Total knee replacements and partial knee replacements are commonly performed surgeries for seniors to address pain associated with arthritis.
Osteoarthritis is the most common type, which often causes debilitating pain, limited range of motion and instability of the knee joint. Persistent knee pain, despite conservative measures, such as medication and weight management, along with factors like knee deformity or limited functionality, may make seniors eligible for knee replacement.
Total knee replacement is an option when arthritis has progressed to all three compartments of the knee or when patients are ineligible for partial knee replacement. Total knee replacement is an option for seniors experiencing severe knee pain or stiffness resulting from degenerative joint disease , rheumatoid arthritis or post-traumatic arthritis of the entire knee.
Long-term durability: Advances in surgical materials and techniques have improved the durability of total knee replacements, providing long-lasting relief and improved joint function.Partial knee replacement is a surgical procedure focused on replacing only one or two affected areas of the knee joint.
Partial knee replacement is a good option for patients experiencing severe knee pain or stiffness resulting from degenerative joint disease , rheumatoid arthritis or post-traumatic arthritis in only part of the knee joint. Partial knee replacement offers several benefits compared to total knee replacement, including:
Faster recovery: Partial knee replacement allows for a faster recovery period compared to total knee replacement. Patients often are able to walk without any assistive devices within two weeks of surgery and return to normal function more rapidly.To determine if a senior is eligible for knee replacement surgery, several criteria are considered:
No marked stiffness or significant angular deformity: Severe stiffness or significant angular deformities in the knee may disqualify seniors from partial knee replacement.The expected recovery time for a total knee replacement for seniors can vary based on several factors.
