Severe knee pain from osteoarthritis or injury doesn't have to control your life. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA), or total knee replacement, is a proven surgical solution that replaces damaged joint surfaces with durable implants. At KneeCares in Jaipur, our expert orthopedic team delivers personalized TKA procedures with cutting-edge techniques, helping thousands reclaim active lifestyles.

What is Total Knee Arthroplasty?

Total knee arthroplasty involves resurfacing the knee joint. The femur (thighbone), tibia (shinbone), and patella (kneecap) are precisely reshaped, and metal and plastic components are implanted to mimic natural movement. This eliminates bone-on-bone grinding, reduces inflammation, and restores smooth motion. Modern implants, often customized via 3D imaging, last 15-20 years, with over 95% patient satisfaction rates.

Who needs TKA? It's ideal for adults with advanced arthritis, rheumatoid conditions, or post-traumatic damage where non-surgical options like pain meds, injections, or therapy fail. Symptoms include persistent pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited range—making daily tasks like walking or climbing stairs unbearable. At KneeCares, we use advanced diagnostics like digital X-rays and gait analysis to confirm candidacy.

The TKA Procedure at KneeCares

Our minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty takes 1-2 hours under spinal or general anesthesia. A 6-8 inch incision exposes the joint; damaged cartilage and bone are removed. The femoral component (metal alloy) caps the thighbone, a plastic spacer cushions the tibia (with its metal base), and a patellar button smooths kneecap motion. Robotic assistance ensures millimeter precision, minimizing tissue trauma.

Post-surgery, most patients walk with assistance within 24 hours. Hospital stays average 2-3 days, followed by our tailored rehab program emphasizing physiotherapy, pain management, and home exercises.

Recovery and Results

Expect swelling and discomfort initially, managed with ice, elevation, and meds. Full recovery spans 3-6 months:

• Weeks 1-2: Walker/crutches, basic exercises.

• Weeks 3-6: Cane use, strength training.

• Months 2+: Return to sports like golf or cycling.

KneeCares' multidisciplinary approach—surgeons, physios, nutritionists—boosts outcomes. Complications like infection (<1%) or clots are rare with our protocols.
