When Every Step Feels Like a Struggle… It’s Time to Take the First Step Towards Relief.

We get it. Knee pain isn’t just physical, it chips away at your freedom, confidence, and joy.

When bending down to tie your shoes feels like a challenge, when climbing stairs makes you hesitate, when morning walks become a memory. It might be time to consider a solution that doesn’t just manage pain, but replaces it with possibility.

Welcome to your guide to knee replacement surgery, brought to you by Aadicura Hospital Vadodara’s trusted name in advanced orthopedic care.

Let’s walk you through everything you need to know, no complicated jargon, just real talk.

Why Would You Need Knee Replacement Surgery?

Knee replacement isn’t just for the elderly. It’s for anyone whose knees have said: “Enough.”

You might need this surgery if:

  • Pain keeps you up at night or slows you down during the day
  • You’ve tried medicines, injections, physiotherapy… and nothing works anymore
  • You can’t enjoy the activities you once loved, be it gardening, playing with grandkids, or just going for a stroll

Most commonly, this is caused by conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or injuries that have worn out the joint over time.

The good news? Knee replacement surgery can give you your movement and your life back.

Types of Knee Replacement Surgery

One size doesn’t fit all, especially when it comes to knees. Here are your options:

  • Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Your entire knee joint is replaced with an artificial one.
  • Partial Knee Replacement (PKR): Only the damaged portion is replaced, ideal if arthritis is limited to one part of the knee.
  • Bilateral Replacement: When both knees need attention, either done together or a few months apart.

At Aadicura Hospital, our orthopedic team helps you choose the best option based on your condition, lifestyle, and recovery goals.

Key Symptoms to Watch For:

Our knee replacement journey starts with preparation, physical, emotional, and medical.

Here’s how we help you gear up:

  • Medical evaluations, X-rays, and blood tests
  • Pre-surgery physiotherapy to strengthen your muscles
  • Counselling sessions to ease anxiety and answer all your questions
  • Clear instructions on diet, medications, and home arrangements for aftercare

We believe informed patients recover better and faster.

What Actually Happens During Knee Replacement Surgery?

On the big day, here’s what you can expect:

  • The procedure lasts 1-2 hours under anaesthesia
    Damaged bone and cartilage are removed
  • A custom-fit artificial joint is implanted
  • The incision is closed, and you’re moved to recovery

Thanks to advanced surgical techniques at our hospital in Vadodara, most patients experience less pain, minimal scarring, and quicker mobility after surgery.

Knee Replacement Recovery & Rehabilitation: The Real Journey Begins

Let’s bust a myth, knee replacement recovery isn’t all about lying in bed.

In fact, you’ll be encouraged to move within 24 hours of your surgery—with a little help from our expert physiotherapists, of course.

Here’s a rough recovery timeline:

  • Week 1-2: Standing, walking with a walker, basic movements
  • Week 3-6: Walking more confidently, climbing stairs, doing everyday tasks
  • Beyond Week 6: Most people get back to work, driving, and light activities

Of course, every person heals differently. But with dedicated knee replacement rehabilitation, your recovery is not just possible, it’s powerful.

What Results Can You Expect?

You’re not just getting a new knee, you’re getting back your independence.

Patients typically report:

  • 90-95% reduction in pain
  • Better sleep
  • Increased mobility and flexibility
  • The freedom to live life on their own terms

And the best part? Knee implants can last 15 to 20 years, especially if you stay active and follow post-surgery care guidelines.
