If knee pain is affecting your everyday life and limiting your movement, you are not alone. With increasing age or arthritis, many people in Indore, Bhopal, Ujjain, Ratlam, Khandwa, Khargone, Jabalpur, and Guna face difficulty in walking, climbing stairs, or even standing for long. Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a highly successful surgical procedure that can help you regain pain-free mobility.
👨⚕️ Dr. Anupam Khandelwal, a renowned Joint Replacement and Orthopedic Surgeon in Indore, specializes in Total Knee Replacement surgeries with excellent outcomes for patients across Madhya Pradesh.
What is Total Knee Replacement?
Total Knee Replacement, also known as Total Knee Arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure where a damaged or worn-out knee joint is replaced with an artificial implant. This surgery is most commonly recommended for patients suffering from:
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Post-traumatic arthritis
- Knee deformities and joint degeneration due to aging
🦵 “घुटना बदलवाने के बाद जीवन फिर से सामान्य हो सकता है। दर्द से राहत मिलती है और चलना आसान हो जाता है।”
When is Total Knee Replacement Needed?
You may be a candidate for TKR if you:
- Experience severe knee pain while walking or climbing stairs
- Find it difficult to perform daily activities
- Have swelling, stiffness, or deformity in the knee
- Do not get relief from medication or physiotherapy
- Suffer from advanced arthritis visible in X-rays
Dr. Anupam Khandelwal evaluates each patient thoroughly, combining clinical examination, imaging, and lifestyle analysis before suggesting surgery.
How is the Surgery Performed?
Total Knee Replacement is a standardized and safe procedure. Under anesthesia, the damaged bone and cartilage from the thigh bone (femur), shin bone (tibia), and kneecap (patella) are removed. These surfaces are then replaced with biocompatible implants, allowing smooth movement.
At our center in Indore, we use:
- Minimally invasive techniques
- Advanced implant designs
- Computer-assisted navigation (if required)
- Rapid recovery protocols
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), over 90% of patients experience significant improvement in pain and function after TKR (AAOS, 2023).
Recovery After Knee Replacement
Most patients start walking within a day or two of surgery. With proper physiotherapy and guidance, full recovery takes 6–12 weeks, depending on your general health and commitment to exercises.
💡 Tips for Better Recovery:
- Start physiotherapy early
- Follow a balanced diet rich in calcium and protein
- Use walking aids if advised
- Regular follow-ups with your surgeon
