Frequently asked questions
- Is it possible to avoid the surgery with joint infiltrations or alternative therapy?
-
Some cases may improve, but some won’t. Joints with advanced damage will only get better after surgery.
- What is the minimum age to get knee surgery?
-
There is no restriction regarding age. It is usually recommended for patients over 55 years old, although if a young person has a disease, we can order a special prosthesis.
- How long does the knee surgery last?
-
It takes approximately an hour and a half and requires a night of hospitalization.
- When will I be able to walk again?
-
Within a week, you will be able to start walking.
- Can I have surgery on both knees?
-
Some large hospitals have the equipment to replace both knees. However, I won’t recommend it since the risk of trans-surgical complications increases.
