Knee Replacement Surgery

Knee replacement surgery is one of the most reliable treatments for patients suffering from severe arthritis, chronic knee pain, and joint injuries. During the procedure, the damaged joint surfaces are replaced with advanced prosthetic implants, resulting in significant pain relief, restored mobility, and improved quality of life. In Iran, this surgery is performed by leading orthopedic surgeons in modern hospitals, at costs up to 60% lower than in Europe or the Middle East.

Patients must follow a structured rehabilitation program to strengthen the knee and increase joint mobility. Without proper exercises, the new joint may become stiff. Pain medication is important during the early days after surgery, and blood thinners are prescribed to reduce the risk of blood clots—a common postoperative concern. Early walking and leg movements are strongly encouraged.

Follow-up visits with the surgeon (weeks, months, and yearly checkups) are necessary to monitor healing, check the implant, and rule out complications such as infection or loosening.

Possible Complications and Precautions

Although knee replacement is a routine and successful procedure, complications may include:

  • Joint infection
  • Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism)
  • Implant loosening or wear over time

Patients should carefully follow postoperative instructions, maintain wound hygiene, avoid wetting the incision, take anticoagulants as prescribed, and report symptoms such as swelling, redness, fever, or sudden pain.
