A step-by-step look at what happens during this procedure.
General or spinal anesthesia is administered to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure while monitoring vital signs continuously.
A precise incision is made over the knee joint to access the damaged bone and cartilage while protecting surrounding tissues and structures.
Damaged cartilage and bone surfaces from the femur, tibia, and patella are carefully removed using specialized instruments to prepare for implant placement.
High-quality metal and plastic prosthetic components are precisely positioned and secured to replicate natural knee joint function and alignment.
The incision is closed with sutures or staples, and sterile dressings are applied. A drain may be placed to prevent fluid accumulation during healing.
A structured, patient-first approach from first consultation to full recovery.

What to expect at each stage of your recovery journey.
The first 1-2 weeks focus on wound healing, pain management, and initiating gentle range-of-motion exercises. Patients use walking aids and receive guidance on safe movement patterns while managing swelling with ice and elevation.
Weeks 2-8 involve progressive strengthening exercises, improved flexibility, and gradual increase in weight-bearing activities. Physical therapy sessions focus on restoring normal gait patterns and building muscle strength around the new joint.
Months 3-6 emphasize returning to normal daily activities, recreational pursuits, and achieving optimal knee function. Patients continue home exercises and gradually resume driving, work, and low-impact sports with medical clearance.
Most patients experience dramatic reduction or complete elimination of chronic knee pain, enabling comfortable daily activities and improved quality of life without reliance on pain medications.
The new knee joint provides smooth, stable movement with improved range of motion, allowing patients to walk, climb stairs, and perform routine tasks without limitations or discomfort.
Patients regain the ability to participate in recreational activities, exercise programs, and social engagements that were previously restricted due to knee problems, promoting active lifestyles.
Modern knee implants typically last 15-20 years or longer with proper care, providing reliable joint function and stability for extended periods, reducing the need for revision surgery.
