Why choose us
Right-Timing Guidance
We confirm whether surgery is needed now or if conservative care can still help.
Planned, Not Rushed
Knee replacement is approached as a planned decision with clear phases.
Structured Recovery Protocol
Assisted walking may begin early when medically appropriate, with rehab planned around safety and function.
Checklist: Is it time for surgery?
- Pain wakes me up at night.
- I avoid stairs completely.
- Medicines or injections are no longer enough.
- My legs are becoming bowed/bent.
If two or more apply, book a clinical review. Surgery is decided after examination, standing X-ray, health review, and your goals - not by a checklist alone.
If replacement is being planned, we also discuss:
- Home stairs, bathroom setup, and first-week movement.
- One family member or attendant for hospital and home support.
- Old standing X-rays, prescriptions, and medical reports.
- Fitness assessment and an individual surgery estimate prepared by the clinic.
Who will assess my knee, and where do I start?
Start with an orthopedic consultation with Dr. Himanshu Gaur at A-98, CR Park, South Delhi. The OPD consultation fee is Rs. 1000. Bring existing X-rays, prescriptions, and other relevant reports; a family member can join the discussion.
The visit is for assessment and a treatment decision. You can discuss a previous recommendation or seek a second opinion. Request a knee review by call, WhatsApp, or the callback form; the clinic team confirms the appointment time.
How are hospital arrangements and surgery costs discussed?
If knee replacement is recommended, surgery is arranged at Apollo Spectra Hospital, Chirag Enclave, New Delhi. Consultations take place at the CR Park clinic.
Our clinic prepares estimates based on the proposed treatment. The consultation fee is not a knee-replacement package price. Contact the clinic about an estimate for your case.
When should I consider knee replacement?
Knee replacement is usually not an emergency, but advanced arthritis should not be ignored when daily life is clearly affected. If night pain, stair pain, walking limits, deformity, and daily limitation continue despite proper treatment, and standing X-rays show advanced arthritis, then surgery becomes a reasonable option.
If function is still manageable and the knee is stable, non-surgical care may continue. If the knee is getting more deformed, giving way, or sleep and walking are badly affected, delaying too long can make recovery harder.
How do you confirm the need for knee replacement?
We examine you ourselves. Then standing X-ray. Usually MRI is not needed. We match your pain, your walking, and your X-ray before advising surgery. Tests are kept focused on what changes the decision.
Can knee arthritis improve without surgery?
Some patients improve without surgery when arthritis is early or moderate and daily function is still acceptable. Don't panic when a report says 'wear and tear' - this is common after 50. After examination and standing X-ray review, the plan may include exercise, brace, pain control, or injection when suitable.
If standing X-rays show advanced arthritis and daily life is still stuck despite proper non-surgical care, knee replacement should be discussed clearly rather than delayed only out of fear.
What happens during knee replacement and recovery?
We move toward replacement when persistent pain, clear functional limitation, and imaging show advanced arthritis with alignment changes. If stairs, basic walking, or sleep remain limited after a proper trial of non-surgical care, surgery becomes reasonable.
Knee replacement resurfaces worn joint surfaces so movement is easier and pain reduces.
Recovery Milestones
- 1
Hospital phase.
Assisted standing and walking begin when medically appropriate.
- 2
Early home phase.
Wound review, indoor walking, and range-of-motion work.
- 3
Later rehab.
Driving, stairs, light work, and longer walks as strength returns.
Recovery is phased: early walking, then strength and range of motion, then endurance, balance, and routine activities such as stairs and longer walks. Consistent rehab makes the difference.
When waiting needs a fresh review.
Delaying surgery can sometimes prolong pain, increase stiffness, or allow deformity to progress. We review timing against your function, X-ray, strength, and overall health.
What is the next step for knee replacement?
Bring your old reports. Bring one family member. We will review everything together and tell you clearly: continue non-surgical care or plan surgery. Clear plan on day one.
FAQs
Is it too early for knee replacement?
It can be. We look at function, pain pattern, and imaging together. If daily life is still manageable with conservative care, it is reasonable to wait. This is a common concern we hear in South Delhi.
How soon can I walk?
Most patients begin assisted walking in the hospital, but pace depends on pain control, balance, and overall health.
Will I need physiotherapy after knee replacement?
Physiotherapy supports recovery after knee replacement. At our CR Park clinic, a dedicated physiotherapy specialist provides rehabilitation under Dr. Gaur's supervision, with exercises matched to your recovery stage.
What if I am too young or too old?
Age alone is not the decision. We weigh bone quality, activity needs, and how much the knee limits your life.
Do I need an MRI before knee replacement?
Usually no. Weight-bearing X-rays and the clinical exam are enough in most cases.
