Knee Replacement
Knee joint replacement: returning to an active life
The knee joint is one of the most burdened in the body, so it may lose its functionality over time or due to injuries. Knee joint replacement is a modern and highly effective method that allows for the restoration of mobility, elimination of pain, and significant improvement in the quality of life. This operation is suitable for patients with pronounced osteoarthritis, joint surface damage, and other pathologies that limit movement and cause pain.
When is knee joint replacement necessary?
Replacement often becomes the optimal solution for patients who no longer find relief from conservative treatments—medication, physiotherapy, or injection therapy. Among the main indications are:
- late-stage osteoarthritis accompanied by the wearing out of cartilage tissue
- post-traumatic arthritis following severe knee injuries
- rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory joint diseases
- joint deformity leading to changes in gait and significant mobility restrictions
According to the International Society of Orthopedic Surgery, more than 2 million knee joint replacement operations are performed annually. In 90–95% of cases, patients return to an active lifestyle without pain.
Today's orthopedic methods
Advanced methods used in orthopedics today make surgeries maximally safe and effective. Key achievements include:
- personalized implants: modern prostheses are developed taking into account the anatomical features of the patient, allowing for a more natural restoration of functions
- minimally invasive techniques: these include the use of small incisions and special tools, which reduce the trauma of the procedure and speed up rehabilitation
- computer navigation: innovative systems help surgeons plan the operation and install the implant with precision. Studies show that such methods reduce the risk of complications and increase the lifespan of the prosthesis
- durability of materials: modern implants are made from biocompatible alloys and high-density polyethylene, allowing them to withstand significant loads for 15–20 years or more

Rehabilitation after knee joint replacement plays a key role
On average, patients begin to stand on their feet the day after surgery. Full recovery takes from 3 to 6 months depending on individual characteristics. Main rehabilitation stages include:
- physiotherapeutic exercises to strengthen muscles and restore mobility
- load level control on the joint with gradual increase in activity
- consultations with rehabilitation specialists to adapt the recovery plan
Research confirms that adhering to the rehabilitation program reduces the risk of complications by 30% and achieves the maximum functional result.
