How do I know if I need a knee replacement?
If you have severe knee pain, advanced arthritis, difficulty walking, night pain, knee deformity, or
no relief with medications, injections, or physiotherapy, you may need knee replacement surgery.
What is the cost of knee replacement surgery?
The cost depends on hospital, implant type, robotic technology, insurance coverage, and medical
condition. A consultation is needed for exact estimation.
How long does a knee replacement last?
Modern knee implants typically last 20–30 years or longer depending on lifestyle, weight, and
follow-up care.
What is the recovery time after knee replacement?
Most patients walk within 24 hours, resume daily activities in 4–6 weeks, and recover fully in 3–6
months with physiotherapy.
What is robotic knee replacement?
Robotic knee replacement uses computer-assisted technology to help surgeons place implants with high
precision and accuracy.
Is robotic knee replacement better than traditional surgery?
It may improve accuracy and alignment, but outcomes depend mainly on surgeon experience and
rehabilitation.
Does the robot perform the surgery by itself?
No. The surgeon performs the surgery; the robot only assists with planning and precision.
When should I have ACL reconstruction surgery?
ACL reconstruction is recommended for complete tears causing knee instability, especially in active
individuals.
Can an ACL tear heal without surgery?
Partial tears may heal with physiotherapy, but complete ACL tears usually require surgery if
instability continues.
When can I return to sports after ACL surgery?
Most athletes return to sports in 9–12 months after proper rehabilitation and doctor clearance.
What is a Bankart repair?
It is an arthroscopic surgery to repair torn shoulder labrum and treat recurrent shoulder
dislocations.
Do I need surgery after a shoulder dislocation?
Surgery is not always required, but it is recommended for recurrent dislocations or persistent
instability.
Who is eligible for limb lengthening surgery?
Patients with leg length difference, deformities, post-trauma shortening, or selected cosmetic
height increase cases.
How much height can I gain with limb lengthening surgery?
Usually 5–8 cm per cycle depending on bone condition and individual assessment.
Is limb lengthening surgery safe?
It is generally safe when performed by experienced surgeons, but like all major surgeries, it
carries risks.
When do I need a hip replacement?
Hip replacement is needed in severe arthritis, fractures, avascular necrosis, or chronic pain
affecting daily life.
How long does recovery take after hip replacement?
Walking begins within a day, daily activities improve in 4–6 weeks, and full recovery takes 3–6
months.
How long does a hip replacement last?
Modern hip implants last 20–30 years or more depending on activity level and health condition.
Can I climb stairs and sit on the floor after hip replacement?
Stairs are usually possible within weeks, while sitting on the floor depends on flexibility and
surgeon advice.
Which is better: robotic or conventional joint replacement?
Both are effective. Robotic surgery improves precision, but outcomes mainly depend on surgeon
expertise.
