A full knee resurfacing procedure for advanced arthritis, performed with precision robotic-assisted technique to help you move with confidence again.
Total knee replacement, at a glance.
A quick summary of what the procedure involves, who it's for, and what to expect — from recovery to cost.
Total knee replacement resurfaces the whole knee joint using Dr. Unmesh Chakraverty's MISSO robotic system, relieving pain from advanced arthritis affecting multiple parts of the knee. Recommended for patients whose arthritis has not responded to conservative treatment. Recovery to daily activities typically takes 6 to 12 weeks. Total cost varies by implant and hospital stay, confirmed during consultation.
ABOUT THE TREATMENT
A Smarter Approach to Total Replacement
Total knee replacement resurfaces all three compartments of the knee joint, relieving pain from arthritis that has spread across the whole joint rather than one part. Using 3D imaging and the MISSO robotic system, Dr. Unmesh creates a personalised surgical plan and executes it with sub-millimetre precision. The result is better alignment, a more natural-feeling knee, and long-lasting relief from advanced arthritis.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your Questions, Answered
What is total knee replacement?
Total knee replacement resurfaces all three compartments of the knee joint with prosthetic components, relieving pain from advanced arthritis that affects the whole joint rather than just one part.
How is this different from partial knee replacement?
Total knee replacement resurfaces the entire joint, while partial knee replacement (UKR) treats only one damaged compartment and preserves the rest. Total replacement is used when arthritis affects multiple parts of the knee.
Is this performed robotically?
Yes, Dr. Unmesh performs total knee replacement using the MISSO robotic system for precise, personalised implant positioning. You can learn more about the robotic-assisted technique on our dedicated page.
How long does the surgery take?
Total knee replacement typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. Pre-operative 3D imaging and robotic guidance help streamline the procedure and enhance intra-operative safety and precision.
When can I walk after surgery?
Most patients stand and walk with assistance on the same day or within 24 hours of surgery, as part of a structured rapid recovery protocol.
How long is the recovery period?
Initial recovery for routine household activities takes 2 to 4 weeks, with most patients resuming driving and normal activity within 6 to 12 weeks and continuing to improve for several months.
How long is the hospital stay?
Most patients stay in hospital for 2 to 4 days after surgery, depending on recovery progress and individual health factors, before being guided through a safe discharge plan.
Am I a candidate for total knee replacement?
Candidacy generally depends on the extent of arthritis, ongoing pain despite conservative treatment, and its impact on daily life. Dr. Unmesh will confirm suitability through examination and imaging.
How long does the implant last?
Modern implants placed with robotic precision can last 20 to 25 years or more with proper care, as accurate alignment helps ensure optimal joint load distribution over time.
What if I only have arthritis in one part of my knee?
If your arthritis is confined to one compartment, partial knee replacement or another preservation option may be more suitable. Dr. Unmesh will discuss the right option for your specific knee during consultation.
