It is commonly recommended for patients with advanced arthritis, joint degeneration, trauma injuries, or severe stiffness affecting daily activities.

Your Questions are Answered
How much does knee replacement cost in Kolkata?
The cost of knee replacement surgery in Kolkata depends on factors such as the type of implant, hospital facilities, surgeon’s expertise, and the patient’s medical condition. A detailed consultation with Dr. Siddhant Gupta helps determine the most suitable treatment plan and estimated cost.
How long does knee replacement surgery take?
Knee replacement surgery usually takes around 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the condition and whether it is a total or partial knee replacement procedure.
What is the recovery time for hip replacement?
Most patients can resume basic daily activities within 4 to 6 weeks after hip replacement surgery. Complete recovery and improved mobility may continue over the next few months with physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
Total vs partial knee replacement — which is better?
The choice depends on the severity of joint damage. Partial knee replacement is suitable when only one part of the knee is affected, while total knee replacement is recommended for advanced arthritis involving the entire knee joint.
At what age should you consider knee replacement?
Knee replacement is usually considered when severe joint pain, stiffness, and mobility problems affect daily life and do not improve with medication or physiotherapy. It is commonly performed in patients above 50 years, but the decision depends on symptoms and joint condition rather than age alone.
