Hips and knees are crucial joints of the human body, the amount of work and the type of functions performed by these joints is intricately build into our natural musculoskeletal system to provide us with a wide range of flexibility and movements. Every now and then, injuries and damages push us to seek medical help, medications, injections, and physical therapies are effective for problems of minor nature but not all injuries are of the same extent and impact. In some cases, the damage is so complex and serious that the only option left is to perform replacement of the damaged joint. One has to know that unlike other medical treatment, surgical intervention for replacing damaged joints particularly knees and hips does not ensure that the patient is normal after the operation. Instead, the patient has to religiously follow the recovery program, this plays a significant role in ensuring that the healing is quick and the essential requirements for healthy recovery are being done on a regular basis.

There are various factors which determine whether the recovery will be quick, one has to acknowledge the fact, healing is not the same in every case of joint replacement surgery, it differs from case to case The underlying reasons for variance in the time period of recovery after knee and hip replacement surgery can be the type of surgery, the extent and impact of the damage, the age of the patient, the gender of the patient, the other health condition the patient is suffering from (if), the type of technology available at hand, and the overall health condition of the patient.

For instance, knee replacement surgery can either be total or partial in nature. The orthopaedic surgeons have always focused on comparing the recovery process of these two joint replacement surgery. If we compare them, it is clear that a patient who underwent a hip replacement surgery, he or she showcases signs of early recovery whereas cases of knee replacement surgery take a considerably longer period of time for rehabilitation. The complex nature of knee joint is the obvious factor which makes both the surgery and its rehabilitation, a complicated and time taking affair. Let's see how recovery from knee and hip replacement surgery is sought. Medications and drugs All joint replacement surgeries are performed while the patient is under the influence of anaesthesia, it is done to make the patient comfortable for the operation. Once the effect of anaesthesia fades, the patient starts to experience pain. The intensity of pain is different as per the type of joint replacement surgery performed and the overall well-being of the patient. In the initial stages after the operation, painkillers are provided to the patient, through intravenous administration. NSAIDs and over-the-counter painkillers are prescribed for temporary relief. If the patient is experiencing unbearable pain, it is advised to consult the doctors. Physical therapy Physical therapy is an important part of the rehabilitation programme to reclaim the range of flexibility. Patients who underwent hip replacement surgery, their movement is possible through the use of walking aids but individuals who were treated with knee replacement surgery, they take longer times to move on their own. The patients should take proper care while performing any type of physical therapy, components which demand expert supervision, they should be followed likewise only. It should be ensured that the patient is not applying any unnecessary pressure on the operated region, it is a risky move both in terms of the operated region and the health of the patient. End
