The risk of major complications with knee replacement is low. There is a small risk of blood clot, infection, and anesthesia complication. Occasionally, patients have some continued discomfort in the knee after surgery. Speak to your surgeon about concerns.
Age is not a major consideration in a total knee replacement. The severity of the patient’s pain and restriction in activities is the primary consideration.
When to see a doctor:
Do use “RICE.” Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) is good for knee pain caused by a minor injury or an arthritis flare. Give your knee some rest, apply ice to reduce swelling, wear a compression bandage, and keep your knee elevated.
