Dec 16, 2019
Knee pain has become a widespread concern in India, especially among individuals aged 60 to 65 years. Sedentary lifestyles, obesity, and age-related degeneration of joints contribute significantly to this growing problem. When conservative treatments such as medications, physiotherapy, and injections fail to provide relief, knee replacement surgery emerges as a highly effective solution to restore mobility and quality of life.
Types of Knee Replacement Surgeries
At Metro Hospital Faridabad, we offer advanced surgical options tailored to the patient’s specific needs:
Partial Knee Replacement: Only the damaged portion of the knee joint is replaced, preserving healthy bone and tissue.
Total Knee Replacement: The entire knee joint is replaced with a high-quality prosthesis to relieve pain and restore full function.

Top Benefits of Knee Replacement Surgery
Significant Pain Relief
Knee replacement surgery offers significant relief from persistent joint pain caused by conditions like arthritis or injury. Patients often report immediate and dramatic improvements in pain levels—whether during walking, standing, sitting, or resting.
Improved Mobility and Daily Function
Knee pain can severely limit one’s ability to move & perform daily tasks. Post-surgery, patients often regain the ability to walk longer distances, climb stairs, and return to their normal lifestyle with minimal discomfort.
