FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

In simple terms, I remove the damaged portion of your knee joint and replace it with smooth, artificial components to help you move without pain.

If you're avoiding stairs, skipping walks, or struggling with daily chores due to knee pain—even after medication and physiotherapy—it’s time we discuss surgical options.

No. Some need a total replacement, others only a partial. I tailor the surgery to your specific joint condition, age, and activity level.

Most of my patients stay just 2 to 3 days. With good physiotherapy and support, you’ll be up and walking very soon.

Yes! Surgery fixes the joint, but physio brings back your strength, mobility, and confidence. It’s the second half of your recovery journey.

Not exactly—but most patients say it feels "normal" within a few months and far better than living with chronic pain.

Waiting too long can weaken muscles and reduce your post-surgery results. It’s best to act before the damage becomes severe.

You’ll be under anesthesia during surgery and we manage pain very effectively afterward. You won’t suffer—I’ll make sure of that.

Usually within 24 hours. With support and physiotherapy, you'll be surprised how quickly you regain your independence.

Not at all. Most patients use a walker or cane only for a few weeks until they feel steady on their feet.

Modern implants can last 15–20 years or more, especially if you take good care of your joint and avoid high-impact activities.

In some cases, yes—but it depends on your implant type and flexibility. We’ll set realistic goals together.

Robotic technology improves accuracy, but the key is choosing the right technique for your condition—not every case needs robot assistance

Yes, but we’ll work closely to keep your sugar levels controlled before and after the procedure to ensure smooth healing.

Both are possible. For healthier patients, simultaneous surgery can be efficient. We’ll decide what’s safest for you.

No, because the damaged surfaces are replaced. However, arthritis may affect other joints over time.

Yes! Most people return to driving after 4–6 weeks, once their reflexes and leg strength are back to normal.

There’s no fixed upper age. If you're fit for anesthesia and surgery, you're eligible. I’ve operated on patients well into their 80s.

A high-protein, low-sugar, calcium-rich diet helps in faster recovery. Good nutrition plays a big role in healing.

Short trips are fine after a few weeks. For longer journeys or flights, wait around 6–8 weeks and always move around to avoid clots.

Yes, but it’s minimal. We usually don’t need a transfusion. Blood-saving techniques are used routinely in my surgeries.

Clear walkways, add grab bars in bathrooms, and keep essentials within easy reach. I’ll give you a home-safety checklist.

Yes, most office-based work can resume in 4–6 weeks. Physically demanding jobs might take a little longer.

Many insurance plans do, fully or partially. My team will guide you with paperwork and pre-approvals.

I often use absorbable stitches or staples depending on the case. The wound is neat and healing is closely monitored.

Definitely! Gentle yoga, stretching, swimming, and cycling are all great post-surgery options.

Avoid running, jumping, and contact sports. They can strain the joint. Low-impact activities are best for long-term implant life.

Pain years later isn’t normal. It may be due to implant wear, infection, or unrelated causes. Visit me promptly for evaluation.

I combine advanced surgical methods with a strong focus on personal care and rehabilitation. My goal is not just to fix your knee, but to help you get your life back—pain-free and confident.
