Knee replacement surgery helps relieve long-term knee pain by replacing damaged joint surfaces with smooth artificial implants. This allows your knee to move more freely, making everyday activities like walking, sitting, and climbing stairs easier and more comfortable.
| Total Knee Replacement | Partial Knee Replacement |
|---|---|
| Replaces the entire knee joint | Replaces only the damaged portion |
| Best for widespread arthritis or severe damage | Best when damage is limited to one area |
| Slightly longer recovery, complete joint renewal | Faster recovery, preserves natural knee movement |
During surgery, the damaged cartilage and bone are carefully removed and replaced with high-quality implants designed to move naturally. The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours, whether it is right knee replacement surgery or left knee replacement surgery. After surgery most patients begin standing or walking within a day or two.
Modern knee replacement implants typically last 15–25 years, depending on lifestyle and care. Knee replacement gives your knee a fresh start and helps you return to a more active, pain-free life.
Choosing the best hospital for knee replacement makes all the difference in your recovery. Our dedicated knee replacement team combines experience, advanced technology, and compassionate care to help you get back on your feet faster and safer.
