Total Knee Replacement by Resurfacing Technique (R2R)
Total Knee Replacement Surgery, also known as Total Knee Arthroplasty, is an advanced procedure designed to restore painless movement and improve quality of life in patients suffering from severe knee arthritis or joint degeneration.
In this technique, only the damaged cartilage and worn-out joint surfaces are resurfaced with high-precision artificial implants, while preserving the natural alignment and biomechanics of the knee as much as possible.
The surgery is usually advised when persistent knee pain, stiffness, deformity, or difficulty in walking no longer improves with medicines, injections, physiotherapy, or lifestyle modification.
Modern implant philosophy such as Medial Congruent / Medial Pivot Design helps recreate more natural knee movement, stability, and patient satisfaction by closely mimicking the anatomy and motion of a healthy knee joint.

*Recovery timelines may vary depending on age, body weight, bone quality, medical condition, physiotherapy participation, and overall post-operative rehabilitation compliance.
What Makes Dr. Dhiraj Marothi Jain’s Technique Different?
The R2R (Resurfacing to Recovery) Protocol is developed to enhance recovery, improve patient comfort, and achieve more natural knee function through precision-based knee replacement surgery.
- Less post-operative discomfort compared with traditional knee replacement methods
- Shorter surgical duration, helping minimise anaesthesia exposure
- Minimal tissue handling and limited surgical exposure
- Precise resurfacing of damaged bone and cartilage while preserving natural knee mechanics
- Advanced Medial Congruent / Medial Pivot implant philosophy designed to replicate natural knee movement and stability
- Routine use of drains and urinary catheters is generally avoided in suitable patients
- Early standing and assisted walking typically initiated within 24 hours after surgery
- Lower infection risk due to reduced operative time and streamlined surgical protocol
- Faster functional recovery with many suitable patients returning to regular daily activities within approximately 15 days

Your Knee Care Journey — Step by Step
Here’s what patients can typically expect from the first consultation through recovery with the R2R Knee Replacement Protocol.
Early Consultation & Prevention
Why Early Consultation Matters
If knee pain begins at a younger age or during early arthritis, timely evaluation may help delay or even avoid surgery.
During consultation, Dr. Dhiraj Marothi Jain evaluates your lifestyle, activity level, knee condition, and long-term goals to guide the best treatment pathway.
Focus Areas Include:
- Lifestyle modification guidance
- Weight management advice
- Nutritional and joint-support supplements
- Physiotherapy and muscle strengthening
- Activity correction and knee protection strategies
Initial Evaluation
- Detailed discussion of symptoms
- Clinical knee examination
- Review of X-rays / MRI scans
- Understanding daily activity limitations and expectations
Diagnosis & Knee Assessment
A comprehensive assessment helps determine the stage of arthritis and the most suitable treatment plan.
Evaluation May Include:
- Clinical examination
- Digital X-rays
- Blood investigations
- Alignment and mobility assessment
- Functional pain scoring
Conservative Treatment & Physiotherapy
Not every patient requires immediate surgery.
Many patients benefit from a structured non-surgical treatment program aimed at reducing pain and improving knee function.
Conservative Care May Include:
- Medications and joint-support supplements
- Physiotherapy and strengthening exercises
- Walking and mobility guidance
- Activity modification
- Weight and lifestyle management
Surgery for Advanced Osteoarthritis
When arthritis becomes advanced and significantly affects walking, sleep, daily activities, or quality of life, Total Knee Replacement may be advised.
R2R Surgical Protocol Highlights:
- Procedure performed under spinal anaesthesia
- Usually no general anaesthesia or epidural required
- Precision-based resurfacing technique
- Minimal soft tissue handling
- Medial Congruent / Medial Pivot implant philosophy for natural knee movement
- Faster mobilisation protocol
Recovery & Rehabilitation
Recovery begins immediately after surgery with a simplified rehabilitation approach focused on comfort, confidence, and gradual mobility improvement.
Recovery Pathway
- Early standing and walking with support
- Day 1–15 guided physiotherapy protocol
- Simple rehabilitation plan with only a few essential exercises
- Minimal discomfort during physiotherapy in suitable patients
- Walker support generally for approximately 2 weeks
- Home-based exercise continuation
- Follow-up and video consultation support after surgery
*Recovery timelines and rehabilitation progress vary according to age, medical condition, bone quality, muscle strength, and patient compliance with physiotherapy and follow-up instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a total knee replacement last?
Modern knee implants are designed to last 15 to 20 years or more in many patients, depending on activity level, weight, implant type, and post-operative care.
Am I too old for knee replacement surgery?
Age alone is not a disqualifying factor. Suitability depends on overall health, cardiac fitness, and severity of knee damage.
Is knee replacement surgery painful?
During surgery, anaesthesia is given. Post-operative discomfort is managed with medication and rehabilitation support.
When can I return to daily activities?
Suitable patients may begin standing within 24 hours and return to light household activity within 2–4 weeks, depending on recovery.
