About this Procedure
A unilateral total knee replacement replaces one damaged knee joint with an artificial one. The NHS explains that the lower end of the thigh bone and the upper end of the shin bone are replaced with metal and plastic parts, and some people also have the back of the kneecap resurfaced. The NHS says knee replacements are usually very successful at reducing pain and improving movement.
A knee replacement may be recommended if knee pain is having a big effect on your life and alternatives have not worked. Most people who have one have pain and movement problems caused by osteoarthritis. Other types of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis or arthritis after an injury, are less common reasons. Typical symptoms are pain when walking or climbing stairs, stiffness and swelling.
According to the NHS, the operation usually takes about 1 to 2 hours under a general anaesthetic or a spinal anaesthetic. You start moving with physiotherapy soon afterwards and usually leave hospital 1 to 4 days after the operation once you can get around safely with crutches. Full recovery can take several months or longer, and most people return to work after about 6 to 12 weeks, depending on their job.
