Knee Replacement Surgeon in Madurai
Jayam Hospital.

Knee replacement consultation

Knee replacement replaces damaged joint surfaces with implants to reduce arthritis-related pain and improve function in selected patients. Total knee replacement treats joint surfaces across the knee; partial knee replacement may be considered when arthritis is limited to a suitable compartment.

Evaluation includes a detailed history, examination, weight-bearing X-rays and assessment of arthritis pattern, deformity, movement, general health, medicines, home support and patient goals. Additional tests are ordered only when clinically appropriate.

Treatment and follow-up

Medication, physiotherapy, weight management, walking aids and injections may be considered before surgery in suitable cases.

Partial or total knee replacement may be discussed depending on arthritis pattern, ligament condition, age, bone quality, health and expectations. CORI robotic assistance is available for selected procedures; the surgeon remains responsible for planning and every surgical step.

The usual pathway includes pre-operative medical assessment, admission, surgery, pain control, early mobilisation, physiotherapy, wound review and follow-up. Recovery varies by health, procedure, rehabilitation and home support, so individual milestones are discussed with the treating team.
