Operative Knee Treatment Options

Total Knee Replacement

When knee pain continues to persist even with non-operative treatments, it may become necessary to undergo a total knee replacement surgery.

  • Beneficial when the knee joint has worn down to the point where the joint is no longer sliding smoothly.
  • Surgery involves removal of damaged knee parts
  • Implants selected to recreate smooth joint surface
  • Typically a 1.5-hour procedure
  • Can be performed as an outpatient surgery so  you can go home the same day and sleep in your own bed

Revision of A Total Knee Replacement

  • Implants are designed for long-lasting use (typically 10-20 years)
  • Rare but there is a possibility of wear or failure
  • Increased risk when overweight or involved in high-impact activities
  • Revision surgery needed when knee replacement fails
  • Procedure involves replacing old device with a new one
  • Revision surgeries require more planning, specialized tools, and surgical skill
  • Surgery time for revision: 2-3 hours, compared to 1.5 hours for primary replacement
