Frequently Asked Questions
How long does recovery take after a knee replacement?
Most patients can walk with assistance within a day or two after surgery. Full recovery typically takes 3 to 6 months, with physical therapy playing a key role in restoring strength and range of motion.
How long does a knee implant last?
Modern knee implants are designed to last 15 to 25 years or more, depending on the patient's activity level, weight, and overall health. Advances in materials and surgical techniques continue to improve implant longevity.
Am I too young or too old for knee replacement surgery?
There is no strict age limit for knee replacement. Surgeons evaluate each patient based on the severity of joint damage, pain level, impact on daily life, and overall health rather than age alone. While the procedure is most common in patients aged 55 to 80, younger patients with severe arthritis and older patients in good health can both be excellent candidates.
What physical therapy is required after knee replacement abroad?
Physical therapy begins on the first day after surgery and continues for several months. While abroad, the hospital physiotherapy team will guide you through initial exercises to restore range of motion. After returning home, you will need to continue a structured rehabilitation program with a local physiotherapist for 8 to 12 weeks. Your surgical team will provide a detailed rehab protocol to ensure continuity of care.
What are the risks of knee replacement surgery?
While knee replacement is a safe and well-established procedure, potential risks include infection, blood clots in the leg or lungs, stiffness, nerve damage, and implant loosening over time. Serious complications occur in fewer than 2 percent of cases at high-volume centers. Choosing an experienced surgeon at an accredited hospital, following pre-surgical preparation guidelines, and adhering to your rehabilitation program significantly reduce these risks.
