About Simplified Knee Joint Replacement Clinic

SIMPLIFIED TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT (STKR )

 Technique Sparing Bone & Structures

by H.A.Khawaja, MD, Specialist Plastic Surgeon

Traditional knee replacement surgery has been proven to be highly successful at alleviating pain and restoring mobility. However, rehabilitation after traditional surgery can be lengthy and painful. People often postpone knee replacement, not wanting to be away from work and everyday activities for months. Others are concerned about bigger incisions.

Recently, Dr H A Khawaja has introduced STKR technique, which spares bones and all structures within the knee joint. Knee joint Replacement is carried out naturally and without the use of artifical implants, which can have a number of serious implications in certain group of individuals.

The benefits of STKR Technique include:

  • No trauma to muscles and tendons—the quadriceps tendon and muscles are avoided rather than cut through or manipulated
  • Smaller, less disruptive incisions—3 to 5 inches versus 8 to 12 inches
  • Quicker recovery
  • No General Anesthesia
  • No blood loss
  • No pain
  • No hospital stay

As with every surgery, the results of the “mini total knee” depend on the patient’s personal circumstances, including a variety of factors, such as weight, activity level, bone quality, and compliance with the physical therapy program.


The Knee 

The knee works as a hinge, joining the femur (thigh bone) to the tibia (shin bone). Cartilage acts as a cushion between the bones, preventing them from grinding directly against one another. Muscles and tendons connect the bones and keep the joint stable. In a healthy knee, all of these factors work together seamlessly.

The STKR Technique:

The surgery is performed under “Khawajas Simplified Knee Anesthesia”, using highly specialized instruments. Special guides and instruments allow the procedure to be done utilizing the smaller incision discussed earlier. STKR total knee joint replacement is carried out. Once the surgeon has completed this procedure, the incision is closed.

The surgery usually takes less than 1 hour. No drains are used and the incision is covered by a sterile bandage.

Post-operatively, there is some degree of operative swelling, which subsides quickly. A rehabilitation program is begun in the hospital, as soon as possible following the surgery. Immediately after surgery, the patient is helped to stand; within the first 24 hours, the patient begins walking, usually using a walker. A home exercise program and physical therapy will then be prescribed. Follow-up visits with the surgeon are scheduled within the first one to two weeks after the surgery.

Within weeks of the surgery, most patients are able to walk with a cane or with no support at all. Some patients are even able to resume most normal activities (other than driving) within seven to ten days after surgery. Of course, these recovery times vary with each individual.

The goal of a successful total knee replacement is to relieve pain and stiffness and allow a return to normal daily activities. However, of course, there are still some restrictions—contact sports or activities that put excessive strain on the knee are not allowed. The surgeon and his staff give clear guidelines to each patient, and following these are in the patient’s best interest.

She is now completely pain-free, is not taking any medicines for pain and can walk swiftly for long

5 50 Orthopaedist Consultation

I searched the internet and on whatclinic, and I found this amazing clinic and treatment for damaged and painful knee joints. My mother had suffered from Arthritis of Knee Joints for over 15 years. Her walking was becoming more and more difficult and quite painful. She had completely rejected the idea of total knee replacement with metallic prosthesis since one of her friends had this operation and she almost died and ended up with severe complications leading to a disability for the rest of her life.

We found out that Simplified Knee Joint Replacement is a simplified natural knee replacement without cutting of bones, joints or articular cartilage or ligament removal. It is a procedure under local anaesthesia and is walk-in walk-out surgery. We had a Free detailed consultation on phone and later visited the clinic. We were quite satisfied since no major intervention was involved and restoration of damage of the knee joints naturally was the aim. My mother underwent the procedure on both knee joints. It took around 1 hour and 15 minutes for both joints and she was quite comfortable during the procedure.

Afterwards, she was able to go home walking though with less weight bearing. Weight-bearing and normal walking were restored completely at the start of the third week.

She is now completely pain-free, is not taking any medicines for pain and can walk swiftly for long distances. We are highly grateful to Dr H A KHAWAJA and the staff of Simplified Knee Joint Replacement Clinic for the such wonderful treatment. We strongly recommend Simplified Knee Joint Replacement Clinic and Dr H A KHAWAJA !

