Understanding Knee Replacement Surgery
Orthopaedic knee replacement surgery is a life-changing medical intervention. This procedure, which replaces damaged or diseased parts of the knee with artificial components, has offered countless individuals an easy life from debilitating knee pain and restricted mobility.
But what does the landscape of life look like post-surgery? The journey towards renewed mobility, freedom, and quality of life is best understood through the lens of expert orthopedic care provided at KIMSHEALTH Kottayam.
Post-Surgery: The Crucial First Days
In the immediate few days of knee replacement surgery, patients typically spend a few days in the hospital under the attentive care of our ortho doctors at KIMSHEALTH Kottayam. This period is crucial for managing post-surgical pain, preventing potential complications, and kickstarting physical therapy exercises to promote knee strength and flexibility.
The Journey of Healing: Short-term Rehabilitation
Upon discharge, the significant short-term recovery phase begins, spanning approximately 6 to 12 weeks. This phase encompasses a personalized physical therapy regimen, a selection of exercises to regain knee strength and enhance mobility, and prescribed medication to manage pain and inflammation. The dedicated team at KIMSHEALTH, spearheaded by some of the top orthopaedic surgeons in Kottayam, supports patients throughout this phase, offering professional care and guidance to ensure optimal recovery.
The Path to Normalcy: Long-Term Rehabilitation
The long-term recovery phase, which can last several months, is crucial for deriving maximum benefits from knee replacement surgery. This period concentrates on enhancing knee functionality, allowing patients to gradually resume normal activities. Regular follow-ups with our orthopedic doctors are essential during this time to monitor progress, address any issues promptly, and modify the rehabilitation plan as necessary.
Rediscovering Mobility and Independence
One of the most transformative aspects of life post-knee replacement surgery is the return of mobility and independence. Freed from the shackles of pain, patients have the freedom of walking, standing, and conducting everyday tasks with ease.
Under the patient-centric care approach of KIMSHEALTH's orthopedic team, patients are equipped with the support and tools needed to make this transition as smooth as possible, enabling them to embrace an active lifestyle once again.

Preserving Your New Knee: Post-Surgical Care
The journey doesn't end with the surgery. Living with a knee replacement means adapting to a new care regime to preserve the health of your new knee. This routine comprises regular exercise to maintain knee strength and flexibility, a balanced diet to support overall health and bone strength, and consistent check-ups with your orthopedic surgeon. Life post-knee replacement isn't about dealing with limitations; it's about celebrating a renewed lease on life, free from debilitating pain.
Staying Active: Physical Activity and Exercise
Exercise and physical activity form a significant part of life after knee replacement surgery. Incorporating low-impact exercises, such as swimming, cycling, and walking, can significantly enhance joint health and overall well-being. The ortho doctors at KIMSHEALTH Kottayam can provide professional guidance to design a balanced and personalized exercise plan, ensuring that patients remain active and healthy.
