Knee replacement is a planned procedure that requires proper preparation for optimal outcomes. Prior to surgery, patients undergo a thorough clinical assessment, including blood tests, imaging, cardiac clearance, and anesthetic evaluation.
Medications such as blood thinners or anti-inflammatory drugs may need to be adjusted or stopped several days before the procedure. Patients are advised to maintain a balanced diet and manage blood sugar, blood pressure, and any existing medical conditions.
Prehabilitation—guided physiotherapy before surgery—may be recommended to improve joint mobility and strengthen surrounding muscles. Smoking and alcohol consumption should be discontinued at least two weeks before surgery.
On the day of surgery, patients should arrive fasting as instructed, with all required medical documents and investigations. A spinal or general anesthetic will be administered. The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours, followed by a monitored stay in the recovery unit.
Postoperative recovery involves early mobilization, physiotherapy, and wound care. Hospital stay typically ranges from 3 to 5 days. Most patients can resume basic activities within 4 to 6 weeks, with full recovery in 3 to 6 months.
