Pros and Cons of Knee Replacing Surgery Knee arthroplasty, or knee joint replacement, is a widely employed surgical method for relieving pain and regaining function of severely diseased or damaged knee joints. Advantages of knee replacement surgery 1. Relief from pain The main reason patients get a knee replacement is chronic, debilitating pain. The majority of patients report great relief from pain after surgery, improving their overall well-being. 2. Improved mobility Regaining the affected knee joint makes patients walk, climb, and perform daily activities with much greater ease and comfort. 3. Better quality of life Relief of pain and restored function will often lead to improved mental health, a good sleep, and greater independence, especially in the older person. 4. Correction of deformity Many patients are inflicted with knee deformities like bowed legs or knock-knees. This will be corrected by a replacement knee, permitting ideal alignment and posture. 5. Long-lasting results Modern prostheses for the knee are designed to last 15–20 years or more, especially with better surgical techniques and materials used for implants. 6. Reduction in dependance on medication After surgery, patients can usually reduce or discontinue long-term painkiller and anti-inflammatory drugs, which have negative effects if used in the long term.
