Joint Replacement Surgery

Joint Replacement Surgery, also known as joint arthroplasty, is a procedure performed to replace a damaged or worn-out joint with an artificial implant. It is commonly recommended for patients experiencing severe joint pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, or joint deformity caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic injuries, avascular necrosis, or advanced joint degeneration.

Your Care Journey

We believe in complete transparency. Here is what you can expect at every step of your procedural journey with our specialized medical team.

Before Surgery

Before surgery, the orthopaedic surgeon performs a detailed evaluation to determine whether joint replacement is the most suitable treatment. This may include a physical examination, X-rays, MRI or CT scan, blood tests, and an ECG. Patients are advised to follow fasting instructions, inform the doctor about medications, stop blood-thinners if advised, control diabetes, and arrange assistance for recovery.

Day of Surgery

The patient receives general or spinal anaesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision over the affected joint, removes the damaged cartilage and bone, and prepares the remaining healthy bone to receive the artificial implant. The prosthetic joint is carefully positioned to restore proper alignment and movement, and secured with or without bone cement. The incision is then closed.

Post Surgery

After surgery, the patient is monitored until anaesthesia wears off. Early movement and physiotherapy begin soon after the procedure. Patients are advised to take prescribed medications, attend regular physiotherapy sessions, keep the surgical wound clean, avoid heavy lifting, and attend follow-up appointments.
