Frequently Asked Questions

Modern knee implants last 15–20+ years in 90% of patients. Both Indian and imported implant brands offer excellent durability. Longevity depends on activity level, weight and surgical technique.
Yes — bilateral TKR is safe in medically fit patients. Single anaesthesia, single hospitalisation and faster overall rehab. Saves ₹50,000–₹1,50,000 compared to two separate surgeries.
Modern multimodal pain management — spinal block, nerve block, local infiltration, oral medications — ensures most patients have minimal pain. By Day 3–4 pain is well controlled with oral medications.
