However, out-of-pocket costs for knee replacement can also vary depending on factors such as the patient’s age, pre-existing health conditions, and the length of the recovery period after surgery.
Knee replacement surgery, or knee arthroplasty, is a procedure performed by orthopedic surgeons to replace damaged knee joints, often due to severe arthritis. The damaged parts of the knee are replaced with custom-made artificial components made of synthetic materials like metal, ceramic, or plastic.
After surgery, patients may experience temporary pain or restricted mobility, but physical therapy is strongly recommended to support a quicker recovery. Gentle physical activity also aids in the healing process post-surgery.
