Knee Surgery

Knee surgery involves various surgical interventions to relieve pain, restore function, and improve quality of life. It is often recommended when conservative treatments like medication and physiotherapy no longer provide relief.

Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

Total Knee Replacement is a common procedure where damaged knee joint surfaces are replaced with artificial implants. It’s ideal for patients with advanced arthritis or severe joint damage.

Benefits:

Pain relief
Improved mobility
Long-term results (often lasting 15-20 years)

Know More

Unicompartmental Knee Replacement (UKR)

Also known as Partial Knee Replacement, UKR is suitable for patients with damage limited to one part of the knee. It involves less bone removal and generally quicker recovery.

Benefits:

Less invasive
Preserves more natural bone and tissue
Faster rehabilitation

F.A.Q.

TKR replaces the whole knee joint; UKR replaces only the damaged part. UKR is less invasive with quicker recovery, if suitable.

Recovery varies. For TKR, most patients resume light activities in 6–8 weeks and full recovery may take up to 3–6 months. UKR usually has a quicker recovery of around 4–6 weeks.

Yes, physiotherapy is crucial for regaining strength, flexibility, and function in the knee. It typically starts within 24–48 hours after surgery.

Some discomfort is expected post-surgery, but modern pain management techniques ensure you're comfortable during recovery. Pain generally decreases steadily over the first few weeks.
