Arthroscopic knee replacement procedure takes about 1 to 3 hours and can be performed under either general or spinal anesthesia. During the surgery, the surgeon places a cut on the front of the knee to expose the kneecap. Then, they remove the damaged parts of the joint and position the knee prosthetic. Usually, a special bone, ‘cement’ and a plastic spacer, is placed between the knee implant and the bones that act as a cartilage and reduce friction during the joint movement. Then the wound is closed, using sutures or clips, and dressed. Since the surgery is minimally invasive, there is very little bleeding, and the procedure usually does not need any blood transfusions.

During Total Knee Replacement procedure, the orthopedic surgeon replaces the damaged joint completely with an artificial or prosthetic joint. This is often recommended when the bones are severely damaged because of any injury or bone degenerative diseases.
In partial knee replacement cases, only part of the knee joint is degenerated. Therefore, the surgeon recommends knee replacement for the affected side, which is known as partial knee replacement.
People affected with severe arthritis may be advised knee replacement two to three times to restore complete knee function. In revision knee replacement, the surgeon uses a modified implant in order to provide more stability to the affected knee joint.

Ms. Akshi Chauhan(changed name) approached Pristyn Care and got connected with one of our medical coordinators. She complained about excruciating pain and swelling in the left knee, because of which she was facing issues in walking and moving her leg.
Our medical coordinator booked her appointment with our expert orthopedic doctor, Dr. Abhishek Bansal. He scheduled a physical examination to assess the severity of the condition. He informed the doctor that she had a sports injury and started experiencing pain after the incident. The doctor recommended a few diagnostic tests, including X-ray, MRI, and other imaging tests, to get a clear picture of the knee joint and bone.
After getting the diagnostic tests results, Dr. Bansal informed the patient about knee bone deformity and advised partial knee replacement surgery. She stayed in the hospital for 3 days and got discharged when there were no odd signs post-surgery. Dr. Bansal a few guidelines for smooth recovery duration and scheduled 3 follow-up consultations.
Ms. Chauhan underwent physiotherapy for 5 weeks and recovered successfully. The surgery helped her in restoring the stability and mobility of the knee joint. She is now playing sports without any difficulty.
You may need knee replacement surgery after a serious knee injury or other painful conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc., that may limit your ability to perform everyday tasks, such as walking, climbing stairs, etc.
Generally, after a successful knee replacement, the patient would not experience any knee-related issues for at least the next 10-15 years.
Typically, the choice for a knee implant depends on various factors such as the patient’s age, type of surgery, health condition, the severity of knee degeneration, budget, etc. Therefore, the implant is chosen by the doctor and patient together, following careful consideration.
You will be able to get out of bed and start walking the same day after the surgery, and will typically be discharged from the hospital 2 to 3 days after the surgery. Rehabilitation will begin immediately after the surgery with a supervised and personalized exercise program monitored by an orthopedic surgeon. You will not have pain and will be given medications to manage pain, prevent complications, and boost recovery.
Most patients are discharged from the hospital 3 – 5 days after minimally invasive knee replacement surgery.
After knee replacement, initial pain, inflammation, and swelling typically resolve within 2 to 4 weeks. The pain is not severe and can be easily managed with painkillers and anti-inflammatories.
Spinal or general anesthesia is typically used to make the area numb for Knee replacement surgery.
Minimally invasive knee replacement surgery can be carried out in adult patients of all ages. Even patients who are above the age of 50 years who are medically fit and are in good health can undergo knee replacement surgery if their lifestyle and activities are restricted by painful conditions like arthritis of knee joints.
