Avoid Knee Replacement Surgery

Be Aware of the Risks Associated with Knee Replacement Surgery

As with any surgery, knee replacement surgery carries risks. There is a chance you could experience the following post-surgical complications:

- Infection

- Heart attack

- Stroke

- Nerve damages

- Post surgical pain

- Blood clots in the leg vein or lungs

- Allergic reactions to anesthesia

Another risk of knee replacement surgery is failure of the artificial joint. With daily use, even the strongest metal and plastic parts eventually wear out. Joint failure risk is high if you stress the joint with high-impact activities or excessive weight.

Even if you have tried all other non-surgical treatment methods and your pain continues to limit activities, viscosupplementation may be the option.

In this procedure, a gel-like fluid called hyaluronic acid is injected into the knee joint. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in synovial fluid surrounding

joints. It acts like a lubricant to enable bones to move smoothly over each other and as a shock absorber for joint loads.
