When should I see a knee doctor?
If you experience persistent knee pain, swelling, stiffness, instability, or difficulty bearing weight on your knee, it's important to consult with a knee doctor for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Additionally, if you suffer a knee injury or trauma, such as a direct blow to the knee or a popping sensation followed by pain and swelling, seek medical attention promptly.
What is the difference between a partial and total knee replacement?
A partial knee replacement, also called a unicompartmental knee replacement, involves replacing only the damaged portion of the knee joint, typically the medial (inner) or lateral (outer) compartment. A total knee replacement involves replacing the entire knee joint, including the femoral, tibial, and patellar components.
How can I prevent knee problems?
To help prevent knee problems, maintain a healthy weight, engage in regular low-impact exercises to strengthen the muscles around your knees, practice proper techniques when playing sports or exercising, and wear appropriate footwear. If you have underlying health conditions that affect your knees, work closely with your healthcare provider to manage these conditions and reduce your risk of knee issues.
What is arthroscopic knee surgery?
Arthroscopic knee surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments inserted through tiny incisions to diagnose and treat various knee conditions. This approach offers several benefits compared to traditional open surgery, including less pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery times.
How long does it take to recover from knee surgery?
Recovery time after knee surgery varies depending on the specific procedure and individual factors. Minor arthroscopic procedures may require a few weeks of recovery, while more complex surgeries, such as ACL reconstruction or total knee replacement, may take several months. Your knee doctor will provide a personalized recovery timeline and guide you through the post-operative care process, which may include physical therapy, to ensure optimal healing and results.
