Rapid Recovery After Total Knee Replacement

Patient: Mrs. Sunitha (Name changed for privacy)

Procedure: Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

Surgeon: Dr. Karthik Gudaru

Background: Mrs. Sunitha (Name changed for privacy), had been suffering from severe osteoarthritis in her right knee for over the years. Despite conservative management—including physiotherapy, pain medications, and lifestyle modifications—her mobility had declined significantly, and she experienced chronic pain that interfered with daily activities.

Surgical Procedure: Dr. Karthik Gudaru performed a minimally invasive total knee replacement using advanced techniques and enhanced recovery protocols. The procedure lasted approximately 90 minutes and was completed without complications.

Time Post-Surgery Milestone

  • Day 1: Independent walking with walker
  • Day 3: Stair climbing with support
  • Day 5: Discharged from hospital
  • Week 2: Walking without support indoors

Patient Testimonial: I never imagined I’d be walking just hours after surgery. Dr. Gudaru and his team gave me my life back. The care, confidence, and encouragement I received made all the difference.
