  • During the surgery, a surgeon removes damaged cartilage and some bone from the surfaces of your knee joint. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Knee replacement surgery may replace all the damaged parts of your knee (total knee replacement) or just part of your knee (partial knee replacement). (medlineplus.gov)
  • Most people who follow their recovery instructions can get back to nearly all of their normal daily activities within 3 to 6 weeks after surgery. (medlineplus.gov)
  • The chance of having problems after knee replacement surgery is low. (medlineplus.gov)
