Total Knee Replacement in Tamil Nadu

How long does a knee replacement last?

Modern knee implants commonly last 20-25 years, especially with a healthy weight and appropriate activity level.

How painful is the recovery?

There is real discomfort in the first couple of weeks, well managed with medication and ice, and most of the significant pain from arthritis is actually relieved once healing progresses.

When will I walk without support?

Most patients use a walker or cane for a few weeks, progressing to unaided walking over 6-12 weeks with physiotherapy.

Is partial knee replacement an option for me?

If your arthritis is limited to just one compartment of the knee, a partial replacement may be possible, preserving more of your natural knee — your orthopedic surgeon can assess this on imaging.

What are the risks?

Risks include infection, blood clots, stiffness, and implant wear over time, all of which are reduced with careful surgical technique and dedicated post-op physiotherapy.
