How Dr. Dhanraz Gopal Restores Lives, One Joint at a Time

Living with chronic knee pain can feel like carrying an invisible weight every day. Climbing stairs, walking to the market, or even sleeping comfortably becomes a challenge. For many patients, especially those suffering from severe arthritis or joint degeneration, a total knee replacement is not just a medical procedure — it’s the chance to live again.

Precision and Trust in Knee Replacement Surgery

In Mauritius, Dr. Dhanraz Gopal, orthopaedic and trauma surgeon, is widely respected for his expertise in knee replacement surgery. With over 30 years of surgical experience and international training, his work reflects both technical excellence and a deep commitment to patient wellbeing.

What You See in This X-ray — And Why It Matters

The X-ray above shows a successful total knee arthroplasty (TKA) — a full replacement of the damaged knee joint using a high-precision prosthesis. The image reveals:

  • A perfectly aligned femoral component (upper leg)

  • A stable tibial baseplate and stem (lower leg)

  • A well-seated patellar surface (kneecap area)

  • No signs of post-operative complications (such as implant loosening or misalignment)

This kind of result reflects meticulous surgical planning, deep anatomical knowledge, and precise execution — qualities that define Dr. Gopal’s approach.

What Is Total Knee Replacement?

Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a procedure that involves replacing the damaged surfaces of the knee joint with artificial components (prostheses). It is recommended when:

  • Pain persists despite medication and physiotherapy

  • Movement becomes restricted due to stiffness or deformity

  • Everyday life is severely impacted by joint degeneration (often from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis)

In skilled hands, this surgery restores stability, mobility, and comfort — often within just a few months.
