When to Consider PCL Reconstruction
Unlike ACL tears, minor isolated PCL tears can sometimes be managed non-operatively. However, complete tears (Grade III) or multi-ligament injuries causing chronic instability require surgical intervention.
Dr. Vikrant uses a strong tendon graft (autograft or allograft) to replace the torn PCL. Using custom-angled drilling guides and surgical video monitoring, the graft is fixed securely inside the joint, restoring posterior stability and protecting joint cartilage from wear.

Pre-Operative Preparation & Clinical Evaluation
A successful orthopaedic outcome starts with meticulous planning. Prior to scheduling any procedure, patients undergo a thorough medical evaluation, including cardiac clearances, complete blood profiles, and tailored joint imaging.
3D Anatomical Mapping
CT scans or high-res MRIs are loaded into the computer software to pre-plan bone cuts and implant size before entering the theatre.
Pre-Hab Exercises
Mild quadriceps and core strengthening exercises are recommended to build muscle tone, which speeds up postoperative recovery.
Post-Operative Rehabilitation & Recovery Pathways
Rehabilitation is a critical phase of recovery. Following surgery, Dr. Vikrant Sinha Roy's team coordinates with clinical physiotherapists to execute structured post-op exercises, facilitating joint mobilization, restoring gait patterns, and strengthening surrounding muscle groups.
Phase 1: Mobilization (Week 1-2)
Focus on wound healing, swelling management, and walking with support.
Phase 2: Strengthening (Week 3-6)
Transitioning to walking independently, climbing stairs, and building muscle flexibility.
Phase 3: Functional Restoration (Week 6+)
Returning to normal daily work, traveling, and light recreational sports.
Patient Success Stories
"After suffering from severe knee osteoarthritis for years, I decided to consult Dr. Vikrant for robotic knee surgery. I walked with support within 24 hours! His empathy, clear explanation of the process, and post-op physiotherapy coordination were outstanding."
— Subrata Chatterjee, 64, Kolkata
"I was diagnosed with bone-on-bone knee arthritis and was terrified of surgery. Dr. Vikrant explained how the robotic surgery would align my joints precisely. Post-surgery, the pain was minimal, and I am back to climbing stairs without any discomfort."
— Minati Sen, 69, Ballygunge
Knee Treatment FAQs
Most patients stand and walk with a walker within 24 hours of surgery. You can typically return to light activities and driving by 3 to 6 weeks, and full independent mobility is achieved within 2 to 3 months.
Yes, robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery is covered by health insurance policies, subject to your policy terms and TPA pre-authorization. Cashless desk support is available at Manipal Hospitals.
High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) is a joint-preserving surgical technique where the shin bone is realigned to shift pressure away from the damaged side of the knee. This is ideal for active patients with early-stage osteoarthritis.
