Knee replacement surgery is recommended when non-surgical treatments fail to provide relief. Common reasons include:
- Severe osteoarthritis causing chronic pain
- Rheumatoid arthritis destroying joint cartilage
- Post-traumatic joint damage
- Progressive joint degeneration limiting mobility
Patients experiencing persistent pain, limited walking ability, or reduced function often benefit most from knee replacement. Early evaluation and planning lead to better outcomes and faster recovery.
At Varunam Super Speciality Hospital, various knee replacement options are offered to match individual needs and joint conditions. These include:
- Partial knee replacement for targeted damage
- Total knee replacement for widespread arthritis
- Revision knee replacement when previous implants need adjustment
Dr. Utsav Agrawal evaluates each patient’s condition with detailed assessment and imaging to recommend the most suitable option. This personalised approach ensures optimal outcomes and long-term joint performance.
- Smaller incisions and reduced tissue damage
- Less post-operative pain and faster recovery
- Shorter hospital stay and early mobilisation
- Lower risk of complications and infection
Minimally invasive knee replacement techniques allow patients to return to daily routines quicker while maintaining high functional outcomes and joint stability.
