What does UKR mean in REHABILITATION

UNICODYLAR Knee Replacement (UKR) is a surgical treatment option for patients with knee problems. It involves removing damaged bones and cartilage from the knee joint and replacing them with specialized bone-like material to improve function.

People who experience pain or decreased mobility due to their current level of knee damage can be eligible candidates for UKR. A doctor will be able to evaluate your condition to determine if you would benefit from UKR.

The benefits of UKR include improved stability, reduced pain, and increased mobility in the short term as well as greater longevity in the long term compared to other treatments that are not as successful at restoring full functionality of the affected area.

Recovery time will vary based on individual factors such as age, overall health, and severity of damage but typically you can expect full recovery within three months after completion of surgery. During this period it is important to follow doctor's orders closely so as not to delay healing or cause further injury or complications.

The cost of UKR depends on several factors like insurance coverage and location but generally speaking it tends to be more expensive than other treatments options since it requires specialized materials and skills. An estimated range between 000-000 has been reported in some cases.
