When it comes to expert joint replacement surgery, Dr. Akash Khaira is a trusted name. With extensive experience and a focus on patient-centered care, Dr. Khaira specializes in Total Knee Replacement, utilizing advanced techniques such as robotic-assisted surgery and minimally invasive arthroscopy.
Dr. Khaira is dedicated to helping patients regain their independence and enjoy an active lifestyle. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the details of total knee replacement, its benefits, and why Dr. Akash Khaira is considered a top choice for knee replacement surgery.
Total Knee Replacement (TKR), also known as total knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or worn-out knee joint with an artificial implant. It is typically recommended for individuals suffering from severe arthritis or joint degeneration that limits their ability to perform daily tasks.
The procedure involves:
Making a precise incision to access the knee joint.
Removing the damaged portions of the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone).
Shaping the bone surfaces to fit the artificial components.
Placing a prosthetic implant made of medical-grade metal and plastic.
Resurfacing the kneecap, if necessary, and closing the incision.
The goal is to restore smooth joint function and eliminate pain, enabling patients to walk, climb stairs, and enjoy improved mobility.
Several conditions can lead to knee degeneration and necessitate knee replacement, including:
Osteoarthritis – The most common reason, caused by cartilage wear and joint inflammation.
Rheumatoid Arthritis – An autoimmune condition that damages the joint lining.
Post-Traumatic Arthritis – Develops after a serious knee injury like a fracture or ligament tear.
Knee Fractures – Can alter joint structure and lead to long-term wear and tear.
Knee Instability – Caused by repeated injuries or ligament issues, leading to abnormal stress on the joint.
You may be a candidate for total knee replacement if you experience:
Persistent, severe knee pain even at rest
Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or performing daily activities
Knee stiffness and reduced range of motion
Failed response to medications or physical therapy
Deformities or instability in the knee joint
Past surgeries that didn’t resolve knee issues
Dr. Akash Khaira will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if TKR is the right option for your condition.
The procedure includes several stages:
Incision – A precise cut is made to access the knee.
Bone Preparation – Damaged areas are removed and reshaped.
Implant Placement – Metal and plastic components are securely fixed to restore the joint.
Patellar Resurfacing – Optional step to enhance kneecap movement.
Closure – The incision is stitched and dressed.
Dr. Khaira ensures every procedure is customized to the patient’s anatomy using the latest technologies for improved accuracy and outcomes.
| Factor | Total Knee Replacement | Non-Surgical Options |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Relief | Significant and long-term | Temporary or partial |
| Function | Restored joint mobility | Limited improvement |
| Outcomes | Durable and effective | Less predictable |
| Satisfaction | High patient satisfaction | Varies greatly |
While non-surgical approaches like physiotherapy and medication can provide relief, TKR is often the definitive solution for advanced joint damage.
Pain Relief: Elimination of chronic joint pain
Increased Mobility: Improved movement and independence
Better Functionality: Easier walking, standing, and bending
Long-Term Relief: Implants last 15–20+ years
Improved Quality of Life: Engage in social, recreational, and daily activities comfortably
Psychological Uplift: Regaining mobility often boosts mental well-being
Recovery is tailored to each patient but generally follows this timeline:
Hospital Stay: 2–4 days under close observation and care
Rehabilitation: Begins immediately with a guided physiotherapy program
Assistive Devices: Use of walker, cane, and eventual return to unaided walking
Daily Activities: Resume light tasks in 3–6 weeks
Full Recovery: Up to 6 months for complete strength and range of motion
Dr. Khaira works closely with each patient through the recovery process to ensure optimal results.
While complications are rare, they can include:
Infection
Blood clots
Implant loosening
Nerve or blood vessel damage
Persistent stiffness or discomfort
Dr. Akash Khaira uses meticulous surgical techniques, high-quality implants, and stringent safety measures to minimize these risks.
Total Knee Replacement offers long-term relief but may not last a lifetime, especially for younger or very active individuals. On average, implants last 15–20 years. Follow-up care, healthy habits, and proper physical activity can extend implant life significantly. If needed, revision surgery is an option to maintain joint function.
Preparation steps include:
Medical Evaluation: Comprehensive health check-up and tests
Medication Review: Adjustments to your existing medications
Pre-Surgery Exercises: To strengthen surrounding muscles
Home Setup: Make your recovery environment safer and easier to navigate
Support System: Arrange for help during the initial weeks of recovery
