What is Knee Replacement Surgery?

Knee replacement surgery — medically called knee arthroplasty — is a procedure where the damaged surfaces of the knee joint are replaced with precision-engineered artificial components (implants) made of metal and high-grade medical plastic. The surgery restores pain-free movement and allows you to walk, climb stairs, and return to daily activities without discomfort.

There are two main types of knee replacement surgeries performed by Dr. Kunal Patel in Borivali:

Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

In a total knee replacement, all three compartments of the knee joint — medial, lateral, and patellofemoral — are resurfaced. This is the most commonly performed procedure and is ideal for patients with widespread knee damage due to advanced arthritis. Most patients experience dramatically reduced pain and improved mobility within 6–12 weeks post-surgery.

Partial Knee Replacement (PKR)

If only one compartment of your knee is damaged, Dr. Kunal Patel may recommend a partial knee replacement. This less invasive option preserves healthy bone and tissue, results in faster recovery, and often allows more natural knee movement. It is performed through a smaller incision and typically requires a shorter hospital stay than total knee replacement.

Conditions Treated at Our Borivali Knee Replacement Clinic

As a leading knee replacement specialist serving Borivali and surrounding areas, Dr. Kunal Patel treats the following conditions:

• Osteoarthritis (OA): The most common cause of knee replacement. Cartilage between the bones gradually wears away, causing bone-on-bone friction, persistent pain, swelling, and stiffness. Osteoarthritis most often affects people over 50 but can occur in younger patients too.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): An autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system attacks the joint lining, causing chronic inflammation, cartilage destruction, and severe deformity if left untreated.
• Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Arthritis that develops years after a serious knee injury — such as a ligament tear or fracture — causes the cartilage to deteriorate prematurely, leading to pain and limited mobility.
• Avascular Necrosis of the Knee: When blood supply to the knee bone is disrupted, the bone tissue dies and collapses, leading to severe joint damage that may require replacement.
• Knee Deformity: Significant varus (bow-legged) or valgus (knock-kneed) deformities that cause pain and functional disability are corrected during knee replacement surgery.

The Knee Replacement Process at Punit Hospital, Borivali

Step 1: Consultation and Diagnosis

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Kunal Patel at his Borivali clinic. He will review your X-rays, MRI or CT scans, assess your pain levels and mobility, and discuss your medical history. If knee replacement is recommended, you will receive a clear explanation of the procedure, expected outcomes, and cost — all transparently upfront.

Step 2: Pre-Surgery Preparation

About 2–4 weeks before surgery, you will undergo routine blood tests, an ECG, and a medical fitness evaluation. Custom VISIONAIRE instruments are ordered based on your imaging, and any pre-existing conditions (diabetes, blood pressure) are optimised to ensure safe surgery.

Step 3: Robotic-Assisted Surgery

The surgery is performed under spinal or general anaesthesia at Punit Hospital, Borivali West. Using the VELYS robotic platform, Dr. Kunal Patel resects the damaged bone and cartilage with robotic precision and positions the implant for optimal alignment. The procedure typically lasts 60–90 minutes.

Step 4: Physiotherapy and Recovery

Recovery begins within 24 hours of surgery — most patients walk (with support) on Day 1. A structured physiotherapy programme is tailored for each patient. Most patients return home within 3–5 days and resume light daily activities within 3–6 weeks. Full recovery and return to normal walking takes approximately 3 months.

Frequently Asked Questions — Knee Replacement Surgeon in Borivali

How do I know if I need knee replacement surgery?

You may need knee replacement surgery if you have severe knee pain that limits daily activities (walking, climbing stairs), your knee pain persists even at rest or while sleeping, medications and physiotherapy no longer provide relief, or your knee shows significant deformity. Dr. Kunal Patel will evaluate your X-rays and physical condition to give you a definitive recommendation during your consultation in Borivali.

What is the cost of knee replacement surgery in Borivali?

The cost of knee replacement surgery in Borivali varies based on whether you are having a total or partial replacement, single or both knees, and the implant brand chosen. All implants at Dr. Kunal Patel’s clinic are supplied at government NPPA-regulated prices — significantly lower than private market rates. Please call +91-9372737914 to get an accurate, transparent cost estimate for your specific case.

How long does recovery take after knee replacement?

Most patients walk with support within 24 hours of surgery. You can typically resume light daily activities in 3–6 weeks and achieve full functional recovery in about 3 months. Physiotherapy is a critical part of recovery and is guided by Dr. Kunal Patel’s team throughout the process.

Is robotic knee replacement better than traditional surgery?

Yes — robotic-assisted knee replacement offers several advantages over traditional surgery: greater precision in implant positioning (within 1mm), lower risk of post-surgery complications, reduced blood loss, less soft tissue damage, and faster rehabilitation. Dr. Kunal Patel uses the VELYS robotic system, which is among the most advanced knee replacement platforms available in Mumbai.

How long does a knee implant last?

Modern knee implants last 15–25 years or longer with proper care and physiotherapy adherence. Factors that affect implant longevity include your weight, activity level, and the precision of implant positioning — which is why robotic-assisted surgery by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Kunal Patel gives your implant the best chance of lasting a lifetime.

Can I get knee replacement if I have diabetes or high blood pressure?

Yes. Most patients with controlled diabetes or hypertension can safely undergo knee replacement surgery. Dr. Kunal Patel works closely with your physician to ensure your blood sugar and blood pressure are well-managed before surgery, reducing any anaesthesia or healing risks.
