Our innovative treatments, developed in Argentina, help people like you avoid joint replacement and other invasive surgeries, allowing you to return to the activities you need, faster and without surgery.
Have you had knee pain for years?
It is incredibly common for doctors to recommend knee replacement surgery as a remedy for long-lasting, cumbersome, or debilitating knee pain.
It’s important to keep in mind, if your doctor has recommended knee replacement surgery, that this surgery is not without risks and side effects. Also called total knee arthroplasty, knee replacement surgery involves the surgeon amputating or cutting away the existing knee joint, reshaping the bone, and inserting a prosthetic device in place of the natural joint.
Before scheduling surgery to correct your knee pain, here are 4 things you should know about knee replacement surgery to fully understand the seriousness of the procedure being recommended:
1) There is a significant risk inherent in the knee replacement surgery procedure.
Unfortunately, knee replacement surgery is not a simple procedure. This extensive, invasive surgery carries some significant risks that you should understand before agreeing to it. These risks include: – Infection after surgery is possible – Heart attack or stroke immediately after surgery – Metal ions could end up in the bloodstream – You could have an allergic reaction to the metal in the prosthesis. – Infection after surgery is possible. Make sure you understand and are comfortable with the risks associated with knee replacement before choosing to undergo the procedure. It is recommended that you explore non-surgical knee replacement alternatives.
2) Your knee pain may not go away after surgery.
Forty percent of patients who underwent invasive surgery reported continued pain rated between 4 and 5 on a 10-point scale. If you thought the goal of knee replacement surgery was to solve your knee pain problem, you would be right. That’s why it should surprise patients to discover that a significant number of those who have undergone knee replacement surgery still experience knee pain after the procedure is complete. If you’re under the impression that surgery will be a surefire and complete solution to your knee pain problems, you might want to reconsider.
3) Post-surgical activity levels may never improve.
A US study found no increase in daily activity among patients who had undergone knee replacement surgery (Kahn TL, Schwarzkopf R. Does Total Knee Arthroplasty Affect Physical Activity Levels? Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative. J Arthroplasty. 2015 Sep;30(9):1521-5. doi: 10.1016/j.arth.2015.03.016), and another showed that if patients did not run regularly before knee replacement surgery, it was incredibly unlikely they would run regularly after the procedure. Very few patients noticeably increased their activity levels after knee replacement surgery.
4) Unrealistic expectations about knee replacement surgery only increase dissatisfaction with the results.
Patients often have the impression that knee replacement surgery will solve all their lingering knee problems. Unfortunately, the data does not support these expectations, leaving many patients dissatisfied with only minor changes after surgery. Many experts are re-evaluating whether knee surgery is the best option as regenerative medicine advances.
