How do I know when it\u2019s time for a knee replacement? It\u2019s a great question. If you\u2019re thinking about having knee replacement surgery, you want to make sure the time is right. <\/span><\/p>\n

At <\/span>Carolina Orthopaedic and Neurosurgical Associates (CONA), our Board Certified and Fellowship Trained Joint Replacement Specialists<\/span> have extensive experience and use the latest technology to perform knee replacement procedures. While there\u2019s no exact timeline that indicates when you should have surgery, there are a few things that can certainly help your decision process. <\/span><\/p>\n

First, it\u2019s important to understand basic knee anatomy and osteoarthritis. <\/span><\/p>\n

Knee Anatomy<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

The tibia (shin bone), femur (leg bone) and patella articulate to form the hinged knee joint. Cartilage covers the articulating ends the bones so they move smoothly without bone-on-bone rubbing. Lower body stabilization, support, and movement are the key knee functions. Without a functional knee, patients may have a hard time walking, running or even bearing weight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Osteoarthritis and When It\u2019s Time for a Total Knee Replacement <\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Osteoarthritis causes joint inflammation and cartilage and bone deterioration. Because the knee is a large weight-bearing joint, knee osteoarthritis is common. Aging, accidents, and injuries are knee osteoarthritis causes. Symptoms include:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • <\/span>Decreased range of motion<\/span><\/li>\n
  • <\/span>Difficulty weight bearing <\/span><\/li>\n
  • <\/span>Pain<\/span><\/li>\n
  • <\/span>Stiffness<\/span><\/li>\n
  • <\/span>Swelling<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Symptoms usually present mildly and increase in severity if osteoarthritis isn\u2019t treated, which is why an early diagnosis is important. Patients are encouraged to make an appointment with a <\/span>Carolina Orthopaedic and Neurosurgical Associates (CONA) Joint Replacement Specialist<\/span> when symptoms won\u2019t go away on their own or don\u2019t respond to rest, activity modification, ice, and over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications. <\/span><\/p>\n

    After an official diagnosis is made, a customized treatment plan is prescribed. It may include:<\/span><\/p>\n

    Assistive devices
    <\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • <\/span>Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs)<\/span><\/li>\n
    • <\/span>Physical therapy<\/span><\/li>\n
    • <\/span>Injections<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      These treatment options effectively treat the majority of knee osteoarthritis cases. <\/span><\/p>\n

      When treatment options are not effective and symptoms limit a patient\u2019s ability to perform normal day-to-day activities, it may be time for a knee replacement.<\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n

      Most patients who have total knee replacement surgery have bone-on-bone rubbing that is easily seen on x-rays. The CONA specialist will explain the surgery and recovery, so you know exactly what to expect. Total knee replacement is one of the most popular and effective orthopedic surgeries because it dramatically improves pain and other symptoms and helps patients live normal lives with minimal restrictions.<\/span><\/p>\n

      I am happy with this practice all my questions are answered within 24 hours. Dr. Hoenig is great, his bedside manner is wonderful, he is very thorough, and makes personal calls after surgery to check on patients. I would definitely recommend to family and friends!<\/p>\n

      This has been one of my most positive experiences at a Dr’s office. I was treated with respect and love. They made my surgical procedure less stressful and very positive.<\/span><\/p>\n

      These are the best group of doctors that myself & my family have ever been treated by in this field of medicine. They listen to how you feel instead of telling you how you feel. Thank you all for your caring & kindness.<\/span><\/p>\n
