When should you consider knee replacement surgery?
-
Knee replacement surgery is usually considered when knee pain becomes persistent and disabling, despite trying non-surgical treatments such as medications, physical therapy, or injections. If pain interferes with daily activities—like walking, standing, climbing stairs, or performing basic tasks—and affects quality of life, it may be time to explore surgical options. Severe arthritis, such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, that leads to significant joint damage, loss of cartilage, or deformities like joint misalignment or bone spurs, are strong indicators for surgery.
Patients who experience constant pain that disrupts sleep or limits their mobility may also be candidates. If conservative measures fail to provide relief, and diagnostic imaging (like X-rays) shows advanced damage to the knee joint, knee replacement surgery is often recommended. Additionally, patients who find it increasingly difficult to remain active or independent due to knee issues, and who have limited options for other treatments, might consider surgery. The decision is influenced by factors like age, general health, activity level, and specific goals, and should be made in consultation with an orthopedic surgeon who can assess the best course of action for individual needs.
