Knee Replacement in Ahmedabad, Vadodara & Anand

You've tried non-surgical treatments (medication, injections, therapy) without sufficient relief.
Your knee pain is severe even at rest.
The joint damage is advanced (e.g., due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis) and is impacting your daily life.

Total Knee Replacement Surgery
During total knee replacement, the damaged articular cartilage and bone are removed and replaced with metal and plastic components to recreate knee function. The procedure often takes around 1-3 hours, depending on individual factors. Complications are uncommon but may include infection, blood clots, or stiffness. However, if the procedures are done robotically, they have their advantages like less blood loss, soft tissue protection, CT-based planning helps clear view and pre-planning to avoid any unwanted complications at the time of the surgery.
This operation is carried out by experienced knee replacement surgeons at a reputed knee replacement hospital in Ahmedabad, like Zydus.

Partial Knee Replacement: Unicompartmental Knee Replacement (UKR)
When only partial knee is damaged, a partial knee replacement may be a viable option. This approach preserves more of the native bone and ligaments, leading to:
This operation is carried out by experienced knee replacement surgeons at a reputed knee replacement hospital in Ahmedabad, like Zydus.

Less blood loss
Less physiotherapy time
A more natural knee feel and quicker recovery

However, this option requires careful patient selection and may not be suitable for all individuals.

Recovery and Outcomes

Hospital stay: usually 4-10 days for TKR.
Within the first few days, you'll work with a physiotherapist and begin weight-bearing with a walker or stick.
By 3-6 weeks, many people resume most normal leisure activities; complete resolution of swelling and pain may take up to 3 months. These recovery timelines align with international standards.

With developments like robotic knee replacement in Ahmedabad, many patients experience enhanced precision, reduced soft tissue trauma, and faster recovery.

Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery

Zydus Hospitals, Ahmedabad, Anand, and Vadodara offer Robotic joint replacement surgeries, including Robotic Knee Replacement, Total Knee Replacement, and Partial Knee Replacement surgery. The benefits are exceptionally good as it offers reduced blood loss, quicker recovery, smaller cuts and shorter hospital stay. Despite different technologies available for joint replacement procedures, Zydus has one of the most advanced robotic systems, the US FDA-approved MAKO Robotic System. During surgery, a lot of bone dust is generated, but this system employs a bone saw cutting technique that helps reduce bone wastage. It also eliminates the need to open the femoral canal, minimizing fluid loss and directly improving the life of the surgical implant.

The MAKO Robotic System leverages advanced software and CT imaging to construct a 3D model of the joint, allowing surgeons to identify outliers and determine precise implant size, orientation, and positioning according to each patient's unique anatomy. During the procedure, real-time haptic feedback and defined surgical boundaries help improve accuracy and reduce the risk of misalignment, extending implant life and reducing the need for revision surgeries.

Zydus has already performed more than 1000 Robotic Joint Replacement surgeries across Gujarat, with elderly, middle-aged, domestic, and international patients benefiting from the combination of advanced technology and surgical expertise. The Robotic Joint Replacement surgeons include some of the renowned names across Gujarat and have been delivering excellent outcomes in joint replacement procedures.

Even the cost difference is minimal in traditional VS Robotic. With just a difference of few thousands, one can opt for Robotic Knee Replacement surgery which offers quick recovery, reduced blood loss and longer implant life.
