What is Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee replacement surgery (also called knee arthroplasty) is a highly successful procedure where damaged knee joint surfaces are replaced with artificial metal and plastic implants. It's one of the most effective treatments for severe arthritis pain and restoring mobility.
Types of Knee Replacement
Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
Replaces all three compartments of the knee. Most common procedure for severe arthritis affecting the entire joint.
Partial/Unicondylar Knee Replacement
Replaces only the damaged compartment. Faster recovery, preserves more natural bone. Ideal for single-compartment arthritis.
Revision Knee Replacement
For patients with worn-out or failed previous knee replacements. Complex procedure requiring specialized expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions
1How long do knee replacements last?
Modern knee implants typically last 15-20 years or more. With advances in materials and surgical techniques, many patients enjoy lifelong function from their replacement. At Apollo Hospitals, we use premium implants from leading global manufacturers for maximum durability.
2What is the recovery time for knee replacement?
Most patients walk with support within 24 hours of surgery. You can typically return home in 3-5 days. Full recovery takes 3-6 months, with significant improvement in the first 6 weeks. Our comprehensive physiotherapy program ensures optimal recovery.
3Is knee replacement surgery painful?
Advanced pain management protocols including nerve blocks and multimodal analgesia ensure minimal discomfort. Most patients report that post-surgery pain is actually less than their chronic arthritis pain. Our team provides round-the-clock pain management.
4What is the cost of knee replacement in Hyderabad?
The cost varies based on the type of implant and hospital stay. We offer various implant options to suit different budgets while maintaining quality. Please contact us for a detailed cost estimate after consultation.
5Can both knees be replaced at the same time?
Yes, bilateral (both knees) knee replacement can be done in a single surgery for suitable candidates. This reduces overall recovery time and hospital visits. Dr. Reddy will assess your fitness and recommend the best approach.
