  1. Realistic Expectations after Total Knee Replacement By Dr. Rewat Laxman

  2. Knee replacement surgery, also called total knee arthroplasty, can relieve pain and restore function. The surgery involves cutting away torn or diseased cartilage and bone from your kneecap and the surrounding area, possibly including your thighbones and shinbones as well. You will be given a new artificial joint made of metal alloys or high-grade plastics. However, 9 out of 10 people who receive a total knee replacement report significant improvements in the quality of their life.

  3. Exercise and Stay Active After surgery, you will likely have to stay in the hospital for a couple days. Typically, your doctor will have you walking with the assistance of an aid, such as a cane or walker, by the next day. You should be walking without the assistance of an aid in two to three weeks.

  4. Have Realistic Expectations It’s important to have realistic expectations about your knee. You shouldn’t expect your artificial knee, as remarkable as it is, to function at the same level as your natural knee. It will not bend as much as your original knee. Activities such as the following will probably be more difficult: • kneeling • running • jumping • heavy labor

  5. Manage Your Weight Managing your weight is critical. Extra pounds negatively affect your knee by putting additional stress on your joint and can cause your prosthesis to break or wear out sooner. Remember that you are at an increased risk of infection after a knee replacement. Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics before dental work or any invasive medical procedure.
