Knee Replacement Surgery
At Aster Hospitals, we understand that knee pain can hold you back from living your life to the fullest. Therefore, persistent knee issues/pains shouldn't be ignored, whether it’s the discomfort of walking short distances or the inability to climb stairs with ease. That is precisely where our team steps in! We offer advanced knee replacement surgery in Dubai, performed by skilled specialists who work closely with you from your first consultation to full recovery.
We combine the expertise of experienced surgeons, robotic technology, and comprehensive care under one roof. Our approach combines technical precision with genuine human care.
Our orthopaedic team includes some of the region’s most trusted names, who specialise in orthopaedics, sports medicine, and joint replacement.
At Aster Hospitals, we combine state-of-the-art technology with compassionate care. Our modern Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and operating theatres are well-equipped with advanced machines, including mechanical ventilators, patient monitors, infusion pumps, and portable imaging systems, all of which are crucial for sustaining life. Our staff is also skilled and dedicated to closely monitoring and supporting each patient’s recovery journey, ensuring you or your loved ones receive the best care possible.
At Aster Hospitals, we offer robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery, integrating advanced robotics into orthopaedic care. Using a robotic system for knee replacement offers great precision, better patient outcomes, reduced pain, faster recovery, and improved implant longevity.
Unlike other hospitals in Dubai that focus solely on surgery, we at Aster Hospitals believe recovery begins long before the surgery, and continues well after it. That's why we place equal emphasis on pre-operative and post-operative care.
Before any traditional or robotic knee replacement surgery, our team conducts detailed clinical assessments to determine any pre-existing health conditions. After the test, patients have a one-on-one consultation with their doctor to understand all available treatment options and decide what suits their needs best. Once your treatment plan is finalised, it’s tailored to your overall health and lifestyle to ensure a smoother recovery.
Our care doesn’t stop at the operating room. After surgery, our medical and rehabilitation teams stay by your side, guiding you through recovery until you are confident and ready to return to your daily routine safely.
Surgical success depends on strong aftercare. That is why our surgeons work closely with physiotherapists, pain specialists, and dieticians to provide overall recovery. They work together to reduce post-operative discomfort and to help you move confidently again.
We have helped hundreds of patients return to their everyday lives without the worry of knee pain or issues. From elderly individuals to younger adults with sports injuries, our patient stories reflect a return to active living backed by consistently positive outcomes.
Here are some common types of knee replacement offered at Aster Hospitals:
This surgical approach is used when most or all of the joint is worn out. Our surgeons remove the damaged bone and cartilage. In its place, they insert medical-grade implants that mimic the natural joint. This helps reduce pain and restore movement. It is a perfect option when both the inner and outer parts of the knee are affected.
If only one part of the joint is damaged, our surgeons opt for this surgical method. It allows our surgeons to save healthy tissue and replace only the affected portion, ensuring a faster surgery and quicker healing. Simply put, partial knee replacement surgery is often chosen for those patients who still have good joint alignment and strength in other areas.
In these procedures, our surgeons use smaller incisions and careful techniques to avoid disturbing surrounding muscles. Patients usually experience less bleeding and quicker wound healing in this treatment method.
We use robotic systems to perform highly accurate procedures.
Not all knee pain requires surgery. However, when traditional treatments fail, surgery can help restore mobility and quality of life. You may benefit from surgery if you experience the following:
We begin with clarity! Each patient meets the orthopaedic surgeon for a thorough assessment. Investigations such as X-rays or MRI scans help us evaluate the joint conditions. We also check your overall health and readiness for surgery. Post-surgery, patients are moved to a monitored recovery space. Our experienced nurses and doctors monitor your progress closely and begin gentle rehabilitation, often as early as the next day.
The recovery period is just as important as the surgery itself. Our doctors, nurses, and support staff provide full support to help you regain strength and function.
Our team of physiotherapists works directly with you during your hospital stay. They do not follow a fixed chart for each patient. They observe your daily progress and adjust exercises accordingly. Some people need help bending the knee, while others need balance training. Each individual is advised a different path based on what their body allows.
We monitor pain levels and offer medication or alternate therapies as needed. You will not be alone in this process of healing.
Our team sets realistic goals based on your age, joint health, and response to treatment. Each recovery plan includes exercise, diet tips, walking aids, and joint care suggestions. We also offer advice on management in home environments.
Our team guides you on how to better care for your new joint. We help you return to walking, working, or enjoying life as soon as possible.
We understand that financial planning is a crucial part of healthcare. Our billing team works with your insurance provider to minimise personal expenses. We also offer support with documents, approval processes, and EMI options where needed. We aim to ensure that cost is never a barrier to safe knee pain treatment.
We have received countless positive messages from patients who share how surgery helped them regain their independence and mobility. One patient shared that she was able to attend her granddaughter’s wedding just six weeks after surgery. Another resumed cycling within three months of a robotic procedure. These stories are the result of careful planning and patient commitment, supported by our strong, dedicated team providing medical guidance.
The cost depends on the type of surgery and your hospital stay. Our team will assist you with estimates and insurance support.
Recovery usually takes three to six months. Some patients resume light activities within four to six weeks.
Aster Hospitals has some of the best knee replacement surgeons in Dubai, with a high success rate and equipped to handle complex surgeries.
If your pain disrupts daily life and treatments have not worked, a consultation with our orthopaedic specialist can help decide your next step.
Total knee replacement is the process of replacing the entire joint, while partial knee replacement replaces the damaged portion of the knee. Your surgeon will advise you on one of the two based on your joint's condition.
The surgery generally takes 1 to 2 hours, followed by a short recovery and observation period.
Robotic surgery is used to improve precision, achieve better patient outcomes, and reduce recovery time.
Robotic surgery is beneficial when performed by trained teams. It adds accuracy and helps reduce recovery time.
Robotic surgery uses planning software and robotic arms. Regular or traditional surgery is fully manual. Both aim for good results.
