Knee Surgery Information

Knee Arthroscopy

• A minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat problems such as torn cartilage, ligament injuries, or bone spurs.

• Quick recovery time with small incisions and reduced scarring.

Partial Knee Replacement

• Replaces only the damaged part of the knee, preserving healthy bone and ligaments.

• Ideal for patients with damage localized to one part of the joint.

Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

• Involves replacing the entire knee joint with prosthetic components.

• Recommended for severe arthritis or joint degeneration impacting daily activities.

Revision Knee Surgery

• Corrects or replaces a previous knee implant that has worn out or caused complications.

• Robotic-Assisted Surgery: Provides precision in implant placement, improving long-term outcomes.

• Minimally Invasive Techniques: Smaller incisions for reduced recovery time and scarring.

• Custom Implants: Designed for a natural feel and optimized joint movement.

• Pre-Surgery Assessment: A comprehensive review of your condition, imaging studies, and health history.

• Strengthening Exercises: Pre-surgery physical therapy can enhance post-surgery recovery.

• Home Setup: Create a safe recovery space with assistive devices like handrails or a walker.

Post-Surgery Therapy: Physical therapy begins immediately to strengthen the knee and restore range of motion.

Timeline:

• Partial or arthroscopic procedures: Recovery may take 4–8 weeks.

• Total knee replacement: Initial recovery in 6–12 weeks, with full recovery in up to a year.

Pain Management: Includes medication and icing techniques to ease discomfort during healing.

• Pain relief for chronic knee conditions.
