Getting the decision right
Is knee replacement the right next step?
Knee replacement usually becomes a consideration when arthritis is severe, everyday activity is becoming difficult and non-surgical treatment is no longer helping enough. A specialist review can help clarify whether surgery makes sense now or whether other treatment is still worth considering.
Knee arthritis-
Pain and stiffness keep limiting everyday life
Walking, stairs, standing up, sleep or normal daily activity are becoming increasingly difficult because of the knee.
-
Non-surgical treatment is no longer helping enough
Medicines, physiotherapy, injections or activity changes are no longer giving enough relief from advanced knee arthritis.
-
Your doctor recommends knee replacement
You want to understand whether surgery makes sense now and which type of knee replacement may suit the joint.
-
An earlier knee replacement is causing trouble
Pain, loosening, wear, infection or other problems with an existing knee replacement may need revision surgery.
Not sure about the recommendation?
A second opinion can review your symptoms, examination, X-rays and previous treatment before you decide on surgery. It can also help clarify whether replacement is needed now and which operation may suit your knee.
Choosing the right operation
Which knee replacement may apply?
The right operation depends on how much of the knee is damaged, whether one or both knees are affected and whether there is already an implant in the joint.
Total knee replacement
Total knee replacement may suit knees where arthritis affects several parts of the joint and pain, stiffness or loss of function remains severe despite non-surgical treatment.
Partial knee replacement
Partial knee replacement may suit some patients when damage is limited to one part of the knee and the rest of the joint is suitable for preservation.
Bilateral knee replacement
When both knees have severe arthritis, the decision includes whether both knees should be replaced during the same operation or treated separately.
Revision knee replacement
Revision surgery treats problems involving an earlier knee replacement, including pain, loosening, wear, infection or changes around the implant.
Considering robotic assistance?
Read how robotic assistance may fit into knee replacement and what role the surgeon still plays during the operation.
Why specialist experience matters
Why choose a knee replacement specialist?
A good knee replacement decision starts before the operation. The surgeon needs to judge whether replacement is appropriate, understand how the symptoms match the examination and X-rays, and choose an operation that fits the pattern of joint damage.
Dr. Aniket Patil specializes in primary and revision knee replacement. He assesses patients considering their first replacement as well as those with pain or problems from an existing knee implant.
He has 20+ years of clinical and surgical experience and has performed 3,000+ joint replacement surgeries. He trained in joint replacement at Carl Gustav Carus University Hospital in Dresden and in arthroscopic surgery at Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong.
Robotic-assisted surgery
Robotic knee replacement in Pune
Dr. Aniket Patil is a consultant robotic joint replacement surgeon at Noble Hospitals & Research Centre in Pune. Robotic technology can assist the surgeon with planning, bone preparation and implant positioning during knee replacement.
The robot does not replace the surgeon or make the decision to operate. Whether robotic assistance is useful depends on your knee and the type of replacement you need.
