Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs a total knee replacement?
Total knee replacement is recommended for patients with severe knee pain, stiffness, or deformity caused by arthritis, injury, or joint degeneration when medicines, physiotherapy, or injections no longer provide relief.
What is the right age for knee replacement surgery?
There is no fixed age. Knee replacement is advised based on pain severity, loss of function, and quality of life—not age alone. Many patients undergo surgery between 50–75 years, but younger or older patients may also benefit.
How long does a total knee replacement surgery take?
The surgery usually takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the condition and whether robotic assistance is used.
Is knee replacement surgery painful?
Pain is well controlled with modern anesthesia, advanced surgical techniques, and post-operative pain management protocols. Most patients experience significant pain relief within weeks after surgery.
How long is the hospital stay after knee replacement?
Most patients stay in the hospital for 1 to 3 days, depending on recovery speed, mobility, and overall health.
How long does it take to walk after surgery?
Patients are encouraged to stand and walk with support within 24 hours after surgery. Most can walk independently with a walker or stick within a few weeks.
How long does a knee replacement implant last?
Modern knee implants are highly durable and typically last 15–25 years, especially with proper care, regular follow-ups, and a healthy lifestyle.
What activities can I do after knee replacement?
After recovery, patients can comfortably perform daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, cycling, swimming, and light exercise. High-impact sports like running or jumping should be avoided.
Is robotic knee replacement better than traditional surgery?
Robotic-assisted knee replacement offers higher precision, better alignment, less tissue damage, faster recovery, and improved long-term outcomes compared to conventional methods.
What is the recovery time after total knee replacement?
Most patients resume normal daily activities within 4–6 weeks, while full recovery and strength improvement may take 3–6 months with regular physiotherapy.
Is robotic joint replacement better for everyone?
Not necessarily. While many patients benefit, it is often considered particularly advantageous for cases with complex anatomy, significant deformity, or for revision (redo) surgeries. Your surgeon will determine if you are an ideal candidate.
