Types of Knee Replacement Surgery

The type of knee replacement surgery recommended for you will depend on the extent of damage to your knee joint. Your orthopedic specialist will evaluate your condition to determine the most suitable approach. Here are the main types of knee replacement procedures:

  • Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Also known as complete or full knee replacement, this is the most common procedure. It involves replacing all three compartments of the knee joint — the medial (inner), lateral (outer), and patellofemoral (beneath the kneecap). This surgery is ideal for patients with severe arthritis or widespread joint damage and is highly effective in relieving pain and restoring joint function.
  • Partial Knee Replacement (PKR): Recommended when damage is limited to one or two parts of the knee, this procedure preserves the healthy bone, cartilage, and ligaments. Partial knee replacement offers a quicker recovery, less postoperative pain, and more natural knee movement, making it a popular choice for younger or less severely affected patients.
  • Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement: An advanced technique where robotic technology is used to enhance precision during surgery. It helps surgeons place implants more accurately, potentially improving alignment, function, and recovery. This method can be used for both total and partial knee replacements, depending on the patient’s needs.
  • Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Also known as complete or full knee replacement, this is the most common procedure. It involves replacing all three compartments of the knee joint — the medial (inner), lateral (outer), and patellofemoral (beneath the kneecap). This surgery is ideal for patients with severe arthritis or widespread joint damage and is highly effective in relieving pain and restoring joint function.

    • How to Prepare for Knee Replacement Surgery?

    Preparing properly for knee replacement surgery is essential for minimizing risks and ensuring a smooth recovery. Here’s what to expect during the preoperative phase:


  • Evaluation: Medical Your doctor will perform a full physical exam to ensure you're fit for surgery, especially if you have existing health conditions.
  • Diagnostic Tests: Blood tests, ECG (to assess heart health), and imaging such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans will be used to evaluate the joint and plan the procedure.
  • Medication Review: Inform your doctor about any medications, supplements, or herbal products you're taking. Some may need to be paused or adjusted before surgery.
  • Fasting Instructions: You will be advised not to eat or drink for at least 8–12 hours before surgery, especially if you're undergoing general or spinal anesthesia.
  • Preoperative Planning: You may be guided on strengthening exercises, lifestyle changes, and setting up your home for recovery post-surgery (e.g., support bars, easy access to daily essentials).

    FAQ About Knee Replacement Surgery

    When is knee replacement surgery recommended?

    Knee replacement is advised when there is severe joint damage, often due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or injury, and when pain, stiffness, or mobility issues do not improve with medication, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes.

    How long does knee replacement surgery take?

    The surgery typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on whether it’s a total or partial replacement and any other individual factors.

    What is the recovery time after knee replacement?

    Most patients can walk with assistance within a day or two. Full recovery and return to daily activities usually take 6 to 12 weeks, with ongoing improvement for up to a year.

    Are there risks involved in knee replacement surgery?

    As with any surgery, there are risks, such as infection, blood clots, implant loosening, or stiffness, but these are rare and manageable, especially when performed by experienced surgeons.

    How long do knee implants last?

    Modern knee implants typically last 15–20 years, and sometimes longer. Maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding high-impact activities can help extend the life of the implant.

    Will I need physiotherapy after surgery?
