Medical Overview

A total knee replacement is a surgical procedure to resurface a knee damaged by severe arthritis or injury. In India, leading accredited hospitals utilize state-of-the-art robotic assistance and high-durability implant materials to optimize outcomes. AUROMIL coordinates your access to these premier centers, guiding you from diagnostic reviews to post-treatment recovery support.

Who May Benefit

  • Individuals experiencing severe knee pain or stiffness that limits daily activities like walking or climbing stairs.
  • Patients with moderate or severe knee pain while resting, either day or night.
  • Chronic knee inflammation and swelling that does not improve with rest or medications.
  • Knee deformity, such as a bowing in or out of the joint.

Treatment Options

Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement

Using 3D pre-operative planning and surgical robotic guides to ensure sub-millimeter placement precision.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Surgical techniques designed to minimize tissue damage, resulting in less post-operative pain and faster recovery.

Patient-Specific Implants

Custom-fit implants designed to match the patient's unique anatomical contours.

Clinical Recovery Timeline

Initial recovery involves inpatient care for 3 to 5 days, during which physical therapy begins. Walking with support (such as a walker or crutches) starts on day one. Most patients return to light daily activities within 6 to 12 weeks, with complete long-term healing supported by dedicated physical rehabilitation.

Expected Benefits

  • Significant relief from chronic knee joint pain.
  • Restored joint mobility, strength, and function.
  • Improved alignment of deformed knee structures.
  • Enhanced quality of life and return to active hobbies.

!Potential Clinical Risks

  • Infection at the surgical incision site or deep in the joint.
  • Blood clots in the leg veins (deep vein thrombosis).
  • Implant wear or loosening over long-term use.
  • Stiffness or persistent mild discomfort in the joint.
