Knee Replacement Surgery In Chennai – Jeshwanth Orthopaedics
Introduction
There’s usually a moment patients describe when they know their knee pain has crossed a line — struggling to stand up without pushing off with both hands, avoiding stairs, or lying awake at night because the knee won’t let them rest. When painkillers, physiotherapy, and rest stop making a real difference, that’s typically when people start looking into Knee Replacement Surgery In Chennai. At Jeshwanth Orthopaedics, Dr. Jeshwanth Netaji takes a measured approach — surgery is only recommended once conservative treatment has genuinely stopped working, not as a first response to knee pain.
Why Patients Choose Jeshwanth Orthopaedics
- Hands-on surgical experience in joint replacement procedures
- Personalized treatment plans built around your lifestyle, not a fixed template
- Modern surgical techniques supporting faster, safer recovery
- Evidence-based treatment decisions, not guesswork
- Rehabilitation support that continues well after the operation
- Long-term follow-up care to protect implant health for years to come
What Is Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee replacement, medically called knee arthroplasty, involves removing the worn-out surfaces inside the knee joint and replacing them with an artificial implant that mimics natural movement. It generally falls into two categories:
Total Knee Replacement
The entire joint surface is resurfaced — typically recommended when arthritis has affected the whole knee.
Partial Knee Replacement
Only the damaged section is treated, leaving the rest of the natural knee intact — a less invasive option when damage is localized.
Who Might Need This Surgery?
- Osteoarthritis, the most common cause, driven by age-related wear and tear
- Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition affecting the joint lining
- Post-traumatic arthritis, developing years after an old injury or fracture
- Severe cartilage loss causing bone-on-bone contact
- Knee deformities, such as bow legs, affecting the walking pattern
Signs It May Be Time for Evaluation
- Knee pain that persists even at rest
- Noticeable limping or difficulty walking normal distances
- Stairs becoming genuinely painful rather than just uncomfortable
- Stiffness limiting how far the knee bends or straightens
- Visible swelling around the joint
- A sensation that the knee might “give way”
- Pain disrupting sleep at night
Types of Knee Replacement Available
Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
For advanced arthritis affecting the entire joint.
Partial Knee Replacement (PKR)
A smaller, less invasive option for damage limited to one part of the knee.
Bilateral Knee Replacement
Both knees treated together or in separate surgeries, based on health and preference.
Revision Knee Replacement
For patients whose earlier implant needs correction or replacement.
How Dr. Jeshwanth Netaji Approaches Every Case
- Detailed clinical examination of joint movement
- Digital X-rays to assess bone and joint damage
- MRI scans when soft tissue or cartilage evaluation is needed
- Careful implant selection matched to bone structure and activity level
- Precise surgical planning using modern alignment techniques
- Strict infection-prevention protocols
- Early mobilization and structured rehabilitation after surgery
Recovery Timeline
Day 1–3: First assisted steps with a walker, alongside pain management.
Week 1–6: Physiotherapy intensifies, building strength and improving knee flexibility.
Week 6–12: Reduced reliance on walking aids and steady gains in daily confidence.
3–6 Months: Most patients return to work and resume light activity with significantly less pain than before.
What Changes After Recovery
- Chronic pain that had become “normal” is finally resolved
- Walking feels steady and confident again
- Daily tasks like climbing stairs become far easier
- Sleep improves without nighttime knee pain
- Greater independence in day-to-day life
- Long-lasting implants designed for durability
