Knee Replacement Surgery – The Benefits

Knee replacement surgery is recommended only when other non-surgical treatments fail to relive the joint pain. The surgery replaces the damaged joints with the artificial ones, which are usually made up of metal alloys, high grade plastic, and polymers. Post-surgery, a physical therapist will teach you some exercises for your new knee for a speedy recovery. It may take you four to six weeks to recover and get back to your normal style.

Here are the benefits:

  1. Long term relief from years of joint pains
     
  2. You'll be able to walk, and even run without pain in your knees (of course, you'll be required to take rest for some weeks post-surgery)
     
  3. Walking, climbing stairs, and getting in and out of chairs won't trouble you
     
  4. You'll feel more happy and healthy

You'll be able to do almost all the low-impact activities, such as walking, climbing the stairs, swimming, etc. However, you may have to avoid high impact activities, like tennis, soccer, running, etc.

All you need to make sure is that you get yourself treated in any of the leading orthopaedic hospitals in India. Talk to your doctor if you qualify for the surgery. You should also discuss the limitations, and risks associated with the surgery. This will help you make an informed decision.
