Total Knee Replacement Surgery

Expert surgical and medical interventions delivered with compassionate, patient-first care to help you regain your health and quality of life.

Overview

Living with chronic, severe knee pain can completely change the way you live. Simple joys—like taking a walk in the park, climbing stairs, or even just standing up from a chair—can become agonizing challenges.

**Total Knee Replacement Surgery**, also known as total knee arthroplasty, is a life-changing procedure designed to give you your life back. During the surgery, our highly skilled orthopedic surgeons remove the damaged, arthritis-worn surfaces of your knee joint and replace them with high-quality, durable artificial implants.

At Prakash Hospital, we don't just treat the joint; we care for the person. Our goal is to relieve your pain, restore your natural mobility, and support you through every step of your physical rehabilitation so you can return to a pain-free, active life.

Why is it Done?

The most common reason our patients choose total knee replacement surgery is severe osteoarthritis. This condition wears away the smooth cartilage that cushions the knee, causing bones to rub directly against each other.

You and your doctor might consider a knee replacement if you experience:
  • Unbearable pain that keeps you awake at night.
  • Stiffness and swelling that makes it difficult to bend or straighten your knee.
  • Loss of independence, relying on a cane or walker to get around your home.
  • No relief from other treatments, such as physical therapy, steroid injections, or pain medications.

What to Expect

We know that the idea of surgery can be frightening. Our clinical team makes sure you are never in the dark.

Before the Surgery: You'll undergo a comprehensive health check, including blood tests and an ECG, to ensure you are perfectly healthy for surgery. Our anesthesiologist will discuss pain management options with you to ensure you are completely comfortable.

During the Procedure: The surgery typically takes about 1 to 2 hours. Your surgeon will carefully remove the damaged bone and cartilage and precisely align the new metal and plastic implants. We use advanced surgical techniques to minimize tissue damage, which speeds up your recovery.

After the Surgery: You will wake up in a comfortable recovery room. Surprisingly to many, our physical therapists will help you stand and take a few steps on the very same day or the day after your surgery! Early movement is critical for the best results.

Risks & Benefits

The Benefits:

The vast majority of our patients experience a dramatic, life-changing reduction in pain and a significant improvement in their ability to perform daily activities. Many describe it as feeling "years younger."

Understanding the Risks:

As with any major surgery, there are risks, though they are quite low when performed by an experienced team. Potential complications include infections, blood clots, or implant loosening over time. At Prakash Hospital, we adhere to strict international sterilization protocols and utilize blood thinners post-surgery to practically minimize these risks.

Recovery Profile

Recovery is a journey, and you won't walk it alone.

Most patients stay in the hospital for 3 to 5 days. For the first few weeks at home, you will need to use a walker or crutches. You will experience some pain and swelling, which is completely normal—our team will provide medications to keep you comfortable.

**Physical therapy** is your best friend during this time. Diligently following your customized exercise plan is the single most important factor in achieving a full, flexible recovery. Most patients can resume normal activities within 6 to 12 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will my new knee last?

With modern implant technology, over 90% of modern knee replacements are still functioning beautifully 15 to 20 years after surgery. Maintaining a healthy weight helps prolong the life of the implant.

Is the surgery very painful?

You will not feel any pain during the surgery due to anesthesia. Post-surgery, there will be discomfort as your body heals, but we provide a very effective, multi-layered pain management plan to keep your pain well-controlled.

When can I drive again?

Most patients can resume driving about 4 to 6 weeks after surgery, provided they are no longer taking narcotic pain medications and have regained sufficient muscle control in the leg.
