The Recovery Process After a Muscle Sparing Knee Replacement Surgery and the MyGoodKnees Advantage
Knee pain can be frustrating — it affects mobility, independence, and even confidence. For those suffering from severe arthritis or chronic knee pain, Knee Replacement Surgery can be truly life-changing. But what makes recovery faster, smoother, and more comfortable is the Muscle Sparing Knee Replacement Surgery — especially when performed under the MyGoodKnees Protocols by Dr. Abhishek Bhalotia at United Superspeciality Hospital, Gondia.
This blog explains what the recovery process after a Muscle Sparing Knee Replacement looks like, and how Dr. Bhalotia’s MyGoodKnees approach ensures global-standard outcomes with unmatched precision and care.
What is Muscle Sparing Knee Replacement?
In simple terms, Muscle Sparing Knee Replacement Surgery is a technique where the surgeon replaces the damaged knee joint without cutting the major thigh muscles. Instead, the muscles are gently separated and preserved, which leads to minimal tissue trauma, lesser pain, and faster rehabilitation.
When combined with Robotic Assistance, this surgery allows millimeter-level precision, ensuring perfect alignment, balance, and stability of the knee implant.
As Dr. Abhishek Bhalotia, one of Central India’s leading robotic joint replacement surgeons, puts it —
“Our goal is not just to replace the knee joint but to help patients return to their normal lives faster — pain-free, confident, and active.”
The Recovery Timeline After Muscle Sparing Knee Replacement
One of the biggest advantages of this advanced technique is how fast the recovery process is compared to conventional knee replacement surgeries.
Here’s what a typical recovery journey looks like under Dr. Bhalotia’s MyGoodKnees Protocols:
Within 6 Hours After Surgery:
Patients start walking with minimal support — yes, that early!
Because the muscles are not cut, there’s far less pain and stiffness, allowing for immediate mobilization.
Within 24 Hours:
Most patients are able to walk independently, visit the restroom, and perform basic movements confidently. The hospital stay is usually short — just about 1–2 days.
Within 1–2 Weeks:
Swelling reduces significantly, and patients can resume daily household activities.
Physiotherapy focuses on improving flexibility, muscle tone, and gait correction.
Within 4–6 Weeks:
Patients usually regain 80–90% of normal mobility.
They can walk outdoors, climb stairs, and even resume low-impact exercises like cycling or yoga.
Long-Term (3 Months and Beyond):
Full strength and stability return gradually. Most patients report pain-free movement, improved balance, and enhanced quality of life.
