How Does my Artificial Knee Stay in Place after Knee Replacement?

Knee replacement is a complex surgical procedure in which the damaged knee is resurfaced with artificial implants. There are different types of implants made up of metals, plastic, and ceramic. While you are getting prepared for the surgery, your orthopedic surgeon may suggest an implant that will be used for your surgery. Choosing the right implant may depend upon various factors such as age, weight, activity, and general health.
 
Points to remember after Knee replacement surgery:
• Do not get involved in heavy impact activity even after full recovery
• Keep up with your exercise routine to strengthen muscles around the knee, which supports the artificial knee implant
• Proper weight management will help you in putting less pressure on your new implant resulting in less wear and tear
 
Taking good care of an operated knee can increase the life of the artificial implants that can last for more than 20 years.
 
Consult Dr. Biren Nadkarni, a Senior Orthopedic Consultant, and Surgeon, for all the precautions that need to be taken after ACL reconstruction surgery. He will be available in person at his clinic - Joint & Bone Solutions situated at Hauz Khas, New Delhi as well as through online consultation. He can be reached at Sitaram Bhartia Institute and Holy Family Hospital also.
