What Are These Procedures?
A total knee arthroplasty, also called a total knee replacement, is a minimally invasive, outpatient surgery. Surgeons remove worn-out or damaged surfaces of the knee joint and replace them with smooth, artificial components (implants) that work like a healthy knee. Most patients go home the same day, walking with support.
Who Is It For?
Total knee replacement is for adults, often over 50 but sometimes younger, who have severe knee pain and limited mobility from arthritis or injury. It’s ideal when other treatments like injections, medications, or physical therapy no longer bring relief. No matter your insurance type or payment method, bundled rates apply equally to in-state, out-of-state, or self-paying patients.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to recover from a total knee replacement?
Most patients walk within hours of surgery. You’ll need help for several days, may need a walker initially, and typically return to most normal activities (including driving) in 2–6 weeks.
What is the hardest part of knee replacement recovery?
Regaining knee flexibility and managing pain in the first two weeks are common challenges, but pain usually improves each day.
What are the biggest risks and complications?
Infection, blood clots, and implant stiffness or loosening are the main risks. Our center’s team will teach you how to lower these risks at home.
Is knee replacement surgery done as an outpatient at Surgery Center of Oklahoma?
Yes, most healthy patients can go home the same day. Some may need overnight observation if there are medical concerns.
How soon can I drive, return to work, or exercise after surgery?
You’ll get detailed return-to-activity guidance. Driving is often safe in 2–4 weeks, returning to work in about the same timeframe, depending on your job.
What’s included in the bundled price—and what’s not?
The bundle covers the surgical procedure, anesthesia, facility, surgeon, and standard follow-up. It does not cover: pre-op consults, advanced imaging, treatment of rare complications, implants, or overnight stays. See all current rates and what’s included at the published pricing portal.
Is physical therapy required after knee replacement?
Physical therapy is strongly recommended for the best results, helps restore your knee’s function faster, and starts soon after surgery.
How long do knee replacements last?
Modern implants often last 15–20 years or more before needing revision.
Who is not a candidate for outpatient knee replacement?
People with uncontrolled chronic illnesses, severe obesity, or bleeding risks may require inpatient care.
What’s the difference between total and partial knee replacement?
Total replacement treats the whole joint, while partial replacement is for damage in just one compartment of the knee. Your surgeon will recommend what fits your needs.
