The average recovery time for a knee replacement surgery is approximately six months, but it can take roughly 12 months to fully return to physically demanding activities.

The first orthopedic appointment typically involves an evaluation of your medical history. You can also expect physical tests and diagnostic examinations to examine your injury or condition. The orthopedic surgeon can assess anything from swelling to your range of motion, to reflexes, or even the condition of your skin. The doctor might order an X-ray, ultrasound or/and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan if further investigation is required.

1. Ligament injuries
   The knee has four major ligaments and they are all vulnerable to damage.


2. Meniscal tears
   The meniscus slowly degenerates over the years. As a result, older adults can tear the meniscus during normal daily movements.


3. Osteoarthritis
   Suffering a ligament injury, meniscal tear, or traumatic knee injury increases your risk of developing post-traumatic arthritis. This type of osteoarthritis develops at a faster pace because of the joint damage.


4. Tendon injuries
   Running and jumping activities can injure both tendons. You’re more likely to have knee pain when the patellar tendon becomes inflamed.


5. Fractures and dislocations
   When the kneecap is fractured, it often breaks into pieces that move out of place and need reconstructive surgery. A dislocation also requires special care to prevent chronic knee instability.

Chronic pain is generally thought of as pain that exists for three months or more, and does not resolve in response to treatment. It most often affects the musculoskeletal system, such as bones or joints, and can cause pain and discomfort that can affect daily activities.

For some patients, recovery takes a few weeks. For others, it can take several months. Depending on your overall health, the condition for which you were treated, and the type of surgery performed, you may be able to go home the same day or the day after surgery even if you have had a total joint replacement surgery.
