Knee Replacement Surgery in Nagpur — Overview
Knee replacement surgery (also called knee arthroplasty) is a procedure where a damaged or worn knee joint is replaced with an artificial implant to relieve pain and restore mobility. It is one of the most successful orthopedic surgeries worldwide and is the definitive treatment for severe knee arthritis, knee degeneration, and post-traumatic knee damage.
At Hope Hospital Nagpur, knee replacement surgeries are performed by Dr. B.K. Murali using the latest implant systems and surgical techniques, including computer-navigated alignment, minimally invasive approaches, and gender-specific implant options. Our dedicated pre-operative assessment and post-operative physiotherapy programs ensure the fastest possible recovery and the best long-term outcomes.

Types of Knee Replacement We Offer
Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
All three compartments of the knee joint (medial, lateral, and patellofemoral) are resurfaced with metal and polyethylene implants. Recommended for severe osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis affecting the whole knee. Most common and highly successful procedure.
Partial Knee Replacement (PKR)
Only the damaged compartment is replaced, preserving healthy bone and ligaments. Faster recovery, smaller incision, and more natural knee feel. Suitable for patients with unicompartmental arthritis who are not overweight and have intact cruciate ligaments.
Computer-Navigated Knee Replacement
Real-time computer guidance ensures precise implant positioning and alignment to within 1–2 degrees. Reduces risk of malalignment, improves function, and extends implant life — especially beneficial for patients with pre-existing deformities.
Revision Knee Replacement
Replacement of a previously implanted knee prosthesis that has loosened, worn out, or become infected. A complex procedure requiring specialized implants and surgical expertise. Dr. B.K. Murali performs both primary and revision knee replacement surgeries.

Dr. B.K. Murali at Hope Hospital Teka Naka is widely regarded as the best knee replacement surgeon in Nagpur. With an M.S. (Ortho) and 19+ years of experience, he uses computer-navigated and minimally invasive techniques for optimal outcomes.
Is knee replacement covered under Ayushman Bharat in Nagpur?
Yes. Hope Hospital is empaneled under Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY), MJPJAY, CGHS, ECHS, and 20+ government health schemes. Eligible patients receive total knee replacement completely free of cost. Bring your Ayushman card or health booklet to the hospital.
How long does recovery take after knee replacement surgery?
Most patients begin walking with support within 24–48 hours of surgery. Hospital stay is 4–5 days. Physiotherapy starts immediately. Return to daily activities in 6–8 weeks; full recovery in 3–6 months.
What is the difference between total and partial knee replacement?
Total knee replacement (TKR) resurfaces the entire knee joint; partial knee replacement (PKR) replaces only the damaged compartment. PKR suits unicompartmental arthritis — faster recovery, smaller incision. Dr. Murali will recommend the right type after examination.
How long does a knee replacement implant last?
Modern implants at Hope Hospital last 15–25 years. Maintaining healthy body weight, following physiotherapy, and regular follow-ups extend implant life significantly.
What are the signs you need knee replacement surgery?
Key signs include: severe knee pain limiting daily activities, pain at rest or at night, stiffness with limited range of motion, knee deformity, and failure of non-surgical treatments (physiotherapy, medications, injections) after 6+ months. A consultation with Dr. B.K. Murali will confirm if surgery is needed.
At what age is knee replacement surgery done?
Most patients are 55–80 years old, but age is not the primary factor — severity of arthritis and impact on daily life matter more. Dr. Murali has performed successful replacements in patients from 45 to 85 years. Younger patients may benefit from high-flex implants.
