Answer
Yes, it can. Many knee replacements at SCI Hospital are performed using regional anesthesia, such as a spinal or epidural block. This numbs the lower half of your body, so you feel no pain during the surgery, but you can remain awake without being put completely to sleep. Our anesthesiologist will discuss all options with you to determine what is safest and most comfortable.
