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.
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.
Benefits
- Significant pain relief and improved mobility
- Better alignment and stability
- Return to low‑impact activities: walking, cycling, swimming, golf
- High satisfaction; many implants last 15–20+ years
Risks & How We Reduce Them
- Infection, blood clots, stiffness, persistent pain, nerve/vessel injury
- Implant wear or loosening over time; occasional revision surgery
- Risk reduction: meticulous technique, DVT prevention, multimodal pain plan, and structured rehab
How Knee Replacement is Performed
- Anaesthesia & incision: Spinal/epidural or general anaesthesia. A front‑of‑knee incision is made.
- Resurfacing: Damaged cartilage and a thin layer of bone are precisely removed.
- Implants: Metal components (titanium or cobalt‑chromium) with a polyethylene spacer restore smooth motion.
- Alignment & balance: Ligament balance and component position are verified; computer/robotic assistance when appropriate.
- 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.
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.
