

The usual reason for knee replacement surgery is to relieve severe pain caused by osteoarthritis, especially when non-surgical approach is no longer effective. Patients who need knee replacement surgery usually have issues with walking, climbing stairs, and getting in and out of chairs. Knee replacement might be recommended when your knee has become deformed or is constantly swollen. Some patients might also experience knee pain at rest. Knee replacement surgery (arthroplasty) is considered an effective treatment for end-stage knee osteoarthritis. This operation is most often performed on patients aged between 50-80 years. The procedure results in improved knee mobility and significantly relieves pain caused by knee joint diseases.

About the Procedure

Knee endoprosthesis implantation, the main indication of which is pain relief, is a commonly performed operation for the degeneration of the knee joint. The procedure is performed in the case of degeneration of joints and articular cartilage, so it is most often performed on the elderly. However, this does not mean that young people are not exposed to such damage.

Endoprosthesoplasty consists of removing the diseased tissue and implanting a knee replacement in its place, which takes over the functions of the damaged structure. Knee joint replacement is an orthopaedic surgery during which the bones and damaged tissue are removed and replaced with a prosthesis. By eliminating pain, an implanted artificial knee allows you to restore lost joint functions and perform basic movements such as walking or lifting heavier objects.

There are several types of knee replacement implants, we most often choose them depending on the patient’s age. Younger ones have cementless prostheses implanted due to their longer life. It is placed on the bone by pressing or screwing.

Knee replacement is a major surgery, but you can rest assured that you are in the hands of experienced professionals. 

Knee Replacement Surgery – Preparations

The doctor who will perform the procedure qualifies the patient for the knee replacement. In addition to the clinical examination, the attending physician requires a diagnostic ultrasound of the joint or MRI. It is often necessary to perform an X-ray of the joint. After consultation and agreeing with the patient on the type and indications for surgery, the date of the operation is set.

Recovery After Knee Replacement

Regaining your strength and mobility after total knee replacement surgery is necessary for you to regain the ability to do the things that are important to you.

For the first few days after a knee replacement, the patient receives painkillers and anticoagulants. It is very important to follow the recommendations of the attending physician. Already from the first day after the procedure, the patient begins the process of rehabilitation. After leaving the clinic, the patient should walk with orthopaedic crutches and continue exercising under the supervision of a physiotherapist.

After the procedure, it is recommended to conserve and prevent overload of the operated knee joint. Of course, rehabilitation is necessary to allow the body to regain its full fitness, which usually takes about 2-3 months. The positive effects of physiotherapy and physical activity are particularly significant for patients after a knee replacement, as osteoarthritis may lead to metabolic and functional decline.

Once the rehabilitation after your knee replacement is complete, daily activities should become more comfortable and the quality of life should improve.
