Proprietary Surgical Protocol

The R2R Technique:
Replacement to Resurfacing

Unlike conventional knee replacement, R2R targets only the damaged portion — using a precision-designed cap to preserve natural bone structure, restore smooth movement, and enable dramatically faster recovery.

The R2R Technique is Dr. Marothi's proprietary surgical approach refined over 20+ years. It combines precision resurfacing with a Medial Congruent/Medial Pivot implant philosophy — designed to replicate the natural mechanics of the knee joint rather than simply replacing it.

Procedure Overview

What is Total Knee Replacement Surgery?

Total Knee Replacement Surgery (TKR) is an advanced orthopedic procedure designed to replace a severely damaged knee joint with durable artificial components, helping patients regain comfortable movement and an improved quality of life. The surgery is typically recommended when the knee has been significantly affected by arthritis, injury, or long-term wear and tear, making everyday activities painful and difficult.With modern surgical techniques, personalized rehabilitation programs, and high-quality implants, Total Knee Replacement Surgery is considered one of the most reliable and successful treatments for advanced knee joint disease, offering long-term pain relief, improved mobility, and a better overall quality of life.

01 — INDICATION

When is Total Knee Replacement Recommended?

TKR is advised when severe arthritis, injury, or degenerative disease affects the entire knee joint and non-surgical approaches are no longer providing adequate relief.

Advanced osteoarthritis — bone-on-bone contact
Failed physiotherapy, injections & medication
Significant impact on walking, sleep & daily life
X-ray/MRI confirming joint space narrowing

02 — TECHNIQUE

Advanced Resurfacing with R2R Protocol

Unlike conventional TKR, Dr. Marothi's R2R approach resurfaces only the damaged joint surface using a precision-designed implant cap — preserving natural bone and mechanics.

Spinal anaesthesia — no general anaesthesia typically*
Minimal soft tissue handling & limited incision
Medial Pivot implant for natural knee movement
Robotic precision for implant alignment

03 — RECOVERY

Faster Recovery — The R2R Advantage

The R2R protocol is specifically designed to minimise recovery time and get patients back to daily life as quickly and safely as possible.

Standing within 24 hours of surgery*
Home typically by Day 2*
Walker support for approximately 2 weeks
Daily activities within ~15 days in suitable patients*

* All timelines and outcomes are dependent on the individual patient's age, health status, weight, bone quality, and post-operative compliance with physiotherapy. A personalised assessment is available during consultation with Dr. Marothi Jain.

Patient Journey

Your Step-by-Step
Journey to Knee Recovery

We understand surgery can feel daunting. Here is exactly what to expect at every stage — from first consultation to walking freely again.

Day 1

Early Consultation & Prevention

Meet Dr. Marothi. Review your symptoms, imaging (X-ray/MRI), and discuss your lifestyle and goals. Even early arthritis benefits from specialist guidance — the consultation may identify ways to delay or avoid surgery altogether.

Clinical examination Imaging review No obligation to proceed

Weeks 1–2

Diagnosis & Comprehensive Assessment

Digital X-rays, blood investigations, alignment assessment, and functional pain scoring determine the stage of arthritis and whether TKR or a non-surgical approach is most suitable.

Full knee assessment Conservative options explored

If Non-Surgical

Conservative Treatment & Physiotherapy

Not every patient requires surgery. Structured physiotherapy, medication, lifestyle modification, and weight management can significantly improve function in early-to-moderate arthritis.

Modern knee implants are designed to last 15 to 20 years or more in many patients. Longevity depends on activity level, body weight, implant type, and adherence to post-operative guidelines. Dr. Marothi will discuss implant choice and realistic lifespan expectations during your consultation.

Age alone is not a disqualifying factor. Suitability is assessed based on overall health, cardiac fitness, and the severity of knee damage. Many patients in their 70s and 80s undergo successful procedures. Dr. Marothi performs a full pre-operative health assessment to determine candidacy.

During surgery you will be under spinal anaesthesia and will not feel pain. Post-operative discomfort is managed with prescribed medication and begins to reduce significantly within the first week. The R2R protocol is specifically designed to reduce post-operative pain compared to conventional knee replacement approaches.

Under the R2R protocol, suitable patients are typically standing within 24 hours and begin walking with support shortly after. Most patients are discharged within 2 days. Return to light household activities typically occurs within approximately 15 days for suitable patients. Driving and more strenuous activities are assessed at follow-up appointments.
