Are you a person who has been advised to go for Knee Replacement Surgery by your doctor. If so, you should know some of the facts.
The Knee replacement surgery is highly recommended to those who have difficulties in performing the daily activities with knee and have stiff pain.
There would obviously be doubts in ones mind about what happens during and after surgery.
During Surgery
The damaged part of the knee joint is removed from the surface of bones and then the surface is molded to hold a plastic or synthetic joint. The process of attaching the artificial joint to the thigh bone, shin and knee cap is done with a cement or with some other materials. The surgery is being performed under anesthesia. The artificial joint starts to work like a real joint with the support from surrounding muscles and ligaments
After Surgery
Hospital stay after the surgery would be of 3 to 5 days. Dramatic improvement could be visible to those who undergo knee replacement surgery. This is highly notable after one month or 15 days of the surgery.

During Initial days after the surgery you will be advised to move the joint and walk with the help of parallel bars. Once the day progresses minimal assistance would be required to walk or doing other activities. Muscle strength could be achieved through physiotherapy. Enjoy the daily activities.
Advance Knee Replacement Surgery
Minimal Invasive Knee Replacement has made immense progress in the field of Knee Replacement surgery. Why it so became revolution? It uses special techniques and procedures to perform the surgery without larger incision. A much smaller incision of 3 to 5 inches is required to perform the surgery. It promises less tissue damage, Less pain, less stay at hospital, less scarring.
How can I assure that Knee Replacement Surgery is safe?
The surgery has been performed for several years and the surgical methodologies are being improved as the time progresses. As like other surgeries some risks are there in this surgery as well. The movement will be restricted initially and the main concern is the blood clot. Blood thinners will be given to reduce the clotting.
Breathing problems may arise since the fat in the bone marrow will become loose which enters to blood stream and to lungs causing the problem.
If the bone breaks during the surgery then the hospital stay would be longer.
