Minimally Invasive Knee Surgery: A Modern, Patient-Centered Approach
Experience quicker recovery and less pain with advanced surgical methods that use smaller incisions and precision tools
Minimally invasive technique in replacement surgery is a highly advanced technique that allows orthopaedic surgeons to operate using much smaller incisions and less tissue disruption. With this approach, patients enjoy:
Less post-operative pain
Smaller scars
Faster recovery time
Lower risk of infection
Shorter hospital stays
Why Minimally Invasive Technique is recommended for Knee and Hip Replacement
As a Joint replacement specialist in Delhi, Dr. Priyavrat Kailey specializes in minimally invasive surgical technique. With over 20 years of experience and a 99% success rate, Dr. Kailey combines surgical precision with muscle-sparing techniques that reduce trauma and speed up recovery.
Unlike conventional knee surgery, which involves large incisions and extensive muscle cutting- Comparatively smaller, well-planned incisions are applied and specialized instruments are utilized to ensure minimal damage to surrounding tissues.
Benefits of Minimally Invasive Technique
Minimal Muscle Disruption – Preserves the muscle from incisions and damage, enabling faster functional recovery
Smaller Incisions – Usually just 3–5 inches, resulting in quicker wound healing and smaller scar
Rapid Mobilization – Most patients start walking within 24 hours
Lower Risk of Infection & Less Blood Loss – Due to reduced tissue handling and shorter operative time
Shorter Hospital Stay – Many patients are discharged the same day or within 24 hours under favourable conditions
What Is Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee replacement surgery is recommended when the knee joint becomes severely damaged—most commonly due to osteoarthritis, long-term wear and tear, or injury. When pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility begin to interfere with everyday life, knee replacement by an experienced orthopaedic surgeon can help restore function and significantly reduce discomfort.
There are two primary types of knee replacement procedures: Total Knee Replacement (TKR) and Partial Knee Replacement (PKR).
Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
In a Total Knee Replacement, the orthopaedic surgeon removes the damaged or worn-out portions of the knee joint and replaces them with artificial components made from high-grade metal alloys and durable medical-grade plastic. These implants are designed to replicate the natural shape and movement of the knee, helping patients regain mobility and live pain-free.
How it works:
The damaged surfaces at the end of the thigh bone (femur) and the top of the shin bone (tibia) are carefully removed
A curved metal implant is secured to the femur
A plastic spacer is attached to the top of the tibia to enable smooth movement
Sometimes, the underside of the kneecap (patella) is also resurfaced
All parts are aligned to restore joint stability and reduce pain
Partial Knee Replacement (PKR)
In a Partial Knee Replacement, only the damaged part of the knee is replaced—usually the inner (medial), outer (lateral), or kneecap (patellofemoral) compartment. This procedure is ideal for patients whose arthritis is limited to a single area of the knee
How it works:
A small incision is made to access only the affected area
The damaged bone and cartilage are replaced with precision-fit metal and plastic implants
The rest of the knee’s healthy structures—bones, cartilage, and ligaments—are preserved
Because more of the natural knee is maintained, patients often experience faster recovery, less pain, and a more natural joint function.
Hip Replacement
Precision. Planning. Personalised Patient Care.
Dr. Kailey’s surgical planning focuses on precision implant placement and long-term knee function. Whether performing Total Knee Replacement, Partial Knee Replacement or Hip Replacment this approach ensures — accurate alignment, long-lasting joint stability, natural movement and mobility
