Total Knee and Shoulder Joint Replacement

Revere Health offers total knee & shoulder replacement, a surgical procedure designed to completely replace the damaged or arthritic knee or shoulder joint with a prosthetic implant. This surgery is typically recommended when pain, stiffness, or joint deterioration severely impact your mobility and quality of life.

 

Can you have both knees replaced at the same time?

Yes, it is possible to get both knees replaced at the same time through a procedure called bilateral knee replacement. This is a great option for those who suffer from severe arthritis on both knees and are in good overall health. While it may be convenient to get both done at the same time, patients do face a long and intensive rehabilitation process. Revere Health providers will work with you to decide if replacing both knees at the same time is right for you.

 

What to expect one year after total knee replacement surgery

One year after total knee replacement surgery, you can expect significantly reduced pain and improved mobility. By this point, you will have recovered from surgery and likely completed physical rehabilitation. Most patients are able to walk longer distances and perform daily activities with no pain. By one year, most patients can return to exercising. Your knee may possibly feel stiff or swell, but overall function should have returned.

 

What I wish I knew before knee replacement surgery

Most patients say they wish they knew the commitment to physical therapy and home exercises that is required after knee or shoulder replacement surgery. Revere Health physicians recommend preparing your home in advance to make sure rooms and items are accessible while you are recovering. Take the time to consider the expectations before you commit to total knee replacement.
