Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement Surgery: Symptoms, Classification, Diagnosis & Recovery

Invasive Knee Replacement Surgery begins with the patient receiving anaesthesia to ensure they are comfortable and free of pain during the procedure. A larger incision, typically 6-8 inches long, is made to access the knee joint. The surgeon removes the damaged bone and cartilage, including parts of the femur, tibia, and sometimes the patella. Artificial joint components, often made of metal, plastic, or ceramic, are inserted to replace the damaged areas. After the new components are in place, the incision is closed. The patient is monitored throughout recovery, and physical therapy is initiated soon after to help regain mobility and strength in the knee.

Here are the signs and symptoms of Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement Surgery,

  • Pain
  • Stiffness
  • Swelling
  • Instability
  • Limited motion
  • Tenderness
  • Deformity
  • Weakness

Recovery after Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement Surgery typically involves a hospital stay of 1 to 3 days, where patients are monitored and pain management begins, along with initial physical therapy to encourage mobility. In the first 1 to 2 weeks, the focus is on reducing pain and swelling, with light exercises and walking supported by crutches or a walker. By 4 to 6 weeks, most patients can resume light activities, although high-impact movements are still restricted.

Full recovery, including strength, flexibility, and knee function, generally occurs within 3 to 6 months with ongoing therapy. Complete healing and the full benefits of the surgery are usually realised within 1 year, with regular follow-ups to ensure proper recovery and continued progress.
