Before Partial Knee Replacement Surgery

Essential Steps to Prepare for a Successful Surgery & Recovery

Understanding the Importance of Preparation

Partial Knee Replacement is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve pain and improve mobility. Proper preparation before surgery ensures a smoother operation, a faster recovery, and optimal long-term results.

Step 1: Confirm Your Eligibility
  • Physical Examination – To assess knee stability and function.
  • Imaging Tests – X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to confirm damage is limited to one knee compartment.
  • Medical History Review – Evaluating previous treatments, underlying conditions, and medications.
Step 2: Pre-Surgery Health Optimization
  • Weight Management – Losing excess weight reduces stress on the knee.
  • Muscle Strengthening Exercises – Strengthening the quadriceps and hamstrings improves post-surgery mobility.
  • Quit Smoking & Limit Alcohol – Reduces complications and enhances healing.
  • Control Chronic Conditions – Manage diabetes, blood pressure, and any infections.
Step 3: Medication Adjustments
  • Blood thinners (aspirin, warfarin) – To prevent excessive bleeding.
  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) – Like ibuprofen, which may interfere with healing.
  • Supplements like Vitamin E & Herbal Products – Some may affect blood clotting.
Step 4: Follow Pre-Surgery Instructions
  • Fasting Guidelines – Avoid food or drink for 8-12 hours before surgery.
  • Take Prescribed Medications – If your doctor advises, take certain medications with a sip of water.
  • Wear Loose Clothing – Comfortable attire helps ease movement after surgery.
  • Arrange for Transportation – You won’t be able to drive post-surgery, so plan accordingly.
