Post-Total knee replacement, how to work on gait, is it alignment issue?
Knee pain does not occur after one day. Some people learn the wrong gait and feel like the wrong gait is normal. After surgery, they must learn the correct ways. Therapists will come in to teach them to walk properly and re-strengthen the muscle. When I see these patients walk in my clinic normally, I will sometimes not know they have done a TKR. The whole purpose of knee replacement is to restore the mechanics of walking and quality of life.
What will happen after 15-20 years post-knee replacement?
This is a conservative estimation, after 15-20 years or even up to 30 years, it can be working perfectly. Some might have no pain or no symptoms and are absolutely healthy. If unfortunately the knee replacement reaches the end of its lifespan, you can change it. Americans are more advanced, they do a lot more than us in learning how to tackle these problems, thus I learn all their special techniques to do revision surgery. If after 15-20 years you reach the end of the expected lifespan, you can still change it.
