Below are the types of knee replacement surgeries offered by top knee replacement hospital in Sabarmati, New CG Road, Ahmedabad, India:

The knee joint plays a pivotal role for humans. But due to sudden injury or any type of arthritis found in middle-aged or elderly adults, the knee joint breaks down, causing severe pain and immobility of your leg. Your knee may stop functioning and require a total makeover in the form of knee replacement surgery.

The most common reason for knee replacement surgery is Osteoarthritis. It is a degenerative change that happens when humans grow old. Cartilage tissues in the knee joint that help reduce friction while moving, start to wear down with age. This increases the friction to move and causes acute pain at the knee junction. This severe pain may limit your daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or even bending your knee slightly.

Other forms of arthritis that may lead to the degeneration of knee joints are Rheumatoid arthritis, Gouty arthritis, Septic arthritis, and arthritis due to knee injury. Knee fractures, torn cartilage, or torn ligament tissues that support and limit joint movement may damage the joint, patient immediate knee replacement surgery.

How Long Does It Take to Recover from the Knee Surgery?

After a successful operation, a patient may start walking with assistive devices on the same day. The patient has to stay at the hospital typically from 2 days to a week depending on the knee condition. Normal patients may recover around 6-8 weeks. Patients with severe knee conditions or revision knee replacement surgery may need longer.

However, in some cases, the recovery may take approx. 4-6 months or even 1 year to realize the benefits of knee replacement surgery. But most patients can start walking and engage in the house chores within 3-6 weeks.
