Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
Total knee replacement in Mysore at Manipal Hospital Mysore is performed to relieve long-standing knee pain caused by advanced arthritis and joint damage. The procedure replaces worn joint surfaces with carefully selected implants that restore alignment, stability, and smooth movement. Led by experienced arthroplasty surgeons, knee replacement surgery in Mysore helps patients return to comfortable walking, improved mobility, and a better quality of life through structured rehabilitation and follow-up care.
How It Works
At Manipal Hospital Mysore, total knee replacement begins with thorough pre-surgical planning to understand joint damage, limb alignment, and patient lifestyle needs. The surgery is usually performed under spinal or regional anaesthesia, allowing faster recovery and good pain control. Through a carefully planned incision, damaged cartilage and bone surfaces of the knee are removed while preserving healthy structures wherever possible.
The thigh bone and shin bone are reshaped with precision so the artificial components fit securely and move naturally. Depending on bone quality and activity level, implants are fixed using medical cement or press-fit techniques. In some cases, the knee cap surface is also treated to improve movement and comfort. Advanced tools such as computer navigation or patient-specific guides help surgeons achieve accurate alignment and balance.
Before completing the procedure, stability and knee movement are checked thoroughly. Surgery usually takes around one to one and a half hours. Physiotherapy begins soon after surgery, helping patients stand and walk early while protecting the new joint.

Frequently Asked Questions
Total knee replacement is recommended for advanced arthritis causing ongoing pain, stiffness, deformity, or difficulty walking when medications, injections, and physiotherapy no longer provide relief.
Cemented implants are suitable for most patients and offer reliable fixation. Cementless implants may be considered for younger, active individuals with good bone quality.
In many cases, important ligaments are preserved to maintain natural movement. Implant choice depends on joint stability, deformity, and the condition of surrounding tissues.
Most patients walk with support within days, progress to independent walking within weeks, resume driving around six weeks, and return to normal routines in about three months.
Modern knee implants commonly last fifteen to twenty years or more. Longevity depends on surgical accuracy, body weight, activity level, and adherence to rehabilitation advice.
