Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Your Questions. Our Expertise. Honest, science-backed answers.

Answers you can trust
Ortho & Surgery1. How do I know if I need knee replacement surgery?
You may need knee replacement if pain limits daily activities, you experience night pain or stiffness, and X-rays show severe arthritis or deformity. Our doctors evaluate clinical findings and imaging before recommending surgery — never by default.
Ortho & Surgery2. What’s the difference between partial and total knee replacement?
Partial Knee Replacement: Replaces only one damaged compartment, preserving natural bone and ligaments.
Total Knee Replacement: Replaces the entire joint surface for advanced arthritis.
Your doctor will decide based on the extent of damage and lifestyle needs.
Ortho & Surgery3. What is robotic knee replacement and how is it better?
Robotic knee replacement uses digital mapping and robotic guidance for precise implant positioning. Benefits include better alignment, more natural feel, potentially longer implant life, and quicker recovery.
Ortho & Surgery4. How long will my knee or hip implant last?
Modern implants are highly durable — most last 15–20 years or more, depending on activity levels, weight, and bone health.
Ortho & Surgery5. When can I walk after surgery?
Most patients walk within 24–48 hours post-surgery under supervision. Our integrated physiotherapy ensures safe, early mobility.
Ortho & Surgery6. Is knee or hip replacement painful?
With modern anesthesia and pain-control techniques, pain is well-managed. Mild discomfort during rehab is expected but steadily improves.
Ortho & Surgery7. What is the cost of joint replacement surgery?
Total Knee Replacement: ₹2.5 lakh per knee
Robotic Knee Replacement: ₹3 lakh per knee
Total Hip Replacement: ₹2.5 lakh per hip
Includes surgery, implants, and post‑op physiotherapy.
Ortho & Surgery8. How long will I stay in the hospital?
Most patients are discharged within 2–4 days post-surgery. Recovery continues through guided rehab, at the centre or at home.
Ortho & Surgery9. What if I’ve had a previous replacement and it’s not working well?
We specialize in Revision Joint Replacement for failed or painful implants. These procedures are complex but often restore excellent function when done at a specialized centre like ours.
Ortho & Surgery10. What are the risks after surgery?
Common risks include infection, stiffness, or clot formation — all minimized through sterile techniques, antibiotics, and early mobilization.
