How to Choose the Right Surgeon for Your Knee Replacement

Deciding to have knee replacement surgery is a big step — and choosing the right surgeon is just as important as the surgery itself.

With so many options available, especially in a city like Ahmedabad, how do you know who to trust with your knees?

Here’s a simple guide to help you choose the right knee replacement surgeon — so you feel confident, safe, and supported throughout your journey.

1. Check the Surgeon’s Experience and Specialization

Look for a surgeon who:

• • Specializes in joint replacement surgeries, especially knees.

• • Performs a high number of knee replacements per year (experience matters!).

• • Is trained in modern techniques like minimally invasive surgery or augmented reality.

Pro Tip: Ask how many knee replacements they perform annually and their success rate.

2. Look for Advanced Technology

Surgeons using advanced tools like Augmented Reality (Pixee Knee+) offer:

• • Greater precision

• • Better alignment of the implant

• • Reduced chances of revision surgery

• • Faster recovery

These technologies improve both short-term outcomes and long-term implant life.

3. Read Patient Reviews and Testimonials

Nothing beats real patient feedback. Look at:

• • Google Reviews

• • Hospital website testimonials

• • Social media comments or videos

Positive stories from real patients about recovery, pain relief, and care are strong indicators of trustworthiness.

4. Evaluate Hospital Facilities

A good surgeon should operate in a hospital that has:

• • A dedicated joint replacement unit

• • Well-equipped operation theatres

• • Post-operative physiotherapy and rehab support

• • Clean, well-managed rooms and infection control

5. Talk to the Surgeon Directly

A trustworthy surgeon will:

• • Listen to your concerns patiently

• • Explain the procedure clearly

• • Show you before/after X-rays or sample implants

• • Discuss alternatives, recovery time, risks, and outcomes

You should feel comfortable and informed, not rushed or confused.

6. Ask About Recovery & Support

The right surgeon won’t just operate — they’ll guide you before, during, and after surgery with:

• • Prehab (pre-surgery exercises)

• • Detailed post-op recovery plans

• • Supportive physiotherapy team

• • Accessibility for questions or concerns

7. Compare Costs — But Don’t Choose Based on Price Alone

Knee replacement is a long-term investment in your health. A cheaper option isn’t always the best — what matters is outcomes, safety, and recovery quality.
