Understanding the procedure

Why choose Dr. Neelabh for Total Knee Replacement in Delhi

Patients considering Total Knee Replacement in Delhi typically do so when arthritis pain and stiffness limit daily life despite non‑surgical care.

After Total Knee Replacement in Delhi, most people resume low‑impact activities within weeks with guided physiotherapy.

Total Knee Replacement (also called knee arthroplasty) replaces worn joint surfaces with medical-grade components to restore smooth movement and reduce pain. The femur and tibia are carefully resurfaced and a durable polyethylene spacer cushions the joint. In some cases, the underside of the kneecap is also resurfaced.

TKR is usually advised for advanced arthritis—osteoarthritis, rheumatoid, or post‑traumatic—when pain, stiffness, and swelling limit life and non-surgical measures no longer help.

Note: Orthopaedic is the common spelling in India; “Orthopedic” is also used. You’ll see both terms on this page.

Eligibility

Who is a Good Candidate?

Daily pain and stiffness

Walking, stairs, or sleep are limited by knee symptoms.

Advanced arthritis on X‑ray

Bone‑on‑bone changes or significant deformity.

Limited relief from non‑surgical care

Medicines, injections, braces, and physiotherapy no longer help.

Ready for rehab

You’re committed to post‑op exercises and follow‑ups.

If arthritis affects only one compartment, a partial knee replacement may be an option.

Procedure steps

How Knee Replacement is Performed

  1. Anaesthesia & incision: Spinal/epidural or general anaesthesia. A front‑of‑knee incision is made.
  2. Resurfacing: Damaged cartilage and a thin layer of bone are precisely removed.
  3. Implants: Metal components (titanium or cobalt‑chromium) with a polyethylene spacer restore smooth motion.
  4. Alignment & balance: Ligament balance and component position are verified; computer/robotic assistance when appropriate.
  5. Closure & recovery: The incision is closed, and rehabilitation starts promptly.

Implant Options

A range of sizes and bearings tailored to your anatomy—cemented or cementless fixation depending on bone quality.

Robotic/Computer‑Assisted

Helpful for planning and alignment in select cases; not required for excellent outcomes.

Pain Management

Multimodal approach (nerve blocks, anti‑inflammatories, targeted meds) to reduce opioids and speed recovery.

What to expect

Recovery Timeline

  • Day 0–1: Stand and walk with assistance; start gentle range‑of‑motion.
  • Week 1–2: Home/outpatient physiotherapy; swelling control; many use a cane.
  • Week 3–6: Strength and motion improve; return to desk work/light activity.
  • Month 3–6: Enjoy major benefits; resume low‑impact sports.

Timelines vary by health, fitness, and adherence to therapy.

Your questions answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Is TKR right for me?
If knee pain limits everyday life despite non‑surgical care, and X‑rays show advanced arthritis, TKR may help. A consultation confirms the best option.
How long does a knee replacement last?
Many modern knee replacements function well 15–20+ years. Durability depends on activity level, body weight, implant design, and bone quality.
What is recovery like?
Most patients walk the day of or after surgery, begin physiotherapy within days, return to desk work in 2–4 weeks, and feel full benefits by 3–6 months.
Will I need physiotherapy?
Yes. PT is key to regaining motion and strength. Expect guided therapy for 6–12 weeks plus a home plan.
Is robotic knee replacement better?
Robotic or computer assistance can aid planning and alignment in select cases, but it isn’t required for excellent outcomes.
When can I drive?
Often 2–6 weeks—depends on which leg, your strength/reflexes, and being off narcotics. Confirm with your surgeon.
Is it covered by insurance?
Most insurers cover TKR when medically necessary. We’ll verify benefits and estimate out‑of‑pocket costs.
