Knee Replacement in Karol Bagh | Dr. Neelabh at Jeewan Hospital
Chronic knee pain from arthritis or injury can be debilitating, limiting walking, stairs, and daily life. If conservative treatments have failed, advanced knee replacement surgery in Karol Bagh can be a transformative solution. At our orthopedic clinic inside Jeewan Hospital, Dr. Neelabh—a senior Orthopedic Surgeon in Karol Bagh with 35+ years’ experience—performs state‑of‑the‑art knee replacement procedures designed to restore mobility and relieve pain.
We’re committed to precision techniques—including robotic‑assisted planning—aimed at accurate implant positioning and alignment, long‑term durability, and a smoother recovery pathway for patients in Central Delhi.
When Should You Consider Knee Replacement?
Knee replacement is typically recommended when the joint is severely damaged (e.g., osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post‑traumatic) and daily function is limited despite non‑surgical care.
- Severe pain or stiffness limiting everyday tasks (walking, stairs, rising from a chair)
- Moderate‑to‑severe pain at rest, disturbing sleep
- Persistent swelling/inflammation that doesn’t improve with rest/medication
- Bowing in or out of the knee (deformity)
- Inadequate relief from injections, physiotherapy, braces, or anti‑inflammatories
Our Advanced Knee Replacement Procedures
Every knee is unique. We tailor your plan—robotic, total, or partial—based on anatomy, goals, and activity level.
Robotic‑Assisted Knee Replacement
With CT‑based 3D planning, the robotic system helps execute a personalized plan with precise implant positioning and alignment, which may improve joint balance, “feel,” and function. Learn more about robotic knee replacement.
Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
The gold‑standard 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 bone‑on‑bone contact and restore function.
Partial (Unicompartmental) Knee Replacement
If arthritis is confined to one compartment (medial, lateral, or patellofemoral), a partial replacement preserves healthy bone and ligaments elsewhere. Many patients experience a smaller incision, less pain, and quicker early recovery compared with TKR.
A Note on Implants from Dr. Neelabh
Success depends on 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.

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, persistent pain, or instability
- Nerve or vessel injury (rare)
- Implant‑related issues over time (loosening, wear)
- Medical risks (anesthesia, heart/lung events) depending on overall health
Recovery Timeline (Typical)
- Day 0–1: Walk with assistance; begin physio in 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.
- Week 6–12: Strength/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 by age, fitness, comorbidities, and whether surgery is total or partial; your plan is individualized. Read the overview: Knee Replacement Recovery Time and our Week‑by‑Week Recovery Guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
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. Timelines depend 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 approach (robotic vs. conventional), implant, room, and insurance. You’ll receive a transparent estimate after consultation. See: Knee Replacement Cost in Delhi.
How long does a knee implant last?
Large registries 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. Early post‑op discomfort typically improves steadily with rehabilitation.
