How Long Does It Take To Recover From Joint
Replacement?
• Joint Replacement refers to the surgery which is
undertaken for osteoarthritis, replacing the deteriorated
cartilage with substitutes composed of plastic, metallic,
or ceramic materials to protect your joint bones from
crushing or damaging further. While the condition is
common with joints functioning as the prime point of our
activities, arthritis and joint replacement generally
comprise two types: hip and knee joints.
Recovery Time Taken
• The time taken for recovery from hip joint
replacement and knee joint differs due to
its distinct functionality and the surgery
procedure adopted. While the hip joint
takes curtailed time to heal, the knee joint
on the other hand requires prolonged time
to rotate and adjust to your movements. By
understanding the recovery time, an
individual can efficiently plan their surgery.
Hip replacement surgery recovery time is estimated to be around 6 weeks,
wherein the patient can resume their routine work after 6 weeks. Knee
replacements take over 6 weeks and about 3 months to soothe the swelling and pain
oriented with the joints. The patient’s body is however known to be in the recovery
process for 2 years with an evident difference. Post the initial rest period of 6 weeks
there is no strain or major discomfort experienced. The medications offered by the
practitioner also aid in picking up pace with the healing process.
The hip replacement surgery is undertaken within 1.5 hours and the knee replacement
surgery takes 2 hours.
