Knee replacement surgery is an option for individuals with severe knee pain and limited mobility due to osteoarthritis or other conditions. During knee replacement surgery, the damaged knee joint is replaced with an artificial joint made of metal or plastic.
Knee replacement surgery may be recommended if non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy and medication have not provided relief. However, it's essential to carefully consider the risks and benefits of the procedure before deciding if it is right for you.
Risks of knee replacement surgery include infection, blood clots, and nerve damage. Recovery from knee replacement surgery can take several weeks to months, and physical therapy is typically required to regain strength and mobility in the knee.
It's important to discuss the potential risks and benefits of knee replacement surgery with a healthcare provider to determine if it is the best treatment option for individual needs. With proper care and management, knee replacement surgery can relieve and improve the quality of life for individuals with severe knee pain.
