Persistent knee pain can make walking, climbing stairs, exercising and performing everyday activities increasingly difficult. When severe arthritis or other damage to the knee no longer responds adequately to medicines, physiotherapy, injections or other non-surgical treatments, knee replacement surgery may be considered.
Knee replacement in Navi Mumbai involves removing damaged portions of the knee joint and replacing them with artificial components designed to restore joint function, reduce pain and improve mobility.
At Joint Robo, patients are evaluated by Dr. Pramod Bhor, an orthopaedic and joint replacement surgeon in Navi Mumbai. Depending on the condition of the knee, patients may be considered for total knee replacement, partial knee replacement or robotic-assisted knee replacement.
The recommended procedure depends on the extent of joint damage, symptoms, knee alignment, overall health and individual treatment requirements.

Book ConsultationKnee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a procedure in which damaged surfaces of the knee joint are removed and replaced with artificial components.
The knee consists primarily of the lower end of the thigh bone (femur), upper end of the shin bone (tibia) and kneecap (patella). Advanced arthritis can damage the cartilage covering these surfaces, leading to pain, stiffness and difficulty with movement.
During knee replacement surgery, the damaged joint surfaces are prepared and replaced with prosthetic components designed to allow smoother movement.
The goal is to:
Knee replacement is generally considered when symptoms significantly affect quality of life and other appropriate treatments have not provided sufficient relief.
Knee replacement is not recommended solely because a person has knee arthritis.
A surgeon considers the severity of symptoms, imaging findings, functional limitations and response to previous treatment before recommending surgery.
You may be evaluated for knee replacement if you experience:
The decision should be based on a clinical evaluation rather than age or an X-ray finding alone.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is one of the most common reasons for knee replacement. Progressive cartilage loss
can cause pain, stiffness, swelling and reduced mobility.
Rheumatoid or Inflammatory Arthritis
Inflammatory joint diseases can damage cartilage and bone and may eventually affect knee function
significantly.
Post-Traumatic Arthritis
Previous fractures, ligament injuries or other significant knee injuries can lead to arthritis and
progressive joint damage.
Advanced Knee Deformity
Severe bow-legged or knock-kneed alignment associated with joint damage may contribute to pain and
functional limitations.
Failed Previous Treatment
Some patients continue to experience significant symptoms despite medicines, physiotherapy,
injections or previous procedures.
Your surgeon will determine whether knee replacement is appropriate after reviewing your symptoms, examination and imaging.
The type of knee replacement depends on how much of the joint is damaged.
These terms describe different aspects of knee replacement and are not always mutually exclusive. For example, a patient may undergo a total knee replacement using robotic assistance.
| Type | What It Means | Generally Considered When |
|---|---|---|
| Total Knee Replacement | Damaged surfaces across the affected knee are replaced | Arthritis affects multiple compartments |
| Partial Knee Replacement | Only the damaged compartment is replaced | Disease is limited to a suitable compartment |
| Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement | Technology assists surgical planning and execution | Robotic assistance is clinically appropriate |
Your surgeon will determine the most appropriate combination based on your knee condition.
The exact procedure varies according to the type of knee replacement and the patient's anatomy. A typical treatment pathway includes:
Joint Robo follows a structured approach to knee replacement treatment, beginning with diagnosis and patient assessment before selecting the appropriate surgical option.
The treatment pathway may include:
The goal is to select the appropriate treatment for the individual patient rather than automatically recommending one type of knee replacement.
Knee replacement outcomes depend on more than the implant or surgical technology. The surgeon's experience, appropriate patient selection, surgical planning, hospital infrastructure and rehabilitation all contribute to the treatment journey.

When appropriately indicated, knee replacement can help improve quality of life by addressing pain and functional limitations caused by advanced joint damage.
Potential benefits include:
The outcome varies between patients and depends on factors such as pre-operative mobility, overall health, implant selection, surgical technique and rehabilitation.
The cost of knee replacement surgery in Navi Mumbai can vary depending on the type of procedure, implant, hospital, room category and individual medical requirements.
| Type of Knee Replacement | Approximate Cost |
|---|---|
| Total Knee Replacement | ₹2.5–₹5.5 lakh per knee |
| Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement | ₹3.5–₹7 lakh per knee |
| Partial Knee Replacement | ₹2.5–₹5 lakh per knee |
These figures should be treated as indicative estimates rather than a fixed Joint Robo quotation.
The final cost may vary depending on:
Depending on the hospital and package, the treatment estimate may include:
Patients should confirm the exact inclusions and exclusions with the hospital before scheduling surgery.
The actual cost can only be determined after evaluating the patient's condition and deciding which type of knee replacement is appropriate.

Contact Joint RoboRecovery after knee replacement takes place gradually. The timeline can differ depending on age, general health, muscle strength, pre-operative mobility and participation in rehabilitation.
First Few Days
Patients typically focus on:
Weeks 1–4
Rehabilitation focuses on improving:
A walker, stick or other support may be used temporarily depending on recovery.
Weeks 4–12
Patients generally progress to more independent walking and
strengthening exercises as advised by their treating team.
Three Months and Beyond
Functional improvement can continue for several months.
Low-impact activities may be gradually introduced after medical clearance.
Your surgeon and physiotherapist will provide individual guidance on exercise, driving, work and other activities.
Knee replacement is a commonly performed orthopaedic procedure, but like any major surgery, it has potential risks.
Possible complications include:
Pre-operative medical assessment, appropriate surgical planning, infection-prevention protocols, early mobilisation and follow-up can help manage potential risks.
Your surgeon will discuss the risks relevant to your individual health before surgery.
Preparing for surgery can help support recovery.
Your medical team may recommend:
Follow your surgeon's specific instructions because preparation requirements differ between patients.

Knee replacement is not complete when the surgery ends.
Recovery involves a combination of:
Following the recommended rehabilitation programme can help patients gradually regain strength and confidence in the operated knee.
If knee pain is limiting your walking, sleep, work or everyday activities, an orthopaedic assessment can help determine whether you need knee replacement or whether another treatment may be more appropriate.
