If you have chronic arthritis in your knee and other treatments haven’t helped, your doctor might recommend total knee replacement surgery or total knee arthroplasty. This procedure is typically recommended for patients with chronic pain due to worn-out cartilage in their knee, commonly known as bone-on-bone arthritis.

At Blackrock Orthopedics, we perform hundreds of knee replacements per year, using advanced technology to replace damaged joints. However, patients can walk the day of surgery, typically back to light duty work at about 6 weeks and back to full activities at 12 weeks. This can result in less long-term pain and increased mobility following the procedure. If you want to find out if you are a candidate for knee replacement surgery, contact Blackrock Orthopedics today to schedule a consultation. We are located in Meridian, near Boise .

What Knee Replacement Surgery Involves

Worn cartilage can cause damage to your knee bones and surrounding tissues. Knee replacement surgery involves replacing damaged cartilage and bones with plastic and metals. This can restore your knee’s function and reduce pain. While this can be a somewhat invasive procedure, we use advanced technology to pinpoint the damage, leading to improved patient outcomes.

What to Expect After Surgery

Your doctor will want to monitor your recovery closely after surgery. While everyone is different, you can expect your recovery to take about twelve weeks. This can include rehabilitation therapy as well as regular checkups from your doctor.

“From the moment I arrived, the customer service and care was great! I was greeted by a very friendly and professional front desk staff. I didn’t wait long to be called back where Dr. Winegar’s nursing staff were very friendly and courteous and quickly set me at ease (as this was a new physician for me). His x-ray technician was a marvel at making me comfortable during the entire process. I felt very welcomed by everyone from his front desk, check-in nurse and x-ray technician. Nothing but professional! I would give 10 stars if I could.” – Jason and Sara W.
