Total/ Unilateral (Single) Knee Replacement

Total or unilateral (single) knee replacement is a highly effective surgical procedure designed to relieve pain and restore function in a severely diseased knee joint. This procedure involves replacing the damaged surfaces of the knee—usually caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis—with a high-grade artificial implant that mimics the natural movement of the joint.

Dr. Sabyasachi Bardhan, a specialist in joint replacement surgery, performs this procedure using state-of-the-art technologies such as 3D Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Mixed Reality navigation. These advanced tools ensure greater surgical precision, optimal implant positioning, and faster recovery times, reducing the risk of complications and improving the long-term success of the surgery.

When Is a Single Knee Replacement Recommended?

This surgery is generally advised for patients who experience:

• Severe knee pain that limits daily activities

• Chronic inflammation and swelling unresponsive to medications

• Knee deformity or stiffness

• Joint damage visible on X-rays or MRI

• Failed response to physiotherapy, medications, or injections

  The Procedure

  During surgery, the damaged cartilage and a small portion of the underlying bone are removed from the femur and tibia. These are then replaced with metal components, and a high-grade medical-grade plastic spacer is inserted between them to ensure smooth movement. The patella (kneecap) may also be resurfaced if necessary.

  Dr. Bardhan’s advanced approach ensures minimal blood loss, reduced post-operative pain, and early mobilization, enabling many patients to start walking within a day or two after surgery.

  Post-Surgical Care & Recovery

  Patients typically undergo a structured rehabilitation program with the help of physiotherapists to regain strength and flexibility. Most individuals can resume normal activities within 6–8 weeks, although full recovery may take a few months depending on overall health and adherence to post-op care
