What is Total Knee Replacement?
Total Knee Replacement, also known as Total Knee Arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves replacing the damaged or worn surfaces of the knee joint with artificial components. This procedure aims to alleviate pain, restore function, and improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from severe knee arthritis or injury.
Who Needs Knee Replacement?
Knee replacement surgery is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Chronic knee pain that interferes with daily activities
- Severe stiffness or limited range of motion in the knee joint
- Persistent swelling and inflammation despite conservative treatments
- Significant joint damage due to arthritis, injury, or degenerative conditions
Dr. Pramod Kumar Surve evaluates each patient's condition thoroughly to determine if knee replacement surgery is the most appropriate treatment option.
Benefits of Total Knee Replacement :

Different Types of Total Knee Replacement :
- Traditional Total Knee Replacement: In this approach, Dr. Pramod Kumar Surve removes the damaged cartilage and bone from the knee joint and replaces them with metal and plastic components.
- Partial Knee Replacement: Also known as unicompartmental knee replacement, this procedure is suitable for patients with limited joint damage, involving the replacement of only the affected portion of the knee joint.
