Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the damaged knee joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint (prosthesis). This aids in easing discomfort and regaining functionality for severely damaged knee joints.
A simultaneous bilateral knee replacement involves replacing both of your knees at the same time. The main advantages of this procedure are a shorter hospital stay and a quicker recovery because both knees heal at the same time.
The majority of knee replacements have a lifespan of more than 15 years and provide pain relief, improved mobility, and a higher quality of life. Most of the daily activities can be resumed three to six weeks after surgery. However, because knee replacement is a major procedure, complications like infections, blood clots, heart attacks, strokes, nerve damage, failure of the artificial joint, and the requirement for blood transfusions are possible.
