Anyone who suffers from knee arthritis knows how much it limits a person’s ability to enjoy their life. If you are also suffering from knee arthritis and have made the decision to undergo total knee replacement surgery, you are ready to reap its benefits.
So, today in this blog, I will tell you the benefits of having a total knee replacement and how it will improve your lifestyle. Let’s get started!
Why Should You Go For A Knee Replacement Surgery?
A total knee replacement can relieve pain and restore function to an arthritic knee. Knee replacement is most commonly performed when other treatments like exercise/physical therapy, weight loss, injections, medicines, and bracing have failed to relieve arthritis-related knee pain.
Knee replacements are intended to relieve pain, improve knee function, and improve quality of life. Aside from children, whose bones are still growing, the treatment is performed on people of all ages.
Benefits of Total Knee Replace Surgery
Here is the list of main benefits you can get from a total knee replacement surgery and enhance your quality of life.
Pain Relief
Starting with the primary objective of most knee replacement patients – ending the pain and discomfort associated with a joint that has been damaged by osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease in which the cartilage in your joints breaks down, producing pain and inflammation. Unfortunately, because your cartilage lacks the resources it requires to regenerate, the injury is largely irreparable.
A knee replacement, as the name implies, involves replacing the worn components of your joint with metal and plastic. Knee surgery can relieve the debilitating knee pain that you experience while walking, standing, sitting, lying down, running, etc. Total knee replacement surgery is a good way to get rid of the pain.
To give you an indication of how effective this treatment is, 90 per cent of those who choose replacement have significant pain relief.
Restore mobility
Due to knee pain and stiffness, you’ve been watching life from the sidelines for too long. You can regain your mobility with total knee replacement treatment, allowing you to keep up with and participate in life.
Better sleep
Most of our patients report that knee pain prevents them from getting the sleep they need, even at night. If this sounds similar, you can expect to experience better sleep after going through total knee replacement surgery.
Enhance every aspect of your health
Chronic knee pain can put you at risk for a variety of physical and mental health problems, including:
- Obesity
- Cardiovascular disease
- Anxiety or depression
- Diabetes
Not only does knee discomfort prohibit you from being active, but persistent pain can also have a negative impact on your mental health.
By being proactive and replacing your painful joints, you can improve your health in ways you might not have imagined.
Long lasting
Knee replacements have been performed for a couple of decades, but advances in materials have made them more durable. According to one study, approximately 90% of total knee replacement implants were still functional 20 years after they were implanted.
Faster recovery
We can replace your knee joint using minimally invasive surgical techniques, reducing any collateral harm. Because we only need to make minor incisions, your pain and hazards are considerably decreased, and your recovery time is greatly accelerated.
Only what you need
Total knee replacement and unicompartmental knee replacement are the two most common types of knee replacement surgery. If you simply have partial wear in your knee, this second alternative is ideal. In these circumstances, we only replace what’s necessary, leaving the joint’s healthy components alone.
