I have visited Dr. Anurag Awasthi at Kimaya Healthcare as my mother was having severe pain in her knees and not able to walk without support. After diagnosis Doctor observed that her knees are completely damaged. He suggested knee replacement for both knees. He explained each and everything related to surgery very clearly so that me and my mother understood things clearly. He motivated at every stage before and after successful surgery for recovery. On second day of surgery mother was standing on her foot. Today on 21st April 2026, after 2 weeks of surgery she is walking without support and feeling no pain.

Thank you so much Dr. Awasthi for taking care of my mother Mrs. Ramrati Ahlawat and helping her in speedy recovery post total knee replacement surgery. We had so many doubts about her condition but you helped clear all our doubts and also made us analyze her recovery stages well. Not just pre hospitalization and during hospitalization but you have met the patient and helped post hospitalization as well. I’m quite grateful to have you as my doctor. Thanks a ton. God bless you.

Do I need a Knee Replacement Operation & What is the Right Age for surgery ? How can we delay Knee Replacement Surgery ?
Knee replacement is required for advanced arthritis of the knee joint, producing painful limitation of movements and restriction in activities of daily living.
We always strive to avoid knee replacement surgery in people younger than 65 yrs of age for two reasons-
1) Knee Replacement implants can survive well for a period of 15-18 yrs; thereafter many such patients will need a revision surgery. Patients undergoing knee replacement after 65 yrs usually do not need second surgery.
2) Up to 75 -80% patients under 65 yrs of age with Gr 3 or 4 stage arthritis have responded very well to Intraarticular injections particularly PRP & GFC therapy or lubricant ( Sodium Hyaluronic Acid).
This method has helped our patients delay knee replacement surgery. Steroid injections should be avoided at all times.
Proper care of knee joint in young adults 25-45 yrs with early treatment of Sports Injuries / Cartilage damage using biological treatments can help majority patients avoid Knee Replacement Surgery.
Knee Replacement is an elective procedure, and should only be offered to patients after all conservative treatment options have failed.
What are the different types of Knee Replacement & which is best for me ?
Knee replacement can be total or unicondylar, depending on the number of compartments involved. Among the total knee replacement, there are two popular designs- Cruciate Retaining, and Posterior Stabilized. The decision for the design is best taken by the operating orthopedic surgeon based on the integrity of ligaments. Patella resurfacing as a routine is a debatable subject. Some surgeons replace it; some don't.
If I have Pain in Both Knee joints, Should I go for both knee replacements together or single ?
Bilateral knee replacement in the same sitting, can be performed if both the knee joints are damaged to the same extent, however the medical condition of patient, and bone quality must be kept in consideration.
Recovery after single knee replacement takes approx. 3 weeks; both knee replacement take about 2 months for good recovery.
In case of Heart conditions or uncontrolled Diabetes mellitus or Kidney/ Liver damage, we advocate knee replacement in stages to minimize risk to the patient.
When can I start walking after Knee Replacement ?
Knee Replacement patient start standing or walking from the next day of surgery.
After a unilateral knee replacement, most patients can resume community ambulation within approximately 3-4 weeks, and start office after 6 – 8 weeks.
In a Bilateral Knee replacement, patients attain community ambulation status after an average of 10-12 weeks (approximately 3 months).
In our practice, most of the patients are able to walk without support approximately 3-4 weeks after surgery.
What are the risks in a knee replacement surgery ? Is it safe ?
The most significant risks include Infection, Deep vein thrombosis, and Aseptic loosening of implants. The risks correlate with the co-morbid medical condition, and must be discussed with the patient before surgery. Adequate information and precautions help in significantly reducing risk of complications.
Overall, Knee Replacement is considered successful in > 95 % of patients.
How much is blood loss during & after knee replacement surgery ?
All knee replacement surgeries are performed under tourniquet control; so there is almost no blood loss during surgery. After operation a drain is inserted to remove any collected blood from the joint. Routine use of Tranexamic acid injection significantly reduces the post surgery blood loss.
Most of our Single Knee replacement patients do no need any blood transfusions. For those undergoing a simultaneous both knee replacement surgery, we keep 1 unit of blood as standby, and use it only when absolutely necessary.
How much time is required in knee replacement surgery, and how long patient stays in hospital ?
A single knee replacement takes approximately 90 min- 2 hours. Both knee replacement surgery takes approx. 3- 4 hours.
Patients normally require hospitalization for 3 days in single knee replacement, and up to 5 days in both knee replacement surgery.
How do we control Pain during & after surgery ?
We routinely do knee replacement surgery under Combined Spinal & Epidural anesthesia. It not only provides adequate pain control during surgery, but also helps with faster painless recovery. Additional options including a Adductor Catheter and dermal patches have helped our patients maintain good mobility starting next day of surgery.
What precautions we need to take after knee replacement ?
Due to placement of a foreign implant inside the body, patients should always get a medical opinion in case of any suspicion of infection elsewhere in body, and a proper antibiotic prophylaxis before planned surgical procedures, or even a dental procedure.
