Knee Replacement

Yes. In order to have a knee replacement done you must first have a significant amount of damage to the knee joint. That is your preexisting condition. The knee replacement itself was done to replace the damaged joint and may or may not be considered a preexisting condition.

Water on the knee after knee replacement is a very common problem that many patient face.

It can be common or uncommon depending on severity of the swelling and time frame.

Immediately following surgery it would appear as if your knee joint is swollen that is because of the underlying tissue has been traumatized. In knee replacement surgery the surgeon has to reach the joint by cutting the muscles so once operation is done the muscles has to be reorganized and that is the cause for swelling.

As long as you are not having trouble or it is not causing any trouble to you swelling is normal thing.

Hope it helps.

"Bilateral" means both the knees are concerned.

"replacement" probably means a prothesis will be put instead of the bone and flesh knee.

That's a total hip joint replacement, and although the ball and socket were taken apart the leg was not disconnected from my body, if it had been there would be all sorts of problems with blood flow & nerves and I certainly have none of those. I recommend joint surgery wholeheartedly for those who have no other options for mobility or pain relief.

Typically they will have to re-operate, and replace the implant with either a slightly larger implant, or more cement.
