I wanted to find some online web information on the recovery time after the knee surgery and the total stay required at the hospital and in India for the Single Knee arthroplasty surgery and double Knee Joint arthroplasty surgery procedure? What is the recovery time? How will I know if I am a good eligible candidate for total knee replacement surgery? What are the benefits- advantages, disadvantages, risks, complications and side effects of the knee replacement surgery? What is the time required for recovery, recuperation and back to work after the surgery?

Visiting India for Unilateral Knee Joint arthroplasty Surgery would require a total stay of 15 days including 06 days of post-surgery in-patient stay at the hospital. For Bilateral Knee Joint Replacement surgery the minimum total stay in India would be for 22 days including 09 days of pre-surgery and post-procedure inpatient stay at the hospital. Your orthopedic knee replacement surgeon would decide about your being an ideal candidate for the surgery, Life Smile advises you to discuss all the aspects of your surgery with your knee replacement expert doctor.

Recovery time: Most knee replacement patients are around 80% recovered by six weeks after the surgery. They will continue to improve more gradually over the next three to six months. Recovery for knee arthroplasty individuals varies from person to person depending on recovery period exercises and the level of pain and activity before their surgery.

What types of implants / prosthesis are used for the minimally invasive access surgery- MIS partial- unicompartmental knee replacement procedure and total Knee Replacement surgery and is there any cost difference due to the various types and makes- brands of the prosthesis used? Is there some gender specific alternative prosthesis for Knee Replacement surgery in women, different from the one used for men?

In knee replacement surgery, the damaged knee bone and cartilage are replaced with metal and plastic surfaces that are shaped to restore knee movement and function. The new artificial knee is called prosthesis. The prosthesis is generally composed of two metal pieces fitted onto the ends of the tibia (shin bone) and the femur (thigh bone) and a plastic piece inserted between them to act as a bearing. Stainless steel, cobalt or chrome alloys or titanium may be used for these components. Durable, wear resistant polyethylene (plastic) is used for the bearing. Plastic bone cement may be used to anchor the prosthesis into the bone. Some joint replacements also can be implanted without cement when the prosthesis is designed to fit and lock onto the bone directly.

The brands of prosthesis commonly used are Oxford Unicompartmental Knee System, Uni Knee and NexGen Complete Knee System by Zimmer, Triathlon Knee System by Stryker, High-Flex Rotating Platform knee by DePuy and The Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee, made by Zimmer. The Knee replacement cost may vary when using the different brands of the prosthesis.

The first knee replacement shaped to fit a woman's anatomy has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee, made by Zimmer, Inc, is a design based on three distinct and scientifically documented shape differences between a woman's and a man’s knees. The differences involve the bones, ligaments and tendons in the joints. The implant addresses the shape-related differences typical of a woman's knee: a narrower shape; thinner shape, and the need for more natural motion for the knee when walking. Nearly two-thirds of the global knee replacement patients are women.
