Knee Replacement- Post-Surgery Expectations V/S
Reality
Everyone who is undergoing with knee
replacement surgery gets so many questions about
the phases of recovery, most importantly how
soon I will be able to walk again?
Recovery after surgery depends upon various
factors and very much differ from person to
person. Expectations of a person after recovery
are based on what they see around them, but in
reality it all depends upon what is inside
them. Some of the most common doubts are
enlisted here with the reality check. I. Now
Im bound to use crutches for lifetime
Reality With new techniques and high quality
implants, patient can get rid of crutches and
have very flexible movements. Such implants allow
person to walk freely.

II. I will not be able to use stairs.
Reality Today the surgeries being performed are
mostly with minimal invasive techniques. Patient
get to climb up stairs on the very next day of
surgery.
III. I will not be able to recover fully to
normal after having knee replacement.
Reality Recovery is totally dependent upon the
patient itself. The reason behind this is that
how well patient follow the schedule of
exercises, medications and nutrition, makes
recovery faster.

IV. The surgery is going to be very painful
Reality This is not at all true about surgery
procedure. The procedure is mainly performed with
the supervision of anaesthesiologist, who is well
trained to reduce the pain during procedure.
Though after the procedure a little pain is
expected but now with much advanced techniques,
it has been reduced to very less. This helps
patient to get recovery easy and fast, also
patient starts to walk the very next day.
V. After surgery will I be able to fold my knees?
Reality It was true with traditional technique
of knee replacement but now with minimal invasive
knee replacement surgery, folding of knee is
possible.
