Three months after a total knee replacement is an important recovery milestone, with most patients experiencing improved mobility and greater independence. Many can resume daily activities and low impact exercises such as walking, swimming, or cycling. Mild pain, swelling, and stiffness may still occur as healing continues, but these are usually manageable. Ongoing physiotherapy remains essential to strengthen the knee and improve flexibility. Patients should contact their doctor if they notice signs of infection, instability, or sudden worsening pain. Full recovery may take six months to a year.

Knee replacement surgery is considered when chronic knee pain significantly affects daily life and conservative treatments no longer provide relief. Common indicators include persistent pain at rest, limited mobility, ongoing swelling, knee deformity, and reduced function despite medication, physiotherapy, or injections. The decision is based on symptom severity rather than age alone. A thorough orthopaedic evaluation, including imaging, helps determine suitability. Surgery is a collaborative decision aimed at restoring mobility, reducing pain, and improving overall quality of life.
