You would be admitted to the hospital on the evening/night before the day of operation and would be examined again to make sure that you are fit and well to undergo operation.

After deciding a date of admission and surgery, usually about 7 or 10 days prior to admission, we advise some Blood and Urine tests and a medical checkup by Physician. This is to make sure that you are fit for anaesthesia and operation. This will also help us detect if, at all, there is any active or recent infection in your body which can be treated before surgery.

Two types of Anesthesia are commonly used for Knee Replacement Surgery. The First type of anesthesia is Spinal Anesthesia with Epidural Analgesia, which is very commonly used, works by numbing your legs, so you do not feel the operation. This is done by placing numbing medicine around the nerves that would go to your legs using a small catheter in your lower back. You are also given medicine to relax you and you may fall asleep, but you can still breathe on your own.

It is very likely that you will have pain in your knee for first 2 days. This is normal and you should not be surprised or concerned. Most of the pain that you experience right after surgery is from the surgical incision and dissection. You will be given strong pain medication through your I.V. line and also through the epidural catheter and most of the patients are very comfortable with these pain relieving measures. With our Fast Track Replacement Technique and a use of the latest analgesia protocols, we have been able to make postoperative period quite Pain-free! However, generally any surgery is more or less painful only for first 48 hours and then the patients more likely start getting more and more comfortable.

Computer navigated knee replacement surgery uses computer-assisted technology to guide the surgeon during the procedure, while traditional knee replacement surgery does not use this technology.

During computer navigated knee replacement surgery, the surgeon makes a small incision in the knee and uses computer-guided technology to accurately remove damaged bone and cartilage and replace it with an artificial joint.

Yes, physical therapy is typically recommended after computer navigated knee replacement surgery to help strengthen the knee and improve mobility and flexibility.

The implant gold knee is one of the best artificial joint. It has a longer life span and does not trigger any allergic reactions. According to an article by Bone and Joint 360 the Golden knee implant is compatible with human tissues, and it is highly recommended for patients that are 60 years of age or below. Knee implants are normally made of an alloy of chromium and cobalt and sometimes they tend to release metal ions inside your body. Patients who may experience an allergic reaction tend to experience inflammation in the knee joint because of the same. Eventually, complications like infections, loosening of the joint, and persisting knee pain develop.

If the patient has severe arthritis which has caused bending of the knee, deformity and difficulty in walking, It is not advisable to avoid the surgery because the pain would become worse and your activity (standing, walking, outdoor work) will become less & less over a period of time.
