When Do You Need a Knee Replacement?

Knee pain can be frustrating—it limits your mobility, affects daily activities, and lowers your quality of life. While medications, physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes help many patients, sometimes these measures are not enough.

This is when knee replacement surgery becomes a life-changing solution. At Kossin Care, Bangalore, Dr. Vinayaraj M. Kelagadi, Orthopaedic and Joint Replacement Specialist, explains when you should consider knee replacement and how it can restore pain-free movement.

What is Knee Replacement?

Knee replacement (also called Total Knee Replacement or TKR) is a surgical procedure where the damaged or worn-out surfaces of the knee joint are replaced with artificial implants. This helps reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore joint function.

Signs You May Need a Knee Replacement

You may need to consider knee replacement if you are experiencing:

1. Severe Knee Pain – Persistent pain even at rest or during sleep.

2. Stiffness and Reduced Mobility – Difficulty in walking, climbing stairs, or bending the knee.

3. Swelling and Inflammation – Chronic knee swelling that does not improve with medication or physiotherapy.

4. Failed Non-Surgical Treatments – If pain persists despite medicines, injections, or physiotherapy.

5. Deformity of the Knee – Bowing in/out of the legs due to arthritis or degeneration.

6. Loss of Quality of Life – When pain limits daily activities like sitting, standing, or even enjoying social life.

Knee Replacement (KTR) isn’t about surgery—it’s about giving you back the freedom to move without pain

Who is the Right Candidate?

According to Dr. Vinayaraj M. Kelagadi, the right candidates for knee replacement are those who:

• Suffer from advanced osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.

• Have joint damage from previous injuries.

• Are unable to lead a normal lifestyle due to knee pain.

• Have not found relief from conservative treatments.
