If your knee shows advanced wear and tear (osteoarthritis) and fysiotherapy has no effect on your complaints, you can consider surgical placement of a knee prosthesis. The orthopedic surgeon chooses from a number of prostheses.
In the total knee arthroplasty, the entire knee is replaced by a plastic meniscus block. There is also a half prosthesis. Finally, the specialist can decide to replace the back of the kneecap with a button in the case of a total knee prosthesis. Each prosthesis has its own rehabilitation process.
Your attending physician will decide in consultation with you which prosthesis is the best solution for your knee problem. After the operation, it is important to make an appointment with one of our specialists within a week fysiomaking therapists. This way we can get to work with you quickly and work on restoring the mobility of your knee.
