Overview
Knee Replacement Surgery, or Knee Arthroplasty, is beneficial for individuals experiencing severe knee pain, stiffness, or limited mobility due to arthritis, injury, or wear and tear. At Sarvodaya Hospital’s Centre for Orthopaedics and Robotic Joint Replacement, we offer both robotic and manual Total and Partial Knee Replacements.Sarvodaya Hospitals in Faridabad and Greater Noida West feature the most advanced, fully active knee replacement robots, ensuring sub-millimetre accuracy, minimal blood and bone loss, reduced pain, a quick recovery, and early discharge from the hospital.
Why is Knee Replacement Required?
Knee replacement becomes essential when joint damage severely affects mobility, daily activities, and quality of life. The most common condition is Osteoarthritis, where cartilage wears out over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling. Rheumatoid Arthritis, an autoimmune disorder, causes chronic inflammation and deformity.Other reasons include post-traumatic arthritis from old injuries, avascular necrosis causing bone death, and knee deformities due to misalignment. In cases where previous surgeries or implants have failed, a revision knee replacement may be recommended by the Knee Replacement surgeon in Faridabad.
Procedure of Knee Replacement
Each knee replacement surgery at Sarvodaya begins with a comprehensive evaluation, X-rays, blood work, and anaesthesia clearance. Depending on the case, we offer:- Total Knee Replacement (TKR) – all compartments are replaced
- Partial Knee Replacement (PKR) – only the damaged compartment is treated
The procedure involves removing worn-out cartilage and bone, inserting a prosthetic implant, and checking joint alignment. The fully active robotic system is used for guided placement with unmatched precision. Surgery lasts approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, followed by a 3–5 day hospital stay. Physiotherapy starts within 24 hours under the expert guidance of the best orthopaedic doctor in Faridabad.

- Avoid high-impact activities like running or jumping that may affect the implant.
- Maintain a healthy weight to minimise stress on the new joint.
- Choose joint-friendly exercises such as walking, swimming, or cycling.
- Use assistive devices like a walker or cane during initial recovery, if advised.
- Stick to medications and follow-ups to ensure proper healing and progress tracking.
