FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Can knee arthritis be cured without surgery?
While knee arthritis cannot be completely reversed, many patients achieve significant pain relief and improved function through non-surgical treatments including physical therapy, weight loss, medications, and injections. Surgery is only considered when conservative treatments fail.
How long does a knee replacement last?
Modern knee replacements have excellent durability with 95% of implants lasting 15-20 years. With proper care and activity modification, many patients enjoy pain-free function for their lifetime.
What is the best exercise for knee arthritis?
Low-impact exercises are best: swimming, cycling, walking on flat surfaces, and specific strengthening exercises for quadriceps and hamstrings. High-impact activities like running and jumping should be avoided.
When should I consider knee replacement surgery?
Consider surgery when pain significantly affects your quality of life, sleep, and daily activities despite trying conservative treatments for 3-6 months. X-rays showing severe joint damage and failure of medications/injections are additional indicators.
