Types of Knee Replacement at RNB Hospital
Total Knee Replacement (TKR): The entire knee joint surface is replaced
with high-quality metal and medical-grade plastic implants. Recommended for severe arthritis
affecting the whole knee.
Partial (Unicompartmental) Knee Replacement: Only the damaged portion
of the knee is replaced. Smaller incision, faster recovery, and preserves more of the
natural knee — suitable for arthritis confined to one compartment.
Revision Knee Replacement: Replacement or repair of a previously implanted
knee prosthesis that has worn out or loosened. Performed by our senior orthopaedic team.
Procedure & Recovery
The surgery is performed under spinal or general anaesthesia and typically takes
1.5–2 hours. Most patients are able to stand and take assisted steps within
24 hours of surgery. Our in-house physiotherapy team begins rehabilitation
the very next day to restore strength and mobility quickly.
Recovery timeline: Walking with support in 1–2 days →
Discharge in 3–5 days → Walking independently in 4–6 weeks →
Full recovery and return to normal activities in 8–12 weeks.
