Primary knee replacement surgery, also known as total knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which an orthopedic surgeon removes the damaged or diseased surfaces of the knee joint and replaces them with artificial components. The goal of primary knee replacement surgery is to relieve pain and improve function in the knee joint. The artificial components consist of metal and plastic, and are designed to mimic the natural movement and function of the knee joint.
The surgery is typically recommended for individuals who experience severe knee pain, stiffness, and limited mobility due to conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis. Before undergoing primary knee replacement surgery, patients will undergo a thorough evaluation by their healthcare provider to determine if the procedure is appropriate for their individual needs.
Recovery time after primary knee replacement surgery varies depending on several factors, including the extent of the surgery, the patient's age and overall health, and adherence to a physical therapy and rehabilitation program. While the procedure has been shown to be highly effective in relieving knee pain and improving function, it does carry risks and potential complications, and patients should carefully consider their options and consult with their healthcare provider to determine if primary knee replacement surgery is the right treatment option for them.
