Condition Overview & Anatomy
What is this Condition: Knee Osteoarthritis is a degenerative wear-and-tear condition where the protective cartilage cushioning the knee joint wears away, leading to bone-on-bone friction, deformity, stiffness, and severe pain.
Anatomy Involved: Distal femur, proximal tibia, and patellar joint surfaces.
When Surgery May Be Considered: Total Knee Replacement is recommended for Grade IV severe osteoarthritis when joint pain severely impairs walking, climbing stairs, or resting sleep, and conservative treatments no longer provide relief.
Conservative / Non-Surgical Alternatives: Grade I to III osteoarthritis is managed with physical therapy, quadriceps strengthening, weight management, oral analgesics, and intra-articular hyaluronic acid / PRP injections.
Common Symptoms & Clinical Signs
Patients presenting for evaluation at Yupiter Hospital frequently report the following symptoms:
When Should You Consult a Surgeon?
- Knee pain restricting walking distance to less than a few hundred meters
- Rest pain or night pain disturbing sleep
- Failure of physiotherapy and oral medications to maintain mobility

Typical Recovery & Healing Milestones
Individual recovery timelines vary based on patient age, baseline health, and procedure complexity:
Day 1-2
Assisted standing and walking with a walker under physiotherapist care.
Day 3-4
Stair climbing practice and discharge home.
Week 2-3
Transitioning to a single cane; comfortable independent walking.
Week 6-8
Resumption of social life, driving, and routine active lifestyle.
