Total Knee Replacement

Knee pain caused by arthritis or injury can make even the simplest activities — walking, climbing stairs, or standing — a daily struggle. Dr. Gazanfar Patel specializes in advanced Total Knee Replacement (TKR) procedures, combining precision implant technology with minimally invasive techniques to relieve pain and restore full functional mobility.

Whether you are suffering from end-stage osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, or post-traumatic knee damage, Dr. Patel's expertise ensures a tailored surgical plan focused on long-term outcomes and rapid recovery.

Modern Techniques & Surgical Options

1. Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty

Using advanced robotic platforms such as the Stryker Mako System, robotic knee replacement delivers 3D pre-operative planning and precise real-time intraoperative guidance for optimal implant alignment.

Benefits: Superior implant positioning, accurate limb alignment, reduced soft tissue damage, and improved implant longevity.

2. Computerized Navigation-Assisted Surgery

Navigation technology provides real-time feedback on bone cuts and implant alignment, ensuring millimeter-level precision without the need for intramedullary rods.

Benefits: Reduced blood loss, preserved bone stock, and lower risk of fat embolism.

3. Unicompartmental (Partial) Knee Replacement

For patients with arthritis confined to one compartment of the knee, a partial replacement preserves healthy bone and ligaments, delivering a more natural feel post-surgery.

4. Gender-Specific & High-Flex Implants

Customized implant selection based on patient anatomy and activity demands, including high-flexion designs that allow near-normal bending of the knee for active lifestyles.

Conditions Treated

Osteoarthritis: Degenerative wear of knee cartilage causing chronic pain and stiffness.
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Inflammatory joint disease leading to progressive cartilage and bone destruction.
Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Knee joint damage following fractures, ligament injuries, or meniscal tears.
Varus/Valgus Deformities: Severe bow-leg or knock-knee deformities requiring corrective joint reconstruction.
