Advanced Knee Pain
Treatment at Bones Cure
A knee replacement is a surgical procedure that significantly reduces pain and restores knee joint mobility. It is recommended for people with severe knee damage. Our knee joint acts as a natural “hinge” with cartilage. This cartilage works as a smooth and protective cushion on the ends of the bones. When this cartilage becomes damaged, the knee bones grind against each other and cause pain, stiffness, and swelling.
At Bones Cure, Dr Waqas Javed, as a knee replacement surgeon, provides expert surgical and non-surgical knee treatment. He has more than 20 years of experience in orthopaedics and successfully performs knee replacement surgery in Lahore. Moreover, his specialized knee care team delivers reliable results by focusing on accurate diagnosis and providing the best treatment to you. Patients from all over Lahore and Pakistan choose Bones Cure for the treatment of their bone and joint problems
Warning Signs
You Should Not Ignore
Here are some of the signs and symptoms indicating you might need a knee replacement.
Persistent Pain
Difficulty in walking, standing, or resting due to constant knee pain.
Visible Swelling
Your knee joint looks puffy and inflamed frequently.
Limited Mobility
Unable to climb stairs and decreased mobility due to knee pain.
Painkiller Dependency
Chronic use of painkillers and other medications for the knee, but with limited relief.
Instability
Weakness and instability of the knees, causing problem in balance.
Losing Confidence
Daily activities, social life, and sleep are affected badly because of knee pain.
Personalized Solutions for Different Knee Problems
Not every patient needs the same type of knee replacement surgery. At Bones Cure, we choose the procedure that best fits your condition. Here are some of the common knee replacement surgeries offered at our orthopedic center in Lahore:
Total Knee
Replacement (TKR)
It is the gold standard to treat advanced arthritis. The entire damaged surface of the knee is replaced with high-grade metal and medical-grade plastic.
Partial Knee
Replacement (PKR)
Only the damaged part of your knee is replaced with an implant during surgery. The surrounding healthy bone and ligaments are preserved. It leads to faster recovery as compared to total knee replacement. It is best for older or less active individuals.
Bilateral Knee Replacement
This surgery replaces both of the damaged knees. It could be simultaneous, in which both knees are replaced under one anaesthesia. It could also be staged, in which two surgeries are performed, usually months or weeks apart. Highly recommended for patients who have severe arthritis in both knees.
Revision Knee Replacement
It is recommended for patients whose previous implants have worn out or failed. It is a complicated surgery and requires an expert surgeon. Dr Waqas uses his UK training to restore the function of the damaged joint once again.
Minimally Invasive
Knee Replacement
It is a surgical approach in which an orthopaedic surgeon makes a small incision and performs the surgery at the knee joint. It is recommended for younger patients with good muscular tone and less bone deformity. This advanced surgical procedure is preferred because it involves less blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and quicker early recovery.
Robotic-Assisted
Knee Replacement
It is a knee replacement procedure in which modern medical technology tools are used that assist the orthopaedic surgeon while performing knee surgery. It improves the accuracy and precision of the implant placement.
High Flex Knee Replacement
This knee replacement surgery involves placing specialized implants that enable the knees to bend more. Best results are achieved on patients with good muscle tone. Moreover, patients who follow post surgery care properly benefit more from this surgery.
Healing Step by Step
Toward a Pain-Free Life
Patients after a knee replacement surgery stay in the hospital for a short period of time, but the care starts right after surgery. The patient is encouraged to walk within 24 hours of surgery, and physiotherapy is guided afterwards. The initial light and gentle exercises are performed by an experienced physiotherapist to “wake up” your muscles and ensure your new joint moves smoothly. In the initial stages of recovery, a walker is used by the patient, and the patient’s mobility improves gradually. Within 6 weeks, patients see significant recovery if they follow doctors advise and take care of themselves.
Understanding If You
Are the Right Candidate
Knee replacement is a highly successful procedure for a wide range of patients. You are eligible for knee joint replacement if:
- If you are more than 50 years of age (though younger patients with severe damage are also treated).
- For diabetic patients, this surgery can be performed if their blood sugar is well-controlled
- Your blood pressure and heart conditions must be medically managed before a knee replacement surgery.
- When non-surgical treatments like medicines, physiotherapy, and injections fail to treat your knee problems.
- Physiotherapy after surgery is essential for the knee replacement success, so the patient must be motivated to follow post surgery care.
- You must be medically fit for surgery.

What to Expect During Recovery
After a successful knee replacement surgery from Dr. Waqas, the recovery timeline looks as follows:
Immediate Recovery (0–2 Weeks)
You will use pain medication to relieve pain. The wound at the surgery site starts to heal, and you will be encouraged to walk with assistance. Following the doctor's advice is very critical for quick recovery.
Early Recovery Phase (2–6 Weeks)
You will be able to do simple tasks such as walking and other life activities. The physiotherapy plan continues, and you see a visible improvement in mobility.
Mid-Term Recovery (6–12 Weeks)
The knee pain is significantly reduced, and you can easily walk independently, drive your car, and start returning to normal life.
Full Recovery Phase (3–6 Months)
You are fully recovered and can return to low-impact sports like swimming or cycling. You feel confident because your knee joint is no longer affecting your daily life.
However, the factors affecting recovery time include age, health, physiotherapy commitment, and lifestyle.
