FAQs about Total Knee Replacement Surgery

The results of total knee replacement (TKR) surgery may be long-lasting, but not permanent. Most artificial knee replacements can last between 15 to 20 years. However, the durability of the implant may depend on the type of implant used, and the patient’s age, overall health, and physical activity level after surgery. The artificial knee replacement may wear out over time and need to be revised or replaced with revision surgery. Following a balanced diet and exercise plan, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding high-impact activities, and going for regular follow-up appointments with your doctor can help prolong the life of the knee joint implant.

There are no age limits for undergoing total knee replacement (TKR) surgery. Doctors decide whether someone is eligible for the surgery based on a patient's overall health condition, medical history, and disability, not age. Most individuals who undergo knee replacement are between the ages of 50 to 80. However, total knee replacements can be performed successfully for all ages.

Contact your doctor immediately if you notice signs of infection such as: 

• Fever
• Redness
• Swelling
• Bleeding
• Increased pain around the incision site
• Drainage from the incision site

You should also seek immediate medical help if you notice signs of a blood clot in the leg, such as redness, tenderness, or swelling below the knee, or in the calf, ankle, or foot.

A total knee replacement (TKR) is performed by an orthopedic surgeon. Orthopedic surgeons are doctors who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders of the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles.
