Knee replacement surgery needs to be considered after all conservative treatments have been exhausted and you have not experienced positive results. If you have a stiff, painful knee that prevents you from performing even the simplest of activities and other treatments are no longer working, surgery can be an effective option. Among other things, total knee replacement surgery is used to correct knee joint or bone trauma and mild valgus or varus deformity.There are two types of knee replacements: partial replacements and total replacements.

The metal prosthesis is only on one side of the knee, where the arthritis, or cartilage loss, was the most severe.

This joint is attached to the thighbone, shin, and kneecap, either with cement or special surgical material. When put together, the attached artificial parts form the joint, relying on surrounding muscles and ligaments for support and function.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5defb99 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5defb99\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Recovering from Knee Replacement Surgery\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af9f663 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"af9f663\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The surgery comes with substantial postoperative pain, and requires vigorous physical rehabilitation to guarantee the success of the procedure.

The recovery period may be six weeks or longer, and will most likely involve the use of mobility aids like crutches or a walker to enable the patient\u00b4s return to preoperative mobility.To learn more about our surgical services and treatment options, please schedule a consultation with Beverly Hills knee replacement surgeon Dr. Millstein by calling (310) 595-1030.<\/p><p>Physical therapy and occupational therapy is needed to restore motion, strength, and function.
