Robotic Knee Replacement in Ahmedabad

Knee Replacement Surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a specialized orthopedic procedure where a damaged or arthritic knee joint is replaced with an artificial implant (prosthesis). This surgery is recommended when chronic knee pain, stiffness, or joint dysfunction no longer respond to non-surgical treatments such as medication, physiotherapy, or lifestyle changes. At Vedant Hospital, Gota, Dr. Amish Shah offers advanced knee replacement solutions for patients suffering from conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic joint damage.

Benefits of Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery

• Pain Relief – Significantly reduces or eliminates chronic knee pain.
• Improved Mobility – Restores joint movement and walking ability.
• Corrects Deformity – Enhances knee alignment and appearance.
• Better Quality of Life – Enables return to normal activities and independence.

Patients typically stay in the hospital for 3 to 4 days after surgery. With the help of physical therapy, muscle strength around the joint is restored. A well-performed knee replacement can last 15 to 20 years or more, depending on activity level and implant quality.

When is Knee Replacement Recommended?

• Severe pain or stiffness – Especially during walking, climbing stairs, or resting.
• Advanced joint damage – X-rays or MRI show significant cartilage loss or joint deformity.
• Reduced daily function – Difficulty performing routine tasks like sitting, standing, or driving.
• Failed conservative treatments – When medication, injections, and physiotherapy no longer help.
