Why It’s Done

The most common reason for knee replacement surgery is to ease pain caused by arthritis. People who need knee replacement surgery usually have problems walking, climbing stairs, and getting up out of chairs.

If only one part of the knee is damaged, surgeons often replace just that part. If the entire joint needs to be replaced, the ends of the thighbone and shinbone are reshaped and the entire joint resurfaced. If the knee’s ligaments aren’t strong enough to hold the joint together, the surgeon may choose implants that can be connected so they can’t come apart.

Risks of Knee Replacement Surgery

Like any surgery, knee replacement carries some risks, including:

• Blood Clots: Surgeons may recommend blood-thinning medications to prevent clots, especially in the legs.
• Nerve Damage: Nerves in the surgical area may be injured, causing numbness, weakness, or pain.
• Infection: Infection at the incision site or in deeper tissues may require additional surgery.

Instant Treatment After Knee Replacement Surgery

To relieve knee pain and promote recovery, follow the RICE method:

• Rest: Avoid putting weight on the knee and get adequate rest.
• Ice: Apply ice packs to reduce swelling.
