Knee Replacement Requirements

Everything you need to know — services, symptoms, treatment solutions and patient FAQs.

Surgical Care

Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

Complete replacement of the knee joint surfaces with metal and plastic components — best for extensive arthritis across the entire joint.

Targeted Care

Partial Knee Replacement (PKR)

Only the damaged compartment is replaced, preserving healthy tissue and often enabling faster recovery.

Revision Surgery

Revision Knee Replacement

Replacement or repair of a failing or infected implant — performed by experienced revision surgeons using specialized implants.

Robotic Precision

Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement

Robotic guidance improves the accuracy of bone cuts and implant positioning, helping alignment and potentially faster rehab.

Minimally Invasive

Minimally Invasive Approach

Smaller incision and careful tissue handling reduce early pain and promote quicker initial mobility.

Custom Fit

Patient-Specific / Custom Implants

Implants and cutting guides planned from CT/MRI to maximize fit and function for unusual anatomy.

Symptoms

Common Symptoms

  • Persistent knee pain limiting walking or activities
  • Stiffness and reduced range of motion
  • Swelling and chronic inflammation
  • Instability or frequent giving way
  • Grinding, locking or catching sensations

When to See a Doctor

If pain prevents daily tasks, sleep, or walking — or if physiotherapy, medicines, and injections don’t help — consult an orthopedic specialist for evaluation and imaging.

Solution

Non-Surgical Treatment

  • Physiotherapy & strengthening exercises
  • Weight reduction & activity modification
  • Anti-inflammatory medications
  • Intra-articular injections (steroid / viscosupplement)
  • Bracing or walking aids

Surgical Options

Surgery is considered when conservative treatments fail. Options include Partial/Total Knee Replacement, Revision surgery, or Robotic-assisted procedures depending on patient needs.

After Surgery

  • Early mobilisation (walk within 24–48 hours)
  • Physiotherapy & home exercises for weeks/months
  • Gradual return to daily activities over 6–12 weeks

Frequently Asked Questions

Modern knee implants commonly last 15–20 years or more depending on activity level and weight.
Most patients begin walking with support within 24–48 hours. Many return to daily activities in 6–12 weeks; full recovery may take longer.
Robotics can improve precision and implant alignment. Outcomes depend on surgeon experience and individual patient factors.
Yes for selected patients — requires careful assessment and planning; recovery may be longer compared to single-knee surgery.
