As a surgeon my aim is to replicate the function and feel of a natural knee when performing joint replacement surgery.
Researchers measure outcomes following surgery and place a “forgotten knee score” to measure satisfaction.
6 months after replacement surgery the score is 59, 12 months after replacement surgery the score is 72, and 24 months after replacement surgery the score is 76.
The answer to the question “How Long Until My Knee Replacment Feels Normal” is 1-2 years for your artificial knee to feel the best it can be.
