About 90% of first-time knee replacements last at least 15 years and many last at least 20 years. Patients can extend the life of their knee replacements by complying with their physical therapy routines and avoiding high-impact activities, such as jumping or jogging. High impact activities cause friction between the man-made components of the replacement knee, causing wear and tear.
General indications that you are ready for a total knee replacement:
-Bone on bone arthritis
-Persistent pain, with movement and at rest.
-Pain is disrupting your sleep.
-Pain is preventing you doing you activities of normal life.
Typically you are standing same day as surgery. You can start walking
next day after surgery. Most people discharge from hospital after 3 or 4
nights. People with difficult home situations or poorer mobility may
require a stay in rehab ward till they are proven to be independent.
Crutches or awalking aid is used for 2-4 weeks. People may return to
work as soon as 3 weeks, though some may need 3 months.
Having a joint replaced is a major operation. While most people have a good result and an active recovery, there are surgical and medical risks you need to be aware of. Ask your surgeon for more details.
You should follow the exercises provided by the hospital physiotherapist however you do not need to visit a physiotherapist once discharged. A hydrotherapy program may be suggested after your 2 week review.
