Recovery after Knee Replacement Surgery
Legs are one of the most used parts of the body. Thereby, healthy joints and bones are essential for an individual’s normal life functioning. However, as a person ages, the joints and the bones become weak and this leads to severe pain even while performing simple daily activities.
Total Knee Replacement Surgery is a complex surgical procedure wherein knee joint is replaced with prosthetic implant made up of artificial material or metals. Knee Replacement surgeon takes precise measurements of the knee joint in order to determine the size of knee implant. Each component of knee is then replaced with metallic component and held in place with bone cement.
It is generally an age-related issue and can be overcome by the best knee replcaement surgeon in Bangalore Dr. Nataraj H.M at the Columbia Asia Hospital. Knee replacement surgery takes about 1.5-2 hours. However, the entire recovery process takes about 4-6 months and for this to occur properly, the patient must take a few precautions and care as advised by the doctor.
Once the operation is done, the patient is advised a hospital stay for a day or two. The patient is usually advised to perambulate using an aid such as a walker or any other kind of orthopedic support. In cases where the patients require special care or need to be kept under observation, the hospital stay might extend.
Once discharged, the patient is advised to take special care and precautions. A week post-surgery, the patient is generally advised to take up physical therapy by a trained and qualified physical therapist. The physical therapists help the patient to resume their daily commute by teaching them various strengthening exercises.
To begin with, the patients are taught how to use their orthopedic support and walk post-surgery. This is then followed by a variety of knee strengthening exercises that help strengthen the knees. These exercises help strengthen the bones and eventually lead to the patient walking unaided.
It takes about 6 weeks for the patient to resume daily activities. In about 3-6 weeks, the patient can even drive around in a vehicle and also perform other physical activities. About 4-6 months to a year is required for the complete healing post-surgery.
