Why Knee Replacement Is Needed

Knee replacement is recommended for severe knee joint damage from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis, when pain and disability significantly limit mobility and don't improve with medication, injections, weight management, or physical therapy. It's typically considered once the joint damage is visible on X-rays and conservative treatments no longer provide adequate relief.

Signs You May Need Knee Replacement

Persistent knee pain during walking, climbing stairs, or even at rest, stiffness that limits bending or straightening the knee, swelling, and a visible deformity (such as bowing) are the primary warning signs. Pain that disrupts sleep or significantly limits daily activities despite trying non-surgical treatments typically prompts an orthopedic surgeon to recommend replacement.

Types of Knee Replacement

Total knee replacement replaces all three compartments of the knee joint with prosthetic components and is used for widespread arthritis. Partial (unicompartmental) knee replacement addresses damage limited to just one part of the knee, preserving more natural tissue and bone in appropriately selected patients, and robotic-assisted or computer-navigated techniques are increasingly used to improve the precision of implant positioning in both approaches.
