Knee replacement is generally considered when chronic knee pain significantly affects your daily life and other treatments have not provided sufficient relief.
You may be a candidate if you experience:
- Severe pain that limits walking, climbing stairs, or everyday activities
- Knee pain that persists despite medications, physical therapy, injections, or bracing
- Advanced arthritis confirmed through imaging
- Stiffness that limits your range of motion
- Pain that interferes with sleep or quality of life
- Progressive loss of knee function