I was very satisfied, since it was a simple procedure

Knee Replacement

I was suffering from Osteoarthritis and Painful Knee Joints for years. I had been suggested Knee Replacement by three Orthopaedic Surgeons; however, I have personal experience of one of my close relatives having severe complications from metal knee joints.

I was referred by one of the doctors to Simplified Knee Joint Replacement Clinic. I had a detailed phone consultation and later personal consultation. I was very satisfied, since it was a simple procedure, without damage to knee joints. I underwent surgery from Dr. H A Khawaja Simplified Knee Joint Replacement Surgeon. It took around 1 hour under local anaesthesia and I was able to go home walking. I avoided weight bearing on the surgical side for about 2-3 weeks. After 3 weeks, I was able to walk normally.

I have become completely pain free after my operation and I am no longer using any kind of medicines for pain or knee joints. I am extremely satisfied with my procedure and I strongly recommend anyone considering Knee Replacement, to have a natural knee replacement from Simplified Knee Joint Replacement Clinic and to avoid metal joints and any possible complications.

I am completely pain-free now and not taking any medications for pain

4.5 50 Orthopaedist Consultation

I am writing this review for the benefit of all those suffering from osteoarthritis of joints. About one and a half year ago, I underwent simplified knee joint cartilage replacement of my both knee joints by Dr.H.A.Khawaja, under local anesthesia.

I am completely pain-free now and not taking any medications for pain. A few months back, I underwent Regenerative Injection Therapy of my joints progressively of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, ankle, lower vertebral joints, and small joints of my hands and feet. I had two sessions for these joints after an interval of 6 weeks. There is considerable improvement in my stiffness and pain. It is a non-invasive therapy with highly desirable results.

I sincerely recommend Dr.H.A.Khawaja and Simplified Knee Joint Replacement Clinic for Knee Joint Cartilage Replacement and Injections treatment for Arthiritis of Joints.

I am pain-free for almost 1 year now after this treatment

5 50 Orthopaedist Consultation

I am a known patient of osteoarthritis, and I am suffering from painful and swollen knee joints for years. I received 2 sessions of injection treatment from Simplified Knee Joint Replacement Clinic, and I am pain-free for almost 1 year now after this treatment. The dose of my medications has been reduced considerably. It is a good treatment for those individuals who would like to wait more for simplified knee joint cartilage replacement, which is also a simple procedure in local anaesthesia and can be done at a later stage.

I am very happy with my results

Knee Replacement • Paid: Rs 700000

I have undergone simplified knee joint replacement quite recently of my both knees and I am very happy with my results since I am no longer having any pain or swelling in my knee joints. I must appreciate that the procedure is simplified and is performed with extreme care. It took only 1 hour for my knee joint. I was given a knee bandage and I was able to go home walking. There was no bleeding, final results were seen in about 3 weeks. As compared to complicated conventional knee joint surgery, this option is quite simple, with permanent life long results and there are no complications. After some 3 weeks, I underwent the operation for my second knee joint. Dr.Khawaja is expert in this surgery in local anaesthesia. I strongly recommend Simplified Knee Joint Replacement Clinic and Dr.Khawaja. I advise all those interested in knee joint replacement / repairing to have it from this clinic and avoid the complicated metal joint surgery.

I am now very happy with my results since I am pain-free

5 50 Orthopaedist Consultation

I have been suffering from painful and swollen knee joints for a long time. I had a facelift from the sister clinic of SKJR clinic a while ago, CSSC International + and I am very happy with the results. I came to know that knee joint replacement is being carried out in a very simplified manner in local anaesthesia. I had a long consultation with the doctor and I was examined thoroughly.

All of my questions were answered to my satisfaction. I underwent the procedure of a single knee, my right knee joint and it was quite painless. I was awake during the procedure and it was done quite professionally. There was no bleeding during or after the procedure since none of my bones or structures was damaged, the repair was carried out naturally exactly as I was told and no metal joints were used. The procedure was over in about 40 minutes and I was able to go home walking. After some 3 weeks, I decided to go ahead also with my left knee joint and again it was a repeat of the previous procedure.

I am now very happy with my results since I am pain-free and swelling of my joints has also disappeared. I highly recommend anyone considering knee replacement to have it from Simplified Knee Joint Replacement Clinic, since joint damage is repaired naturally without metal joints, which can have at times severe complications, and recovery is quickest and fastest with this natural knee replacement.
