Your Questions Answered

Why Do I Need Knee Replacement Surgery?

Knee replacement is recommended when severe arthritis, injury, or wear causes chronic pain, stiffness, and limited mobility that doesn’t improve with non-surgical treatments. It replaces the damaged joint with an artificial one to restore function. Your doctor will suggest it based on your symptoms and X-ray results.

How Do They Do It?

Pre-Surgical Assessment

X-rays and physical exams assess knee damage and plan the procedure.

Anesthesia

General or spinal anesthesia is used to keep you comfortable.

Surgical Procedure

Damaged cartilage and bone are removed, replaced with metal and plastic implants.

Closing & Recovery

The incision is closed, and rehab begins to restore movement.

The surgery takes 1-2 hours. Your surgeon will explain the approach during consultation.

What Could Go Wrong?

Knee replacement is highly successful, but risks include:

Infection around the implant

Blood clots in the leg

Implant loosening over time

Stiffness or limited motion

Serious complications occur in less than 2% of cases. SB Medical Travels partners with top hospitals to minimize risks and ensure excellent results.

How Do I Get Ready?

Preparation ensures a smooth surgery and recovery:

Before Surgery:

  • Fast for 6-8 hours if under general anesthesia

  • Discuss medications with your doctor; some may need adjustment

  • Prepare crutches or a walker and wear loose clothing

  • Arrange for someone to assist you post-surgery

SB Medical Travels provides a detailed pre-surgery checklist and personalized guidance to prepare you fully.
