total knee replacement
Following a total knee arthroplasty (TKA), individuals may experience a mix of emotions ranging from relief to frustration, along with physical discomfort and challenges. The TKA process involves surgically replacing damaged knee joint surfaces with prosthetic components, aiming to alleviate pain and restore function. At our facility, we prioritize holistic care throughout the recovery journey. Our dedicated team offers personalized rehabilitation plans, incorporating exercises, manual therapy, and assistive devices to enhance mobility and strength. We provide education on post-operative expectations, pain management strategies, and lifestyle adjustments to support optimal recovery. With our guidance, patients can navigate their TKA recovery effectively, achieving improved knee function and overall well-being.
surgical procedure
Total knee replacement, also known as total knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to alleviate pain and restore function in severely damaged or arthritic knee joints. During the procedure, the surgeon removes damaged cartilage and bone from the femur (thighbone), tibia (shinbone), and kneecap (patella). The removed surfaces are then replaced with metal and plastic components, mimicking the natural shape and function of the knee joint. This artificial joint, or prosthesis, is securely anchored to the remaining healthy bone using specialized cement or techniques that encourage bone growth into the implant surface. Total knee replacement surgery aims to improve mobility, relieve pain, and enhance overall quality of life for individuals with advanced knee arthritis or debilitating knee conditions.
during your rehab
Following total knee replacement, patients undergo intensive physical therapy to regain strength, range of motion, and mobility. Pain management strategies are utilized during the initial recovery phase. Most patients can resume light activities within weeks, with full recovery and return to normal activities within several months.
recovery process
Recovery from total knee replacement varies, but most patients experience significant improvement in pain and mobility. Prognosis is generally good, with many patients achieving long-term pain relief and restored function. However, individual outcomes may be influenced by factors such as pre-existing conditions and adherence to rehabilitation protocols.
