Knee Replacement Surgery in Mumbai
Total and partial knee replacement with minimally invasive techniques and computer-assisted navigation by Dr. Sunirmal Mukherjee.
Understanding Knee Replacement Treatment
Knee pain caused by arthritis, injury, or degeneration can significantly impact your ability to walk, exercise, and perform everyday tasks. When knee pain treatment through medication, injections, and physiotherapy no longer provides adequate relief, knee replacement surgery offers a proven solution.
Dr. Sunirmal Mukherjee, a highly experienced orthopaedic surgeon in Mumbai based in Bandra West, specialises in advanced knee replacement procedures. Using computer-assisted navigation and minimally invasive surgical approaches, he delivers precise, long-lasting results that help patients return to an active, pain-free life.
Whether you need a total knee replacement, partial knee replacement, or revision knee surgery, Dr. Mukherjee develops a personalised treatment plan based on your unique condition and lifestyle needs.
What is Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee replacement surgery, also called knee arthroplasty, involves removing the damaged cartilage and bone surfaces of the knee joint and replacing them with artificial implants made of metal alloys and medical-grade polyethylene. The procedure restores the smooth, pain-free movement of the joint.
In a total knee replacement, the surfaces of the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and patella (kneecap) are resurfaced. In a partial knee replacement, only the affected compartment of the knee is treated, preserving more of the natural joint.
Dr. Mukherjee uses the latest implant designs and computer-navigated techniques — a form of minimally invasive orthopaedic surgery — to achieve optimal alignment, natural movement, and implant longevity.

Benefits of Knee Replacement Surgery
Procedure Overview
Pre-operative Planning
Detailed assessment including X-rays, MRI scans, blood tests, and a thorough discussion about your health, goals, and expectations.
Anaesthesia
Surgery is performed under spinal or general anaesthesia. The anaesthesia team ensures your comfort throughout the procedure.
Accessing the Joint
A carefully planned incision is made over the knee. Damaged cartilage and bone surfaces from the femur, tibia, and patella are precisely removed.
Implant Placement
High-quality metal and polyethylene implants are fixed to the prepared bone surfaces. Computer-assisted navigation ensures optimal alignment and balance.
Closure and Early Mobilisation
The incision is closed and bandaged. Patients are encouraged to begin gentle knee exercises and walk with support within 24 hours.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
After knee replacement surgery, patients typically begin walking with a walker within 24 hours. A structured physiotherapy programme starts immediately to restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion.
Most patients can resume light daily activities within 3 to 4 weeks, drive within 4 to 6 weeks, and return to most normal activities within 3 months. Full recovery with optimal strength and function is usually achieved by 6 months.
Dr. Mukherjee provides a detailed rehabilitation plan including home exercises, physiotherapy sessions, and regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure the best possible recovery.
