Who Needs Knee Replacement Surgery?

If knee pain has prevented you from enjoying some of life's simple pleasures - taking a walk, walking up and down stairs, working in the garden - we can help. If other treatments including pain medications are no longer working, you can lead and active and normal life after knee replacement surgery.

 

What Happens During Knee Replacement Surgery?

 

Once you are under general anesthesia (meaning you are temporarily put to sleep), spinal, or epidural (numb below the waist) anesthesia, an eight- to twelve-inch cut is made in the front of the knee. The damaged part of the joint is removed from the surface of the bones, and the surfaces are then shaped to hold a metal or plastic artificial joint. The artificial joint is attached to the thigh bone, shin and knee cap either with cement or a special material. When fit together, the attached artificial parts form the joint, relying on the surrounding muscles and ligaments for support and function.

Don't worry, you'll get all the explanations, education and support you need from one of our experienced surgeons who will evaluate your unique situation in a private consultation. In addition, our Houston knee replacement professionals will assist you with your insurance pre-qualifications and with other financial options.

Benefits of Knee Replacement Surgery

Advances in medical technology and techniques have made knee replacement surgery one of the most routine and successful surgeries. Most patients regain participation in activities they've been forced to give up.

 

  • Improve your overall quality of life.
    • With less pain and greater mobility, you'll be able to perform daily tasks and low-impact activities more easily and lead a more comfortable, more independent life.
  • Dramatically reduce knee pain.
    • According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS), more than 90% of total knee replacement patients experience a dramatic reduction of knee pain.
  • Improve your range of motion.
    • While your artificial knee won't be as good as your real knee was in its prime, its range of motion should noticeably increase.
  • Enjoy years of performance.
    • The most common long-term problem is the gradual loosening of the prosthesis, primarily due to the effects of your weight and activity level. In most cases, the artificial knee can be replaced.
