Knee replacement surgery is a common procedure for people with arthritis or a known knee injury, offering significant benefits but also some risks. The most notable benefit is pain relief, as surgery can eliminate or reduce chronic knee pain, allowing patients to return to normal daily activities. Additionally, multiple trials have shown improved joint function and mobility, improved walking, climbing stairs, and participating in light exercise. These benefits contribute to improved quality of life and overall well-being. The results of knee replacement can be long-lasting, with most prostheses lasting 15 to 20 years or more.

Surgery also comes with potential risks. Infection is a major concern, as with any surgery, and blood clots can form after surgery, posing a serious threat if they travel to the lungs. In rare cases, a knee implant may fail or disintegrate over time, requiring revision surgery. Damage to veins or blood vessels during the procedure, although uncommon, can lead to long-term complications. Some patients may also experience stiffness or limited range of motion in the knee despite physical therapy, and others may continue to experience discomfort or pain after surgery. Before choosing a knee replacement, patients should consider factors such as age, health, and the severity of their condition. Although recovery can take several months, the decision to proceed should be made in close consultation with a healthcare provider to ensure the best possible outcome.
