After knee replacement surgery many patients experience a feeling of numbness on the outside portion of the knee. This is common and will not have any detrimental effect on the knee replacement. This occurs because of the location of the incision for surgery and the path of the nerves in the skin. Most patients notice this when they kneel down or when their cloths rub up against the knee. Frequently, as healing occurs, some or all of this loss of sensation will improve.
