What is knee replacement?<br \/>\nKnee replacement (total knee arthroplasty) is a surgery where the damaged knee joint is replaced with artificial parts made of metal and plastic to restore pain-free movement.<\/p>\n<p>2.

Is knee replacement safe?<br \/>\nYes. With modern techniques and proper care, knee replacement is extremely safe. Complications are rare, especially when done by a trained surgeon in a well-equipped hospital.<\/p>\n<p>4. \u201cI\u2019m 65 and diabetic. Can I still get the surgery?\u201d<br \/>\nAbsolutely.

Proper pre-surgery evaluation ensures your safety.<\/p>\n<p>5. \u201cI heard the recovery is very painful and slow.\u201d Is it true?<br \/>\nThat\u2019s a myth.

What is the cost of surgery in our city?<br \/>\nIn tier 2\/3 cities like Khurja, the cost is much more affordable than metros \u2013 ranging from \u20b91.5 to \u20b92.5 lakhs depending on implant type and hospital stay.
