Surgery Details

Knee surgery in Bangalore is typically recommended for patients experiencing persistent pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or injury, where medication and physiotherapy have not provided lasting relief. Depending on the severity and pattern of joint damage, your surgeon may recommend one of the following approaches.

Total Knee Replacement

The damaged surfaces of the knee joint are resurfaced and replaced with a prosthetic implant, restoring smooth, pain-free movement. This is the most commonly performed procedure for advanced knee arthritis.

Partial Knee Replacement

Suitable for patients with damage confined to a single compartment of the knee, this approach preserves healthy bone and tissue and generally allows for a faster recovery than total replacement.

Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement

Using robotic guidance, the surgeon achieves highly precise implant positioning and alignment, which can contribute to a more natural range of motion and a potentially faster recovery.

Surgery is performed under spinal or general anaesthesia and typically takes between one and two hours per knee. Most patients are able to stand and begin gentle movement with physiotherapy support within a day of surgery.
