Knee Replacement (Revision/Total/Unicondylar)

Knee replacement surgery is one of the most commonly performed and highly successful orthopaedic procedures at Moolchand Hospital, recognized as one of the best knee replacement hospital in delhi, one of the best orthopaedic hospital in Delhi, and a premier destination for knee replacement surgery in delhi and joint replacement surgery. It involves replacing the damaged articular surfaces of the knee joint - the lower end of the femur (thigh bone), the upper surface of the tibia (shin bone), and in most cases the back of the patella (kneecap) - with precisely fitted metal and polyethylene implant components that replicate smooth, pain-free knee function.

Knee arthritis - predominantly osteoarthritis - is the most common indication, causing progressive cartilage loss, bone-on-bone contact, severe pain, stiffness, deformity, and inability to perform daily activities. Other indications include rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, avascular necrosis, and severe knee deformity.

Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

Total knee replacement is the gold standard surgical treatment for end-stage knee arthritis affecting all three compartments of the knee (medial, lateral, and patellofemoral). The procedure involves resurfacing the distal femur with a metal femoral component, the proximal tibia with a metal tibial tray and polyethylene insert, and optionally the patella with a polyethylene button. Cemented fixation (using bone cement) provides immediate stability and is the most commonly used technique, while cementless press-fit fixation with biological ingrowth into porous surfaces is used in younger, more active patients. Our total knee replacement surgeons perform these procedures using advanced surgical techniques for optimal outcomes.

Computer-assisted navigation and robotic knee replacement surgery (MAKO robotic surgery) are available at Moolchand Hospital for selected patients, offering sub-millimeter accuracy in bone resection, implant positioning, and alignment, significantly improving long-term outcomes and implant longevity compared to conventional instrumentation.

Unicondylar (Partial) Knee Replacement

Unicondylar knee replacement (UKR) - also known as partial or unicompartmental knee replacement - resurfaces only the affected medial (inner) or lateral (outer) compartment of the knee, preserving the cruciate ligaments and unaffected cartilage in other compartments. UKR is indicated for isolated single-compartment arthritis with an intact anterior cruciate ligament and normal alignment. Compared to TKR, UKR offers faster recovery, better functional outcomes, more natural knee kinematics, and less blood loss - but requires careful patient selection.

Revision Knee Replacement

Revision knee replacement is a complex surgical procedure to replace a failed primary knee replacement. Indications include aseptic loosening, polyethylene wear, periprosthetic joint infection (the most serious complication), periprosthetic fracture, instability, and stiffness. Revision surgery is significantly more challenging than primary replacement due to bone loss, scarring, and the need to remove well-fixed implants. Specialized revision implant systems with stems, wedges, and augments compensate for bone defects and provide stable fixation. Two-stage revision is the gold standard for infected knee replacements - implant removal and antibiotic spacer placement are followed by re-implantation after infection eradication.

At Moolchand Hospital in Lajpat Nagar Delhi, our best orthopedic surgeon in delhi, best knee replacement surgeon in Delhi, and joint replacement surgeons combine technical expertise, advanced implant systems, computer-assisted and robotic knee replacement surgery, and comprehensive enhanced recovery protocols to deliver outstanding surgical outcomes. Our dedicated knee physiotherapy and rehabilitation team begins mobilization on the day of surgery, facilitating rapid recovery and return to independence.

When should I consult an orthopaedic specialist?

If you have persistent joint pain, restricted movement, swelling, difficulty walking, or any injury that doesn’t improve in 48 hours.

Are joint replacements safe?

 Yes. With advanced implants, laminar airflow OTs and expert surgeons, joint replacement surgeries at Moolchand have excellent long-term outcomes.
