Double Knee Replacement Both Knee Replacement Together
Knee replacement is a surgical procedure that decreases pain and improves
the quality of life in many patients with severe knee arthritis. Typically,
patients undergo this surgery after non-operative treatments (such as activity
modification, anti-inflammatory medications, or knee joint injections) have
failed to provide relief of arthritic symptoms. Surgeons have performed knee
replacements for over three decades, generally with excellent results; most
reports
Both Knee Replacement (Bilateral)
Knee replacement surgery is the most common joint replacement procedure.
Many people have knee arthritis , but it can be difficult to know when the
right time to have a knee replacement surgery is. Furthermore, there is
confusion about what to expect from knee replacement surgery.
Slide 3:
The benefits of Same-Day-Both-Knee Surgery are that it takes you half
the time to fully recover from the knee surgery. Although you are out of
bed and walking on the second day after surgery and climbing stairs 5 days
after surgery, it takes approximately 3 months to fully recover from this
surgery and have complete freedom to do what you like.
If you are planning to do one knee surgery at a time, this means it will take
(3+3) 6 months for full recovery!. Of course not everyone is fit enough for
both knee surgery. But if you are a fit person, then it makes sense to have
both knees operated at the same time. Most of my patients prefer both knee
surgery on the same day and if they are fit I offer it to them.
Common Knee Disorders
Over time, the cartilage that cushions the joint can deteriorate, causing pain
and stiffness, when bones rub directly against each other. Knee pain originally
may be only felt when a person is bending or putting pressure on the knee
(such as while walking or going up and down stairs). Eventually the pain may
become more frequent or nearly constant. Pain relieving medications or
walking aids may work temporarily, but the only long-term solution in many
cases is knee replacement surgery.
Slide 4:
Osteoarthritis
The most common type of arthritis, osteoarthritis, generally develops from
“wear and tear” of the cartilage and lubricating surfaces of the bones that
connect at the joint. As we age, many of us will develop degenerative arthritis
of one or more of our joints. This arthritis is characterized by destruction of
the natural cushioning and lubricating surfaces of the joint and may be
accompanied by bony overgrowth (bone spurs). In the most severe cases,
all the cartilage will have worn away and there will be bone-on-bone contact.
Avascular necrosis
Characterized by localized bone death, avascular necrosis results from
disruption of blood flow to the bone. The bone death may be painful and
usually causes the bone to collapse, which can lead to joint destruction and
arthritis.
