Knee Replacement Surgery in Hoshiarpur
Advanced, Evidence-Based Orthopedic Care by Dr. Sanjay Narad
Living with chronic knee pain can slowly affect every part of your routine. Climbing stairs becomes difficult. Walking short distances feels exhausting. Even getting up from a chair may cause discomfort.
If medications, injections, and physiotherapy are no longer giving relief, knee replacement surgery in Hoshiarpur may help restore comfortable movement and improve your quality of life.
Dr. Sanjay Narad provides structured, patient-focused orthopedic care where surgery is recommended only after proper evaluation and when conservative treatment options are no longer effective.
Understanding Why Knee Pain Happens
- Femur (thigh bone)
- Tibia (shin bone)
- Patella (kneecap)
Between these bones lies cartilage — a smooth, cushioning tissue that allows painless movement. Over time, due to osteoarthritis, injury, or age-related wear, this cartilage may break down.
When cartilage thins out:
- Bones begin rubbing against each other
- Swelling develops
- Stiffness increases
- Pain worsens during walking or climbing
In advanced stages, joint deformity and limited mobility may occur.
When Is Knee Replacement Recommended?
Knee replacement is usually considered when:
- Pain persists for several months
- Walking distance has significantly reduced
- Daily activities are affected
- Night pain disturbs sleep
- Swelling does not respond to medication
- X-rays show advanced joint damage
- Physiotherapy and injections no longer provide relief
- Leg deformity or bowing of the knees
Surgery is never the first step. A complete clinical assessment, imaging, and medical review are done before making a recommendation.
Types of Knee Replacement Surgery
Every knee condition is different. The procedure is selected based on the extent of joint damage.
Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
The entire damaged joint surface is replaced. Commonly advised in advanced arthritis affecting multiple compartments.
Advanced Technology Used:
- AI-Assisted Joint Replacement Surgery
- AI-Robotic Surgery
Partial Knee Replacement
Only the affected portion of the knee is replaced. Healthy bone and cartilage are preserved where possible.
Revision Knee Replacement
Performed when a previous knee implant becomes loose, worn out, infected, or fails over time.
The final decision depends on:
- Age
- Bone quality
- Activity level
- Overall health
- Severity of arthritis
What Happens During Knee Replacement Surgery?
The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours and is done under regional or general anesthesia.
Step 1: Removal of Damaged Surface
The worn-out cartilage and small portions of bone are carefully removed.
Step 2: Precise Bone Preparation
Special alignment instruments ensure proper implant positioning for natural movement.
Step 3: Placement of Artificial Components
The implant includes:
- Metal femoral component
- Metal tibial tray
- High-grade plastic spacer
- Patellar component (if required)
Implants may be:
- Cemented (fixed using surgical cement)
- Uncemented (allowing bone to grow into the implant)
- Hybrid (combination)
Modern implants are designed to mimic natural joint motion and withstand daily activities.
Benefits of Knee Replacement
Patients commonly report:
- Major reduction in pain
- Improved walking distance
- Better stability
- Improved sleep
- Increased independence
- Ability to return to routine activities
While improvement begins early, full recovery requires dedication to physiotherapy.
Recovery Timeline After Knee Replacement
Estimated Recovery Timeline
- Day 1–3 : Assisted standing and walking
- Week 2 : Stitch removal
- Week 3–4 : Reduced swelling and improved bending
- Week 6–8 : Return to light activities
- 3 Months : Stronger joint control
- 6 Months : Near complete functional recovery
Recovery depends on:
- Age
- Medical condition
- Muscle strength
- Rehabilitation commitment
- Regular physiotherapy is critical for long-term success.
Risks and Safety Considerations
Like any major surgery, knee replacement carries potential risks, though complications are uncommon. Possible risks include:
- Infection
- Blood clots
- Implant loosening
- Stiffness
- Persistent discomfort
Proper surgical technique, sterile protocols, medical clearance, and guided rehabilitation significantly reduce these risks. Open discussion about risks is part of ethical orthopedic care
How Long Does a Knee Implant Last?
Most modern knee implants last 15–20 years or longer, depending on:
- Body weight management
- Physical activity level
- Implant type
- Surgical precision
Highly-impact activities such as jumping or running are generally discouraged.
