How long does it take to recover from a knee placement surgery?

The average recovery time for a knee replacement surgery is approximately six months, but it can take roughly 12 months to fully return to physically demanding activities.

What should I expect when I go for an orthopedic appointment?

The first orthopedic appointment typically involves an evaluation of your medical history. You can also expect physical tests and diagnostic examinations to examine your injury or condition. The orthopedic surgeon can assess anything from swelling to your range of motion, to reflexes, or even the condition of your skin. The doctor might order an X-ray, ultrasound or/and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan if further investigation is required.

Do Columbia Asia hospitals accept health insurance?

Yes. Columbia Asia is panel hospital for various insurance companies and third party administrators, both local and international. We provide the means for you to receive medical coverage, giving you peace of mind while you are under our care.

What are the 5 causes of knee pain?
  1. Ligament injuries The knee has four major ligaments and they are all vulnerable to damage.
  2. Meniscal tears The meniscus slowly degenerates over the years. As a result, older adults can tear the meniscus during normal daily movements.
  3. Osteoarthritis Suffering a ligament injury, meniscal tear, or traumatic knee injury increases your risk of developing post-traumatic arthritis. This type of osteoarthritis develops at a faster pace because of the joint damage.
  4. Tendon injuries Running and jumping activities can injure both tendons. You’re more likely to have knee pain when the patellar tendon becomes inflamed.
  5. Fractures and dislocations When the kneecap is fractured, it often breaks into pieces that move out of place and need reconstructive surgery. A dislocation also requires special care to prevent chronic knee instability.
Do you offer pain management treatments?
 

Yes, we help patients in managing their pain through medications. Our team of physiotherapists also assist patients in managing their pain and getting them back to normal life through rehabilitation

What qualifies pain as chronic?
Chronic pain is generally thought of as pain that exists for three months or more, and does not resolve in response to treatment. It most often affects the musculoskeletal system, such as bones or joints, and can cause pain and discomfort that can affect daily activities.
How long does it take to recover from a surgery?
For some patients, recovery takes a few weeks. For others, it can take several months. Depending on your overall health, the condition for which you were treated, and the type of surgery performed, you may be able to go home the same day or the day after surgery even if you have had a total joint replacement surgery.
