Microplasty: The Future of Knee Replacement in Vadodara
Knee pain can significantly impact your quality of life—limiting your mobility, disrupting your routine, and keeping you from the activities you love. For many, total knee replacement has long been considered the solution. But at Ashutosh Hospital in Vadodara, we are leading a new era in knee care with a groundbreaking technique called Microplasty.
Spearheaded by Dr. Kunal Shah, the pioneer of Microplasty in Vadodara, this advanced, minimally invasive procedure is transforming the way we approach knee replacement—offering more precision, faster recovery, and long-lasting results compared to traditional or even robotic total knee replacement.
What is Microplasty?
Microplasty is a highly advanced form of partial knee replacement that targets only the damaged portion of the knee joint, rather than replacing the entire knee. Unlike conventional methods that may involve removing large portions of healthy bone or ligaments, Microplasty is bone-preserving, ligament-sparing, and designed to retain as much of your natural knee structure as possible.
This patient-centric approach is especially beneficial for:
Early- to mid-stage arthritis
Medial (inner) or lateral (outer) compartment damage
Younger or active individuals seeking a faster return to activity
Why Choose Microplasty Over Robotic Total Knee Replacement?
While robotic total knee replacement may sound appealing due to the “robotic” precision, it still involves removal of the entire knee joint, which can lead to more trauma, longer recovery, and higher chances of long-term complications.
Here’s how Microplasty stands out:
✔ More Precision, Less Invasion
Microplasty uses highly advanced targeting and navigation tools to focus only on the worn-out section of the knee, preserving healthy tissue. The result? A more natural-feeling knee with enhanced joint stability.
✔ Less Trauma
Smaller incisions, minimal disruption to surrounding muscles and ligaments, and preservation of your native knee result in less blood loss, reduced pain, and quicker healing.
✔ Faster Recovery
Many patients start walking within hours after surgery and are discharged in just one to two days—far faster than the typical recovery time of full knee replacements.
✔ Lower Risk of Complications
Because the procedure is less invasive and more conservative, patients face a lower risk of infection, joint stiffness, blood clots, or long-term implant failure.
A Patient-Centric Revolution in Knee Care
Microplasty is not just a surgical procedure—it’s a philosophy built around your comfort, safety, and lifestyle. At Ashutosh Hospital, every aspect of your care is tailored to ensure an optimal experience, from diagnosis to recovery.
▶ Natural Knee Function
By preserving the knee’s natural ligaments, especially the crucial ACL and PCL, Microplasty maintains native joint mechanics, helping your knee feel more “normal” after recovery.
▶ Minimal Pain & Swelling
With less tissue disruption and precise surgical planning, Microplasty results in dramatically reduced postoperative discomfort, allowing you to resume gentle movement almost immediately.
▶ Shorter Hospital Stay
Unlike traditional knee replacement surgeries that may require 4–5 days of hospitalization, Microplasty patients are usually up and walking within hours and discharged in 1–2 days.
▶ Long-Lasting Results
Modern implants used in Microplasty are built to withstand high-performance demands and have a long lifespan, especially when combined with good post-op care and physiotherapy.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for Microplasty?
You might be eligible for Microplasty if you:
Have knee pain mainly on one side (medial or lateral)
Are active but suffering from early osteoarthritis
Want a faster recovery with less disruption to daily life
Are too young for a full knee replacement and want to preserve bone for future options
Even if you’ve been told you need a total knee replacement, it’s worth seeking a second opinion from a Microplasty expert, especially if your arthritis is localized and not yet widespread.
