Infection
Its no secret that all surgeries require
incisions through which they repair the problems.
Thus, there is always a chance of infection.
However, you can minimize the risk of infection
by taking good care of your wound. Make sure that
your wound is perfectly clean and dry.

Knee Stiffness
After having knee replacement surgery, little
stiffness and swelling are quite normal. However,
in some cases the patient experiences long-term
stiffness which is a problem. Physical therapy or
physiotherapy can help reduce knee stiffness
and improve your range of motion. In fact,
a physiotherapist can recommend you some
exercises that you can do at home to decrease
knee stiffness.

Implant Failure
This is a quite rare situation, but possible. The
reason is that knee implants are built to be
long-lasting. However, it can be possible that
the implant will fail. Usually, knee stiffness
and persistent pain are signs of implant failure.
