Best Orthopedic Doctors for Knee Pain Treatment in Chennai, Tamil Nadu

You may be a candidate for knee replacement if you suffer from severe knee pain that limits daily walking or stair climbing, chronic rest or night pain, significant joint stiffness, bowleg or knock-knee deformity, and poor response to medications, injections, or physical therapy.

Total knee replacement (TKR) resurfaces all three compartments of the knee joint (medial, lateral, and patellofemoral). Partial (unicompartmental) knee replacement replaces only one diseased compartment, preserving healthy native bone, cartilage, and cruciate ligaments for a faster, more natural-feeling recovery when arthritis is isolated to a single compartment.

Most patients begin standing and walking with a walker within 24 hours of surgery. Independent walking without support typically occurs within 3 to 6 weeks, driving resumes by 6 weeks, and full functional recovery with maximal joint strength is achieved within 3 to 6 months of structured physiotherapy.

With modern high-flexion titanium and cobalt-chromium implants paired with highly cross-linked polyethylene inserts, over 90% to 95% of knee replacements continue functioning smoothly beyond 20 to 25 years.

Orthopedic OPD consultations on NectarPlus Health range from a few hundred rupees upward.
