Why Total Knee Replacement Is Needed

Total knee replacement is performed for severe osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis that has destroyed the knee's cartilage, causing bone-on-bone contact, as well as for post-traumatic arthritis after a major knee injury or fracture that has led to long-term joint damage.

Signs You May Need Total Knee Replacement

Warning signs include chronic knee pain that worsens with walking, climbing stairs, or standing, visible joint swelling and deformity such as bowing of the leg, stiffness that limits bending, and pain that no longer responds to weight loss, physiotherapy, medication, or injections.

Types of Total Knee Replacement

Options include total knee replacement, resurfacing the entire joint surface, partial (unicompartmental) knee replacement for arthritis limited to one part of the knee, and increasingly, robotic-assisted or computer-navigated knee replacement for more precise implant alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a knee replacement last?

Modern knee implants commonly last 20-25 years, especially with a healthy weight and appropriate activity level.

How painful is the recovery?

There is real discomfort in the first couple of weeks, well managed with medication and ice, and most of the significant pain from arthritis is actually relieved once healing progresses.

When will I walk without support?

Most patients use a walker or cane for a few weeks, progressing to unaided walking over 6-12 weeks with physiotherapy.

Is partial knee replacement an option for me?

If your arthritis is limited to just one compartment of the knee, a partial replacement may be possible, preserving more of your natural knee — your orthopedic surgeon can assess this on imaging.

What are the risks?

Risks include infection, blood clots, stiffness, and implant wear over time, all of which are reduced with careful surgical technique and dedicated post-op physiotherapy.
