Frequently Asked Questions

What is Total Knee Replacement?

Total Knee Replacement – the name is a misnomer. In this, we don’t remove the whole knee joint, only the damaged surfaces of bone are shaved off. The raw surface of the bone end is covered with smooth ceramic or metal lining. This surgery is actually resurfacing, rather than replacement of the knee. Sometimes, the underside of the kneecap (patella) is also reshaped and is lined by a polythene cap. This is called patella resurfacing.

Can both knees be replaced at a same time?

If both knees are damaged, both can be replaced in the same sitting. It means one time anaesthesia, one time hospital stay, one time medicines and one time physical therapy. It means saving the cost too. Your doctor can advise you for the need of replacing both the knees simultaneously.there are certain conditions in which both knees should not be replaced simultaneously. Discuss these conditions with your doctor.

Can I sit cross legged or squat after knee replacement?

After Total Knee Replacement, a person can typically walk comfortably and his knee joint will have a good range of motion. Lot of patients are able to sit cross legged on the bed after this surgery. Its not advisable to squat or sit cross legged on the ground. If your body does not have the flexibility then do not try to forcefully bend your knees more than your tolerance limit. Your doctor will advise you on the activities that you will be able to do comfortably
