Expert Knee Replacement in Karol Bagh by Dr. Neelabh

Chronic knee pain from arthritis or injury can be debilitating, limiting your ability to walk, climb stairs, and enjoy life. If conservative treatments have failed, advanced knee replacement surgery in Karol Bagh can be a transformative solution. At our orthopedic clinic within Jeewan Hospital, Dr. Neelabh—an experienced joint replacement surgeon with over 25 years of practice—performs state‑of‑the‑art knee replacement procedures designed to restore mobility and relieve pain.

We’re committed to high‑precision techniques— including robotic‑arm assistance—aimed at highly accurate implant positioning and alignment, durability, and a faster, smoother recovery pathway for patients in Central Delhi.

When Should You Consider Knee Replacement?

Knee replacement is a major decision, but for the right candidate, it can be life‑changing. It’s typically recommended when the knee joint is severely damaged (e.g., osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis) and daily function is limited despite non‑surgical care.

• Severe knee pain or stiffness limiting everyday tasks (walking, stairs, rising from a chair)
• Moderate‑to‑severe pain even at rest, often disrupting sleep
• Persistent swelling/inflammation that doesn’t improve with rest, ice, or medication
• Bowing in or out of the knee (deformity)
• Inadequate relief from injections, physiotherapy, braces, or anti‑inflammatory medicines

Our Advanced Knee Replacement Procedures

Every knee is unique. We tailor your plan—robotic, total, or partial—based on your anatomy, goals, and activity level.

Robotic‑Arm Assisted Knee Replacement

As a leading center for robotic knee replacement in Karol Bagh, we use CT‑based 3D planning to create a personalized surgical plan. During surgery, the robotic arm helps execute that plan with highly precise implant positioning and alignment, which may improve joint balance, feel, and function.

Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

The gold‑standard option for advanced, tri‑compartmental arthritis. Damaged surfaces of the femur, tibia, and (when indicated) patella are replaced with metal and highly cross‑linked polyethylene components to eliminate painful bone‑on‑bone contact and restore function.

Partial (Unicompartmental) Knee Replacement

When arthritis is confined to one compartment (medial, lateral, or patellofemoral), a partial replacement preserves healthy bone and ligaments elsewhere. Benefits may include a smaller incision, less pain, and quicker early recovery compared with TKR.

A Note on Implants from Dr. Neelabh

Success depends on both surgical technique and implant quality. We use clinically proven implants from globally recognized manufacturers (e.g., Zimmer Biomet, DePuy Synthes, Stryker). Large registry studies report ~90–95% implant survival at 15 years and ~80–90% at 20 years; individual results vary with activity, weight, and overall health.

Why Choose Dr. Neelabh for Your Knee Replacement in Karol Bagh?

The Patient Journey: Your Path to a New Knee

1. Initial Consultation & Diagnosis: A thorough evaluation with in‑house X‑rays for a clear diagnosis and discussion of options.
2. Personalized Surgical Plan: Robotic vs. total vs. partial; for robotics, a CT scan creates your 3D plan.
3. The Procedure: Performed by Dr. Neelabh and team in a state‑of‑the‑art OT at Jeewan Hospital.
4. Post‑Op Care & Rehabilitation: Early mobilization and a structured physio plan to regain strength and motion safely.

Risks & Possible Complications

Complications are uncommon, but all surgery carries risk. We use evidence‑based protocols (antibiotics, blood thinners, early mobilization) to lower risk and teach you warning signs.

• Infection (superficial or deep)
• Blood clots (DVT/PE)
• Stiffness or persistent pain
• Nerve or vessel injury (rare)
• Implant‑related issues over time (loosening, wear, instability)
• Medical risks (anesthesia, heart/lung events) depending on overall health

Recovery Timeline (Typical)

• Day 0–1: Walk with assistance; begin physio in the hospital.
• Week 1–2: Pain/swelling improve; focus on range of motion and safe walking at home.
• Week 3–6: Transition to cane or no aid; resume light errands; drive when safe (off strong pain meds and with good control).
• Week 6–12: Strength and endurance build; many return to office‑based work.
• 3–6 months: Most daily activities feel natural; continue exercises for best long‑term outcomes.

Recovery varies with age, fitness, and whether surgery is total or partial. Your plan is individualized.

Frequently Asked Questions about Knee Replacement

What is the recovery time for robotic knee replacement?

Many patients walk with assistance on Day 1 and return to daily activities in 4–6 weeks. Your exact timeline depends on fitness, pain control, and adherence to physiotherapy. See our week‑by‑week recovery guide

What is the cost of knee replacement in Karol Bagh?

Costs vary by procedure (robotic vs. conventional), implant type, room category, and insurance. You’ll receive a transparent, detailed estimate after your consultation.

How long does a knee implant last?

Large registry studies show ~90–95% implant survival at 15 years and ~80–90% at 20 years. Longevity depends on surgical precision, activity level, weight, and overall health.

Is knee replacement surgery very painful?

We use multimodal pain protocols (nerve blocks, scheduled meds) to keep you comfortable. Temporary post‑op discomfort is typically far less limiting than pre‑op arthritis pain and improves steadily with physio.
