Can you kneel after a knee replacement?

Answer 1

It's a question of pain, if you can take the pain of the metal digging into you ligament then yes. sometimes, kneeling is impossible due to where the knee replacement is and you cannot bend you leg properly.

Answer 2

Ideally knee osteotomy is a surgical alternative of knee replacement surgery.

So many times patients are reluctant to undergo knee replacement surgery and they search for alternatives.

Knee osteotomy is a technique which was used to treat arthritic knee pain when there was less awareness about knee replacement or simply patient can not go for knee replacement.

But when knee osteotomy also does not give the satisfactory result patient then can go for knee replacement surgery.

Having said that it would be a complicated surgery compared to routine knee replacement surgery.

Hope it helps.
