Common Reasons for Knee Replacement Surgery
Knee replacement surgery is typically considered when other treatments, such as medication or physical therapy, have not provided relief. Common reasons for knee replacement include:
- Osteoarthritis: The most common cause of knee pain and dysfunction, leading to the wearing away of cartilage.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune condition that can cause severe knee joint damage.
- Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Caused by previous knee injuries or fractures.
- Knee Deformities: Conditions such as bow-leggedness or knock-knees that can lead to chronic pain and joint degeneration.
What to Expect During Knee Replacement Surgery at Suncor Hospital
Our specialists take great care to make your surgical experience as comfortable and smooth as possible. The knee replacement procedure typically involves:
- Anesthesia: General or regional anesthesia will be used to ensure you are comfortable during surgery.
- Surgical Procedure: The damaged portions of the knee joint are removed and replaced with prosthetic components designed to restore function.
- Duration: The surgery typically lasts between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
After surgery, you will spend a short time in the hospital for monitoring. Most patients are encouraged to begin physical therapy within the first few days post-surgery to aid in recovery. The goal is to restore strength and flexibility, helping you return to your normal activities as soon as possible.
