Knee replacement — quick answers
Over 90% of patients regain pain-free movement.
What is it?
A surgery that replaces damaged knee joint surfaces with an implant to reduce pain and restore movement.
Who needs it?
Patients with severe knee arthritis whose pain and stiffness no longer improve with medicines or physiotherapy.
Recovery time
Most patients walk within 24–48 hours. Major recovery in 6–12 weeks, with improvement for up to a year.
Cost
Approx. ₹1.5–3 lakh per knee, depending on implant and technique. A clear, itemised package is shared before surgery.
What is total knee replacement?
Modern implants are designed to last 15 to 25 years.
Total knee replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the worn-out surfaces of the knee joint are replaced with artificial implants. It is one of the most commonly performed and successful joint surgeries worldwide, restoring pain-free movement for the great majority of patients with advanced joint damage.
In advanced osteoarthritis, knee pain is not only inflammation — it is mechanical damage: loss of cartilage, joint deformity and bone-on-bone friction. Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and post-traumatic arthritis can cause similar joint destruction.
The procedure corrects these mechanical problems by resurfacing the damaged bone with prosthetic components made of metal and medical-grade plastic. The goal is not only knee pain relief — it is stable walking, better alignment, and long-term function that can last 15 to 25 years.
Is surgery
right for you?
You may be a candidate if
- Knee pain limits daily activities like walking or climbing stairs
- Pain disturbs your sleep regularly
- Stiffness makes sitting or standing difficult
- X-rays show advanced arthritis with bone-on-bone contact
- Medicines, physiotherapy and injections no longer give lasting relief
You may not need surgery yet if
- Pain is occasional and manageable
- Joint damage is mild on imaging
- You still have good walking capacity
- Symptoms improve with non-surgical treatment
A proper clinical evaluation is essential before deciding — and Dr. Saurav will tell you honestly if surgery isn’t needed yet. Age alone is rarely a barrier: many patients in their 70s and 80s return to an active, independent life, because overall fitness matters more than age.
Types of knee replacement surgery
Total Knee Replacement
The entire joint surface is replaced with prosthetic implants — for arthritis affecting most of the knee. Can be done using minimally invasive techniques.
Partial Knee Replacement
Only one compartment is replaced. Suitable for selected patients with localised damage — preserves healthy bone and ligaments.
Bilateral Knee Replacement
Both knees replaced under one anaesthesia (or in stages) — one hospital stay and one recovery instead of two, ideal for fit patients with arthritis in both knees.
Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement
In selected cases, robotic guidance sharpens implant alignment and bone-cut accuracy. Not every patient needs it — Dr. Saurav advises when it genuinely helps.
Revision Knee Replacement
A second surgery to replace a worn-out or failed implant. More complex than primary surgery and requires specialised expertise.
Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement
Performed through a smaller incision with less tissue disruption — less scarring, reduced pain and a shorter hospital stay.
How the procedure
works, step by step
Pre-surgery evaluation — X-rays, blood tests and medical fitness assessment.
Admission and anaesthesia — general or spinal block, based on your condition.
Surgical procedure — damaged bone and cartilage removed, prosthetic implant placed.
Early mobilization — walking with walker support within 24 to 48 hours.
Physiotherapy — begins for knee bending and strengthening.
Discharge planning — most patients go home within 3 to 5 days.
Home rehabilitation — structured recovery and follow-up physiotherapy.
Every stage is planned to minimise pain, speed recovery and reduce complications like infection or blood clots.
Recovery after your surgery
Pain control. Wound care. Basic walking. Knee-bending exercises.
Improved mobility. Reduced swelling. Increased walking distance.
Strength recovery. Stair climbing. Better balance.
Major functional improvement in daily activities.
Continued strength and endurance gains.
Recovery speed depends on physiotherapy after knee replacement and overall health. Consistent rehabilitation is the key to a successful outcome.
Risks and complications
Total knee replacement is one of the safest and most successful orthopedic surgeries — over 90% of patients experience significant pain relief. Like any major surgery, there are potential risks, all actively minimised:
Infection at the surgical site — minimised with sterile protocols and prophylactic antibiotics.
Blood clots (DVT) — prevented with blood thinners and early mobilization.
Temporary knee stiffness — addressed with structured physiotherapy.
Nerve or blood vessel injury — extremely rare with an experienced surgeon.
Implant loosening over time — modern implants are designed to last 15 to 25 years.
Dr. Ankur Saurav follows international safety protocols, and every patient receives a personalised risk assessment before surgery.
Preparing for your surgery
Careful preparation and strict safety protocols give the best, safest result.
Before your surgery
Before the operation, Dr. Saurav’s team runs a full pre-surgical work-up — X-rays, blood tests and a fitness and anaesthesia assessment — to confirm the diagnosis and make sure you are ready. Long-term conditions such as diabetes, blood pressure or heart disease are optimised first, and you are told clearly which medicines (such as blood thinners) to pause and when to stop eating before admission.
On the day, the procedure, your expected hospital stay and the recovery plan are explained again so you and your family know exactly what to expect — with a transparent, itemised cost estimate shared in advance and no hidden charges.
How your safety is protected
Your surgery is performed in a dedicated, sterile operating theatre with an experienced anaesthesia team and strict infection-control protocols. The knee is aligned precisely and balanced during surgery for a stable, natural feel. Blood-clot (DVT) prevention, careful tissue handling and quality imported implants further reduce risk and protect your result.
Dr. Saurav personally reviews your recovery, and the Medifirst Hospital team stays reachable for any concern after you go home. Serious complications are uncommon — and the honest, careful selection of who truly needs surgery is itself one of the most important safety steps of all.
