You’ll only need a knee replacement if your knee gives you pain, stiffness, instability or loss of function that affects your daily life and activities. In a healthy knee, the ends of your thigh and shin bones are covered with hard cartilage which allows the bones to move easily against each other. Arthritis damages the hard cartilage so that it becomes thin. In places, the cartilage may wear away so that your bones rub against each other and become worn. In a knee replacement operation, the worn ends of the bones and any remaining hard cartilage are removed and replaced with metal and plastic parts. The plastic acts like hard cartilage, helping your joint to move freely. The interlocking parts of the artificial joint allow your knee to bend while also making it more stable. You won’t necessarily need a knee replacement if you have arthritis of the knee. But it may be worth considering if your knee is damaged by arthritis and the pain, disability, or stiffness are having serious effects on your daily activities. Your orthopedic surgeon at DR. MITTAL'S ORTHOPAEDIC & PHYSIOTHERAPY CENTRE will be able to advise you on the surgical options and the potential pros and cons of having or delaying surgery, taking into account your age, health, and level of activity.
