Dr. Simon Thomas apart from being a wonderful human being is also a very skilled doctor. He provides accurate treatment. Very considerate and compassionate. I have been visiting him for my mother and mother in law and he has always asked to avoid surgeries and treated with medicines wherever needed. He cured them both with medicines only and avoided any excessive tests too. Extremely grateful to him. It is rare to find such genuine doctors these days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Total Knee Replacement – the name is a misnomer. In this, we don’t remove the whole knee joint, only the damaged surfaces of bone are shaved off. The raw surface of the bone end is covered with smooth ceramic or metal lining. This surgery is actually resurfacing, rather than replacement of the knee. Sometimes, the underside of the kneecap (patella) is also reshaped and is lined by a polythene cap. This is called patella resurfacing.
If both knees are damaged, both can be replaced in the same sitting. It means one time anaesthesia, one time hospital stay, one time medicines and one time physical therapy. It means saving the cost too. Your doctor can advise you for the need of replacing both the knees simultaneously.there are certain conditions in which both knees should not be replaced simultaneously. Discuss these conditions with your doctor.
After Total Knee Replacement, a person can typically walk comfortably and his knee joint will have a good range of motion. Lot of patients are able to sit cross legged on the bed after this surgery. Its not advisable to squat or sit cross legged on the ground. If your body does not have the flexibility then do not try to forcefully bend your knees more than your tolerance limit. Your doctor will advise you on the activities that you will be able to do comfortably
