Total Knee Replacement (Unilateral)
Total Knee Replacement (Unilateral) – Regain Mobility and Relieve Pain
Total Knee Replacement (Unilateral) is a highly effective surgical procedure designed to replace the damaged or worn-out surfaces of one knee joint with a prosthetic implant. It is primarily recommended for individuals suffering from severe knee pain, stiffness, or mobility issues due to conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, or knee deformities.
Procedure Overview:
During the surgery, the damaged cartilage and bone from the affected knee are carefully removed and replaced with a custom-fitted artificial joint made of durable materials such as metal alloys, high-grade plastics, or ceramics. This prosthetic implant mimics the natural movement of the knee, restoring function and significantly reducing pain.
Key Benefits:
- Pain Relief: Eliminates chronic pain caused by joint damage.
- Improved Mobility: Restores movement and enhances the ability to perform daily activities.
- Enhanced Quality of Life: Patients can return to an active, independent lifestyle.
- Longevity: Modern implants last 15–20 years or more with proper care.
Ideal Candidates:
- Persistent knee pain unresponsive to medications or physical therapy.
- Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or engaging in other physical activities.
- Significant loss of knee joint function affecting quality of life.
Recovery:
Post-surgery, patients undergo a tailored rehabilitation program that includes physiotherapy to strengthen muscles and regain flexibility. Most individuals can resume normal activities within 6–8 weeks of the procedure.
Total Knee Replacement (Unilateral) is a proven solution for those looking to move beyond knee pain and reclaim an active lifestyle. Consult with an experienced orthopedic surgeon to determine if this procedure is the right choice for you.

About The Treatment
Unilateral total knee replacement, also known as single-knee replacement, is a surgical procedure in which only one knee joint is replaced. This procedure is typically recommended for patients who have severe knee arthritis or damage in only one knee that significantly impacts their quality of life by causing pain and limiting mobility.
Procedure Overview:
- Surgical Technique: The procedure involves removing the damaged cartilage and bone from the surfaces of the knee joint and replacing them with artificial components. These components usually consist of a metal femoral component that covers the end of the thigh bone, a metal tibial component that covers the top of the shin bone, and a plastic spacer that sits between these metal parts to provide a smooth gliding surface.
- Advantages:
- Targeted Treatment: Focuses on the knee that is damaged, leaving the healthy knee untouched.
- Quicker Recovery: Patients typically experience a faster and often easier recovery compared to bilateral knee replacement, as they can rely on their untreated knee during rehabilitation.
- Less Invasive: A single knee replacement involves less time under anesthesia and a potentially lower risk of complications than procedures involving multiple joints.
- Recovery: Recovery from unilateral total knee replacement involves physical therapy to regain knee function and overall mobility. Patients may start walking with support devices such as walkers or canes soon after surgery. Complete recovery and return to normal activities can take several weeks to months, depending on the individual’s health, activity level, and adherence to their rehabilitation program.
- Outcomes: Most patients experience significant relief from pain and improvement in joint function, which can greatly enhance their ability to perform daily activities and improve their overall quality of life.
Unilateral total knee replacement is a highly effective treatment for patients with localized knee problems, allowing them to resume an active lifestyle with reduced pain and improved joint function.
