Knee surgery involves a variety of surgical procedures to repair or replace damaged tissues in the knee joint. The most common types of knee surgery are arthroscopy, meniscus repair, and knee replacement. Knee surgery is typically suitable for individuals with severe knee pain and/or dysfunction caused by injury, arthritis, or other conditions.
Knee surgery is a relatively high-risk procedure, and there are some potential complications, such as bleeding, infection, and blood clots. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with your surgeon before making a decision.
Knee surgery is usually performed on an inpatient basis, meaning you will need to stay in the hospital for a few days after the surgery. The average hospital stay for knee surgery is 3-5 days.
Before knee surgery, your surgeon will give you specific instructions on how to prepare for the surgery. This may include losing weight, quitting smoking, and taking certain medications.
After knee surgery, you will need to wear a brace for several weeks to support your knee. You will also need to do physical therapy to help you regain range of motion and strength in your knee.
The average recovery time for knee surgery is 3-6 months. During this time, you will need to avoid strenuous activity and follow your surgeon’s instructions carefully.
