90% of patients are overdue for surgery, which reduce chances of success! Total Knee Replacement

If you have already tried every other method to treat your pain and restricted movement of your knee, but still are facing the problem, then you can decide opting for a total knee replacement on the basis of the recommendations made by your family doctor and your orthopedic surgeon. The decision to have total knee replacement surgery should usually be made cooperatively by you, your family, your family physician, and your orthopaedic surgeon. Your physician may first refer you to an orthopaedic surgeon for a thorough evaluation and then determine if you might benefit from this surgery and only post the entire evaluation, your orthopaedic surgeon will recommend whether you should go for a TKR or not.

 Knee replacement is a safe and effective procedure to relieve pain, correct leg deformity, and help you resume normal activities. Knee replacement surgery was first performed in 1968. Since then, improvements in surgical materials and techniques have greatly increased its safety as well as effectiveness. Total knee replacements are one of the most successful procedures in all of medicine.
The rate of complications post TKR is low. Serious events such as knee joint infection, happens in less than 2% of patients. Major systemic complications such as a MI or stroke have even less than the above stated occurence rate. On the contrary, post a TKR, you will be able to experience regained ability to walk or navigate through staircases without pain as well as ability to walk, swim, bike and hike (light hikes).

These recreational activities play a vital role in alleviating some of the unavoidable stress that we experience in our daily lives. Such activities which we call hobbies lend us an escape route to get rid from our boring routine and bring about a happy distraction and help in rejuvenating ourselves. In a way, a TKR can enable you to become independent and enjoy your favourite hobbies which you might have not being able to enjoy due to your knee pain and restricted movement.
