Traditional Knee Replacement
What Is a Knee Replacement?
A traditional knee replacement is a highly effective procedure for individuals suffering from severe arthritis or knee joint damage. It involves removing damaged cartilage and bone and replacing it with artificial components to restore knee function.
When Is a Knee Replacement Recommended?
We typically recommend knee replacement for patients who:
- Are experiencing decreased mobility
- Experience chronic knee pain that limits daily activities
- Suffer from knee stiffness and swelling
- Have tried non-surgical treatments without success
What to Expect During Knee Replacement Surgery
The procedure is performed under anesthesia, and the damaged knee joint is replaced with metal and plastic implants. The surgery typically takes around 1-2 hours. Patients will require rehabilitation to regain strength and mobility in the joint.
Recovery from Knee Replacement
Recovery from a traditional hip replacement varies by individual, but it generally follows this timeline:
- 7-14 Days: Return to routine daily activities.
- 2-6 Weeks: Moderate activity level.
- 6-8 Weeks: Return to an active lifestyle.
Rehabilitation is crucial during the recovery phase, and physical therapy helps restore mobility.
Benefits of Traditional Knee Replacement
- Long-term pain relief
- Improved knee function and mobility
- High success rate

NanoKnee™ replacement is ideal for patients who:
