Knee Replacement Q&A

What is knee replacement?

Knee replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that replaces damaged or worn portions of the knee joint with artificial components. The goal of knee replacement is to relieve pain, improve joint function, and restore mobility so patients can return to daily activities more comfortably and confidently when nonsurgical treatments are no longer effective.

This procedure is most often recommended for people with advanced arthritis or severe knee damage that interferes with daily life. Depending on your condition, your surgeon may recommend a partial knee replacement, which replaces only the damaged portion of the joint, or a total knee replacement, which resurfaces the entire knee joint.

At Texas Health Care Fort Worth’s Bone & Joint Clinic, the orthopedic specialists carefully evaluate your symptoms, imaging results, and overall health to determine whether knee replacement is the right option for you.

What symptoms may indicate the need for knee replacement?

You may be a candidate for knee replacement if you experience:

Persistent knee pain that doesn’t improve with rest or medication
Stiffness or limited range of motion
Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods
Knee instability or weakness
Swelling or inflammation that doesn’t resolve
Pain that interferes with sleep or daily activities

If knee pain continues despite physical therapy, injections, or other treatments, surgical evaluation may be appropriate.

How is knee replacement performed?

Knee replacement surgery involves removing damaged cartilage and bone from the knee joint and replacing them with durable artificial components designed to mimic natural movement. The procedure is typically followed by a structured rehabilitation program.

Recovery focuses on pain management, restoring range of motion, and rebuilding strength through physical therapy. Most patients experience significant pain relief and improved function within weeks to months after surgery.

If knee pain is limiting your quality of life, you don’t have to live with it. The specialists at Texas Health Care Fort Worth’s Bone & Joint Clinic provide expert surgical care and ongoing support throughout your recovery.
