What is Total Knee Replacement?
Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a surgical procedure to replace the worn or damaged surfaces of the knee joint with artificial implants, relieving pain and restoring movement. It is most commonly recommended when arthritis or long-standing injury has worn down the joint enough that walking, climbing stairs, or even resting has become painful.
At Vasavi Hospitals, our orthopaedic surgeons offer both Mako Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Replacement - using 3D CT-based planning and a robotic arm for precise implant alignment - and Conventional Total Knee Replacement, a proven, time-tested technique, so every patient gets the approach best suited to their knee.
Watch out for these signs
Why Ignoring Knee Arthritis Is Risky
A worn-out knee won't fail overnight like an appendix - but every year of delay lets the damage progress further. Here's what tends to happen when advanced knee arthritis is left untreated.
Further Bone & Cartilage Loss
Once cartilage wears down to bone-on-bone contact, the joint keeps degrading - making the eventual surgery more complex and recovery slower.
Knee Deformity
Untreated arthritis often causes the knee to bow inward or outward over time, which can require more extensive correction during surgery.
Loss of Mobility & Fall Risk
A stiff, painful knee makes stairs, uneven ground and standing up from a chair increasingly difficult - raising fall risk and shrinking independence.
Muscle Weakness & Harder Rehab
The longer the knee is guarded and underused, the more the surrounding muscles waste - making eventual surgery and rehabilitation slower and tougher.
A single evaluation with an X-ray can tell you clearly how worn your knee joint is and what to do next.

Recognizing When You Need a Knee Replacement
From the classic wear-and-tear presentation to signs that something more urgent is going on - here's what to watch for.
Advanced Knee Arthritis
Persistent knee pain on walking, climbing stairs, or even at rest, that has stopped responding to medication or physiotherapy. The most common reason patients are referred for knee replacement.
Common Symptoms
Stiffness or swelling even at rest, reduced range of motion, difficulty bearing weight, and pain that disturbs sleep or limits everyday activities like squatting or sitting cross-legged.
When It May Be More Urgent
A visibly bent or bowed knee, sudden loss of the ability to walk, or bone-on-bone pain that keeps you up at night can signal advanced joint degeneration that should not wait much longer.

Your Step-by-Step Care Journey
Our experts evaluate your X-rays, symptoms and medical history. For Mako robotic surgery, a 3D CT scan maps your knee to build a customised surgical plan before anything is decided.
Under anaesthesia, the surgeon performs either Conventional or Mako Robotic-Assisted knee replacement, ensuring precision, alignment and comfort. It usually takes 1-2 hours.
Most patients walk with support within 24 hours. A short 2-3 day stay includes structured physiotherapy and pain management for a smooth start to recovery.
Gradual physiotherapy improves flexibility and strength over the following weeks. Most patients return to daily activities within 4-6 weeks, with continued improvement over 2-3 months.

Everything you need to know about total knee replacement surgery in Bangalore - answered by our specialists.
Early-stage knee arthritis is often managed with medication, physiotherapy, weight management and lifestyle changes. But once the cartilage has worn down significantly and pain persists despite these measures - especially pain at rest or at night - conservative treatment stops helping much, and knee replacement becomes the option that reliably restores pain-free mobility. Your orthopaedic surgeon can confirm which stage you are at with an X-ray.
Vasavi Hospitals in Kumaraswamy Layout, Bangalore offers both Mako Robotic-Assisted and Conventional Total Knee Replacement, backed by 40+ years of experienced orthopaedic surgeons and an in-house physiotherapy and rehabilitation unit - the part of TKR recovery most patients underestimate. It is a trusted choice for knee replacement in South Bangalore.
The cost of knee replacement varies depending on the implant type, whether it is Mako robotic-assisted or conventional surgery, and your insurance coverage.

Yes. Total Knee Replacement is covered under most health insurance plans and government schemes, including corporate group insurance, when it is medically indicated. Our dedicated insurance team checks your eligibility upfront and handles the entire cashless approval process for you.
The procedure itself typically takes about 1-2 hours under anaesthesia. Most patients walk with support within 24 hours of surgery, and a short 2-3 day hospital stay includes structured physiotherapy and pain management before you go home with a clear rehab plan.
Both deliver lasting relief from knee arthritis. The Mako Robotic System uses a 3D CT-based surgical plan and a robotic arm to help the surgeon achieve more precise bone cuts and implant alignment, which can mean less tissue trauma and a smoother early recovery. Conventional knee replacement is a proven, time-tested technique with decades of high success rates. Your surgeon will recommend the best approach for your knee.
Most patients start walking with support within 24 hours of surgery and are discharged in 2-3 days. Return to daily activities like walking, light housework and short outings typically happens over 4-6 weeks, guided by physiotherapy milestones. Full recovery, with improved strength and range of motion, generally continues over 2-3 months.
Knee arthritis is not an overnight emergency - but it is progressive. The longer a severely worn joint is left untreated, the more the knee can develop deformity (bowing), muscle weakness, and stiffness, which can make surgery more complex and rehabilitation slower. If pain is limiting your daily life despite medication and physiotherapy, earlier evaluation keeps your options - and your recovery - simpler.
