Total and partial knee replacement surgeries performed by Dr. Harsh Patel to relieve severe arthritis pain and restore full mobility — using the latest conventional and minimally invasive techniques.
Knee replacement surgery (also called knee arthroplasty) is a procedure where the damaged surfaces of the knee joint are removed and replaced with artificial components — typically made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics, and polymers.
The goal is to relieve pain, correct deformity, and restore the natural alignment and function of the knee — allowing patients to walk, climb stairs, and perform daily activities comfortably.
Dr. Harsh Patel evaluates each patient individually to recommend the most suitable type of knee replacement surgery.
The entire knee joint surface — femur, tibia, and patella — is replaced with prosthetic components. Ideal for severe arthritis affecting all three compartments of the knee.
Only the damaged compartment of the knee is replaced, preserving healthy bone and tissue. This results in a more natural feel, faster recovery, and smaller incision.
Using robotic arm technology for sub-millimetre precision in bone resection and implant placement. Superior alignment, less soft-tissue trauma, and faster rehabilitation.
Performed when a previous knee replacement has failed or worn out. Dr. Harsh Patel has specialized training in complex revision surgeries requiring specialized implants.
A less-invasive approach using a smaller incision (~10cm vs standard 20cm), causing less muscle disruption, reduced hospital stay, and quicker return to walking.
Both knees replaced simultaneously or in staged procedures. Reduces overall recovery time and hospital visits for patients with bilateral severe arthritis.
If any of these apply to you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Harsh Patel for a thorough evaluation.
Pain at rest or during night that doesn't respond to medications, injections, or physiotherapy after months of treatment.
Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, getting in or out of chairs, and pain that prevents normal daily activities.
Bowing in or out of the knee (varus or valgus deformity) that progresses over time and alters your gait.
Treatments like anti-inflammatories, steroid injections, PRP, bracing, and physiotherapy no longer provide relief.
Persistent swelling, warmth, and stiffness in the knee joint despite rest and anti-inflammatory medications.
Knee pain severe enough to wake you at night or make sleeping in any position uncomfortable.
Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis with significant cartilage loss visible on X-ray.
Inability to enjoy activities you love — social outings, travel, or family events — due to knee pain and limitation.
Dr. Patel reviews your medical history, conducts a physical exam, and orders X-rays or MRI to assess the extent of knee damage and determine suitability for surgery.
Blood tests, cardiac clearance, and pre-surgery physiotherapy. Our team guides you through what to expect before, during, and after the procedure.
Under spinal or general anaesthesia, Dr. Patel removes damaged cartilage and bone, then precisely positions the prosthetic components to restore natural knee mechanics.
You'll begin walking within 24 hours with physiotherapist guidance. Pain management and DVT prevention measures are actively monitored throughout your hospital stay.
A structured physiotherapy program over 6–12 weeks helps restore full knee strength and mobility. Most patients resume normal activities including walking and light exercise within 3 months.
First steps with a walker under physiotherapist supervision. Pain is managed with medications.
Return home, continue physio exercises. Walk with minimal support. Swelling gradually reduces.
Walk without aids on flat surfaces. Climb stairs with support. Drive a car. Resume light daily activities.
Return to near-normal activities, social events, light sports. Enjoy a pain-free life with full mobility.
There is no strict age limit. It's recommended based on severity of pain and disability rather than age alone. Patients aged 50–80 are most commonly treated, but younger patients with severe arthritis may also qualify. Dr. Patel evaluates each case individually.
Modern knee implants typically last 15–25 years with proper care. The longevity depends on your activity level, body weight, and the type of implant used. High-quality implants combined with Dr. Patel's precise surgical technique ensure maximum lifespan.
Robotic surgery offers sub-millimetre precision, better implant alignment, less soft-tissue trauma, and often faster recovery. It's particularly beneficial for complex cases. However, both conventional and robotic surgeries yield excellent outcomes in Dr. Patel's hands — the choice depends on your anatomy and specific needs.
Some pain and swelling in the first few weeks is normal and expected. Dr. Patel uses a multimodal pain management protocol — including nerve blocks, oral medications, and ice therapy — to keep discomfort minimal. Most patients find post-surgical pain manageable and far less than their pre-surgery arthritis pain.
Most patients can climb stairs within 4–6 weeks and drive within 6–8 weeks. Sitting cross-legged (Indian style) is possible for many patients — typically achievable within 3–6 months. Dr. Patel focuses on achieving maximum knee flexion to restore culturally important functional activities for Indian patients.
Stop living with knee pain. Dr. Harsh Patel will evaluate your condition and discuss the best treatment option — whether surgery is needed or not. All consultations are honest, thorough, and patient-first.
