Understanding Numbness After Total Knee Replacement Surgery

Patients might experience decreased sensation or tingling around the knee, especially near the incision area. Although most nerve function improves within six to twelve months, some numbness can persist permanently without affecting knee stability or function. This sensation change is usually a mild inconvenience rather than a serious complication. Proper rehabilitation, including gentle massage and physical therapy, can aid nerve healing and patient comfort. However, patients should monitor for signs of infection, increased numbness, pain, or motor weakness, seeking medical advice if these occur. Understanding this sensory change helps patients manage expectations and supports a smoother recovery process after knee replacement surgery.

Causes and Management of Pain Below the Knee Post-Knee Replacement

This pain can result from surgical inflammation, rehabilitation stress, or soft tissue healing.

This pain can result from surgical inflammation, rehabilitation stress, or soft tissue healing. While mild discomfort is common during recovery, persistent or severe pain may indicate complications like infection or implant issues. Effective rehabilitation focused on gradual quadriceps strengthening and inflammation control is essential. Patients should monitor symptoms and consult their healthcare provider if pain worsens, swelling occurs, or abnormal sensations develop. Early intervention and adherence to physiotherapy protocols support successful healing and knee function restoration.
