About total knee replacement surgery or double knee replacement:

During total knee replacement surgery or double knee replacement surgery, one or both knee joints are replaced with an artificial joint, and this artificial joint (or joints) is generally made of polyethylene (plastic) and/or metal components. The knee is actually one of the most important joints in the body, since it helps support body weight and is a key piece of movement mechanics.

Regardless of your age, the knee joint can actually be damaged from sudden or chronic trauma, stress on the knee, tumors, and/or arthritis, and these conditions can adversely affect a person’s quality of life and lifestyle. A damaged, painful knee can limit movement as well as body weight support which can lead to undue stress and damage to other parts of the body.

If you have pain that is limiting your mobility, quality of life, and lifetyle, then you might be a prime candidate for total knee replacement surgery.

Total knee replacement surgery will actually take about 1.5 to 2 hours, on average. However, the time that the surgeon actually takes can vary depending on the damage to the joint and other unforeseen factors. You should also expect a hospital stay of 2 days following total knee replacement surgery (on average), but this will depend on your particular condition.
