Understanding Knee Replacement
Knee replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace the weight-bearing surfaces of the knee joint to relieve pain and disability. It is most commonly performed for osteoarthritis, and also for other knee diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. The procedure involves replacing damaged or diseased parts of the knee with artificial implants.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Knee Replacement
- Severe Knee Pain: Persistent pain that interferes with daily activities and sleep.
- Stiffness and Swelling: Chronic stiffness and swelling in the knee joint.
- Decreased Mobility: Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or performing routine tasks.
- Limited Range of Motion: Inability to fully bend or straighten the knee.
- Ineffective Non-Surgical Treatments: Failure to respond to medications, physical therapy, or other conservative treatments.
