Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I know if I need joint replacement surgery?
Joint replacement surgery is often considered when other treatments, such as medication or physical therapy, no longer provide relief from pain or improve joint function. Your orthopedic surgeon will evaluate your condition using diagnostic tools (Xray, MRI, etc.) and discuss if joint replacement is the right option for you.
What is the difference between partial and total knee replacement?
A partial knee replacement involves replacing only the damaged part of the knee joint, whereas a total knee replacement replaces the entire knee joint. The choice depends on the extent of damage to the knee and your overall health.
How long does the recovery process take after joint replacement surgery?
Recovery time varies depending on the joint being replaced and the patient’s overall health. Typically, you may begin walking with support within a few days and can expect full recovery within 6 to 12 weeks. Physical therapy plays an essential role in speeding up recovery.
What are the risks of joint replacement surgery?
While joint replacement surgery is generally safe, there are risks such as infection, blood clots, implant loosening, or nerve damage. Our team takes every precaution to minimize these risks, and we provide post-surgical care to ensure the best outcome.
How long do joint replacement implants last?
Modern joint implants are made from durable materials designed to last 15 to 20 years or longer. However, the lifespan of an implant depends on factors like activity level, weight, and the type of implant used. Regular check-ups are essential to monitor the condition of the implant over time.
