Knee pain affects everything. The morning stiffness that makes the first few steps the hardest. The staircase you’ve started taking one step at a time. The evening walk you’ve quietly given up. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone – and you’re not stuck with it.

At Ashutosh Hospital in Vadodara, Dr. Kunal Shah has helped hundreds of patients walk pain-free again through knee replacement surgery. Trained in joint replacement surgery in Germany and with over a decade of specialist experience, Dr. Shah brings international-standard techniques to patients right here in Vadodara – at a fraction of the cost of metro hospital care.

Types of Knee Replacement We Offer

Total Knee Replacement

For patients with advanced arthritis affecting the full knee joint, total knee replacement replaces the entire joint surface with a precision-fitted implant. Using high-flex implant systems selected for Indian patients, Dr. Kunal Shah ensures the replacement knee allows a natural range of motion – including activities that standard implants often restrict.

Most patients at Ashutosh Hospital are standing within 24 hours, walking with support by day two, and climbing stairs within two weeks.

Partial Knee Replacement (Microplasty)

When only one compartment of the knee is damaged – a common pattern in patients under 65 – Microplasty is often a far better option than total replacement. Dr. Kunal Shah is the pioneering surgeon for Microplasty in Vadodara, having introduced this tissue-preserving technique to the city.

Microplasty preserves the healthy portions of your knee, delivers a more natural feel post-surgery, and significantly reduces recovery time. Many patients return to active lives within 6-8 weeks.

Revision Knee Replacement

If a previous knee replacement has failed, loosened, or is causing pain, revision surgery may be required. This is among the most technically demanding procedures in joint replacement surgery. Dr. Kunal Shah’s advanced training and Dr. Ajay Shah’s four decades of complex case experience make Ashutosh Hospital one of the few centres in Gujarat equipped to handle revision cases with confidence.

Is Knee Replacement Right for You?

Knee replacement is not the first option – it is the right option when other treatments have stopped working. You may be a candidate if:

• Knee pain persists despite medication, physiotherapy, or steroid injections
• Pain disturbs your sleep
• You have difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair
• Your X-ray shows significant joint space narrowing or bone-on-bone contact
• Your quality of life has declined because of your knee

The best way to know is a direct consultation. Dr. Kunal Shah will give you an honest assessment – including whether you need surgery at all, or whether a non-surgical approach makes more sense for your case.
