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.
X-rays and physical exams assess knee damage and plan the procedure.
General or spinal anesthesia is used to keep you comfortable.
Damaged cartilage and bone are removed, replaced with metal and plastic implants.
The incision is closed, and rehab begins to restore movement.
The surgery takes 1-2 hours. Your surgeon will explain the approach during consultation.
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.
Preparation ensures a smooth surgery and recovery:
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.
1-3 days, depending on your progress and pain management.
Use crutches or walker; begin physical therapy to regain motion.
Walk with less assistance; resume light activities with therapy.
Full recovery for most, with normal walking and activities.
Our team coordinates your rehab plan, including therapy and follow-ups for optimal recovery.
Pain management is a key focus during and after knee replacement:
Anesthesia ensures no pain during the procedure.
Moderate knee pain; controlled with medication.
Pain reduces over weeks with therapy; mild soreness may persist.
Most experience no pain after full recovery.
Our partner hospitals prioritize effective pain relief, and we’ll ensure your recovery is comfortable.
