What is Knee Replacement?
The name is actually a misnomer. Instead of the whole knee joint, only the damaged surface of the cartilage is replaced with a metal implant. It is recommended for severe arthritis or injury when medicines, injections and physiotherapy no longer help.
Who Should Consider It?
- Persistent knee pain, including pain at night
- Stiffness and difficulty with stairs
- Reduced walking distance
- Daily routine limited despite medicines, injections or physiotherapy
Types of Knee Replacement
Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
The damaged surfaces of the whole knee joint are replaced. The most common option for advanced arthritis, done with Dr. Jitesh's fast-track protocol.
Partial Knee Replacement
Only the damaged part of the knee is replaced and the healthy parts are kept. Suits some patients whose arthritis is limited to one part of the knee.
Robotic Knee Replacement
A CT-based 3D plan guides precise bone cuts and implant alignment, with the surgeon in full control. Robotic knee replacement in Jaipur →
What is Fast-Track Knee Replacement?
Fast-track TKR means reduced surgery time, faster recovery, and a shorter hospital stay. With multimodal pain control, improved surgical technique, better wound care, and aggressive physiotherapy, around 75% of patients go home within 3 days of total knee replacement.
It is a well-established protocol that improves outcomes and reduces both the physical and emotional stress of surgery. It needs a multidisciplinary team, surgeon, anaesthesiologist, nurses, physiotherapists, and nutritionists, working together for early mobility and rehabilitation, keeping the length of stay to 3 to 4 days.
The Essentials of Fast-Track Knee Replacement
Preoperative Workup
Screening for haemoglobin, blood sugar and serum protein, and correcting them before surgery. Comorbidities such as heart disease, hypertension, COPD and diabetes are addressed weeks ahead. Low haemoglobin and raised blood sugar are corrected first.
During Surgery
A muscle-sparing minimally invasive technique speeds recovery, and tranexamic acid is used to reduce post-operative blood loss.
Multimodal Pain Control
Local infiltration of the knee with pain-control drugs, pain infusion pumps, and a transdermal painkiller patch applied the night before, keeping pain low and making recovery smooth.
Post-operative Exercise
Specially designed exercises start the very next day. Patients walk, sit, bend the knee, and climb stairs before discharge.
Recovery Journey
Walking Begins
Patients stand and walk with support the day after surgery, with multimodal pain control keeping discomfort low.
Discharge Home
Most patients walk, sit, bend the knee and climb stairs, then go home within 3 to 4 days.
Independent at Home
Steady improvement in walking distance and knee bending with guided physiotherapy.
Back to Routine
Most patients return to comfortable daily activities, walking confidently without aids.
