Frequently Asked Questions

Typically, a standard knee replacement surgery takes between 1 to 2 hours. The duration may vary slightly depending on the technique used (traditional, minimally invasive, or robotic-assisted) and whether one or both knees are being operated on.

Yes. Knee replacement is one of the safest and most successful orthopedic surgeries performed globally, with an overall success rate exceeding 95%. India's partner hospitals are NABH/JCI accredited, strictly adhering to international surgical sterilization protocols and robotic precision.

Most patients are helped to stand and take a few steps using a walker or crutches within 12 to 24 hours after surgery under supervised physiotherapy. Independent walking without support is typically achieved within 3 to 6 weeks.

Yes, physiotherapy is vital to restoring your knee's complete range of motion, muscle strength, and flexibility. Supervised rehab begins immediately in the hospital and continues during your recovery stay at the hotel.

Modern FDA and CE-certified implants (from world leaders like Stryker, Zimmer Biomet, and Johnson & Johnson) typically last between 15 to 25+ years with proper rehabilitation and regular low-impact exercise.
