HEALINGBELL KNEE REPLACEMENT REHABILITATION 

CAUSE OF KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY

Osteoarthritis is a common condition that often necessitates knee replacement surgery. It significantly impacts one’s quality of life and restricts the ability to move freely. Common symptoms of arthritis include pain, swelling, difficulty standing up or moving, and redness of the affected joint. When these symptoms become increasingly debilitating, knee replacement surgery becomes a viable option. 

This surgical procedure can involve replacing a single knee (unilateral) or both knees (bilateral). The primary goal of knee replacement surgery is to address issues that hinder walking, climbing stairs, and carrying out daily tasks. By improving mobility and reducing pain, this procedure aims to restore daily movement and enhance the overall quality of life.

ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF ARTHRITIS, MOST KNEE PAIN IS CAUSED BY JUST THREE TYPES:

Osteoarthritis is a prevalent type of arthritis that affects a significant number of individuals globally. This medical condition occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of bones gradually deteriorates over time. While osteoarthritis can impact various joints in the body, it most commonly affects the hands, knees, hips, and spine.

Rheumatoid arthritis involves an autoimmune response, where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, including the joints. Prolonged inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis can lead to bone erosion and joint deformity.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF ARTHRITIS RELATED TO JOINTS INCLUDE:

• Pain

• Stiffness

• Swelling

• Redness

• Reduced range of motion

HOW CAN INDIVIDUALS EFFECTIVELY PREPARE FOR THEIR RECOVERY AFTER KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY?

After knee replacement surgery, patients are typically transferred to the recovery room for a few hours. The length of stay in the recovery room varies based on individual medical conditions. To promote blood flow, prevent swelling, and minimize the risk of blood clots, most surgeons encourage patients to engage in mobility exercises, particularly for the foot and ankle.

The recovery process includes early initiation of physical rehabilitation, where a physiotherapist plays a crucial role in guiding patients through specific exercises. These exercises aim to strengthen the leg muscles and restore knee movement. By following the recommended exercise regimen, patients can regain their ability to walk and resume normal daily activities shortly after the surgery.
