Who should go for knee replacement?
Knee replacement can improve knee problems associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and other degenerative conditions, such as avascular necrosis — a condition in which obstructed blood flow causes your bone tissue to die.
Identify the need of knee replacement if you have following problems:
- You have pain that limits your activities of walking, climbing stairs and getting in and out of chairs, or you experience moderate or severe knee pain at rest.
- You have limited function or mobility, such as chronic knee stiffness and swelling that prevent you from bending and straightening your knee.
- You have tried other methods to improve symptoms, for example resting, weight loss, physical therapy, medications, braces and surgery, but they've failed.
- You have a knee deformity, such as a joint that bows in or out.
- You are age 55 or older. Knee replacement is typically performed in older adults, but it may be considered for adults of all ages.
Your fitness to go for Knee Replacement Surgery
You should be healthy without conditions such as restricted blood flow, diabetes or infection as this may complicate the surgery or increase the recovery time. Having obesity is not going to disqualify you but may increase the recovery time and can also bring risk of infection after surgery.
