Total Knee Replacement

Knee replacement surgery is otherwise known as knee arthroplasty and is only pursued in severely damaged or diseased knees. The surgery is most often performed for advanced stages of osteoarthritis.

In this procedure, the damaged parts of the kneecap, shin, and thigh bones are removed and replaced with a high-grade prosthesis made of various polymers, plastics, and metals. The result is greatly reduced pain and much-improved mobility.

Key points to note

Almost All patients who have Undergone Total knee Replacement
Experts expect knee replacement surgeries to total 3.5 million annually by 2030 – a growth rate of almost 700%.
Total knee arthroplasty is widely acknowledged to be one of the most successful procedures in orthopaedic practice.

Hip Joint Replacement

Hip replacement is a surgical procedure to replace a worn out or damaged hip joint with an artificial joint.
Conditions that can damage the hip joint, sometimes necessitating hip replacement surgery, include:

Osteoarthritis – Commonly known as wear-and-tear arthritis, osteoarthritis damages the slick cartilage that covers the ends of bones and helps joints move smoothly.
Rheumatoid arthritis – Caused by an overactive immune system, rheumatoid arthritis produces a type of inflammation that can erode cartilage and occasionally underlying bone, resulting in damaged and deformed joints.
Osteonecrosis – If there is inadequate blood supply to the ball portion of the hip joint, the bone may collapse and deform.

Spine Surgery

If you’ve struggled with back pain for any length of time, you may be wondering if spine surgery is your only treatment option. Sometimes, surgery is the only treatment.

However, there’s good news. The vast majority of back problems can be remedied with non-surgical treatments—often referred to as non-surgical or conservative therapies.

Ageing, improper body mechanics, trauma and structural abnormalities can injure your spine, leading to back pain and other symptoms such as leg pain and/or numbness or even leg weakness. Chronic back pain is a condition that generally requires a team of health professionals to diagnose and treat.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does recovery and rehabilitation take?

Generally patients have to spend maximum 3 to 5 days in the hospital after hip replacement surgery. Full recovery takes about 3 to 6 months; however, it depends on the type of surgery, your overall health, and your own participation in the success of your rehabilitation.

How long do I have to exercise?

Please remember that you make your joint move around. The target is to have a good strength in the patient to allow for desired walking and other activities. For this a scheduled and proactive exercise schedule should be followed.

When will I be allowed to drive after my surgery?

You can drive a four wheeler 4-8 weeks after surgery and only after consulting your surgeon.

Can people with diabetes, high blood pressure or heart trouble undergo joint replacement surgery?

A person with diabetes, hypertension or heart conditions can undergo joint replacement surgery. However, diabetes and blood pressure must be under control before surgery.

Does one require walker or stick support after joint replacement surgery?

Yes, one requires external support aids for 3-6 weeks after the operation. These walking aids are discarded in due course of time once muscle control improves.

What is the average time taken for joint replacement surgery?

The average time taken for the joint replacement surgery is one hour. However it takes about three hours for the patient to come out of O.T.

How long would the artificial joint last?

An artificial joint can last for 15 years, on an average. However, the life span is affected by the weight of the person and by his activities. An overweight person or a person actively involved in sports can wear out the artificial joint quicker than a thin or a more sedentary person.
