Knee replacement surgery, a common orthopedic procedure, aims to alleviate pain and restore mobility in individuals with severe knee joint damage. Surgeons replace damaged parts of the knee with prosthetic components made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. Pre-surgery evaluations assess candidacy, considering factors like age, overall health, and extent of knee damage. Post-surgery rehabilitation involves physical therapy to regain strength and mobility, with full recovery typically taking several months.
Knee surgeries or rather we call knee replacements are becoming more common as my previous communication and articles suggest. I once again emphasize the success rates of the surgeries are extremely high. In terms of medical language, the survivorship of the implant nearing 92% for 15 years.
