Recognizing the Symptoms of Knee Issues
Knee pain is often the first sign of underlying conditions like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Common symptoms include:
- Pain or discomfort during movement or climbing stairs.
- Swelling or stiffness in the knee joint.
- Pain worsening after physical activity or prolonged inactivity.
- Limited range of motion or difficulty performing daily tasks.
Every patient’s journey is unique, and AMZA Health tailors care to your specific needs for the best possible outcome.
Knee Replacement Surgery Overview
Knee replacement (knee arthroplasty) is a procedure that replaces damaged joint surfaces with metal and plastic components to restore function and relieve pain. Our surgeons specialize in two types of knee replacement procedures:
- Total Knee Replacement: Complete replacement of the knee joint, ideal for severe joint damage.
Partial Knee Replacement: Replacement of only the damaged portion, best for localized joint wear.
Typical Itinerary for Knee Replacement Surgery
At AMZA Health, we provide a seamless, stress-free experience:
- Day 1: Arrival in Mexico – Pre-op consultations and tests – Overnight stay at Core Suites within the hospital.
- Day 2: Surgery day – Overnight stay in the hospital at Core.
- Day 3: Rest and recover – Overnight stay in the hospital. (You can leave after this day, but our team recommends staying longer for optimal recovery.)
- Day 4: Discharge and move to Core Suites Recovery Home – Overnight stay at Core Suites.
- Day 5-6: Rest and follow-up consultation with your surgeon – Overnight stay at Core Suites.
- Day 7: Return home.
Recommendation: While a three-day stay is sufficient, we strongly suggest staying for seven days to ensure smooth recovery and an in-person post-op consultation for optimal results.
The Knee Replacement Procedure
Our surgeons use a meticulous four-step process for knee replacement:
- Bone Preparation: Removal of damaged cartilage and underlying bone.
- Implant Placement: Metal components are fitted to recreate joint surfaces, secured with cement or a press-fit.
- Patella Resurfacing: Resurfacing the kneecap with a plastic component, if necessary.
- Spacer Insertion: A durable plastic spacer is placed between components to allow smooth, natural movement.
Recovery and Support
Immediate Recovery: After surgery, you’ll spend the first night in the hospital under close medical supervision.
Core Suites Recovery Home: Once discharged, you’ll transition to Core Suites on the 5th floor of the hospital. With 24/7 medical support, you’ll begin walking with crutches as early as the first day post-surgery, promoting mobility and faster healing in a safe, comfortable environment.
Typical Recovery Timeline: Most patients stay at Core Suites for about four days and return to everyday activities within 4-8 weeks, depending on their physiotherapy progress.
Post-Operative Assessment: A free post-op consultation is included, either in-person or via Zoom. We recommend the in-person option to maximize recovery benefits.
Ongoing Support: Our dedicated patient advocates provide follow-up care for up to six months through phone, email, and video calls to ensure your recovery stays on track.
