What is Knee Replacement?
Knee replacement surgery replaces the worn out surfaces of your knee joint with a smooth artificial implant. It is recommended when knee arthritis causes constant pain, stiffness and deformity that no longer improve with medicines, injections or physiotherapy.
At Medsovis we offer total knee replacement, robotic knee replacement, partial knee replacement and revision surgery. Our surgeons plan every case individually, choose the right implant for your age and activity level, and explain every option in simple language before you decide.
Types of Knee Replacement Surgery
Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
Both sides of the joint are resurfaced. Best for widespread arthritis.
Robotic Assisted TKR
CT based 3D planning and robot guided cuts for accurate alignment.
Partial (Unicondylar) Knee
Only one damaged compartment is replaced. Faster recovery, more natural feel.
Bilateral Knee Replacement
Both knees in a single surgery for suitable patients. One recovery instead of two.
Revision Knee Surgery
Replacement of an old implant that has worn out or become loose.
High Flexion Knee
Implant designed to allow deeper bending for sitting cross legged and prayer.

- Severe knee pain while walking or climbing stairs
- Pain even at rest or at night
- Knee stiffness that stops you from bending or straightening the leg
