Joint Replacement — Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs joint replacement surgery?
Joint replacement is recommended when severe arthritis, joint damage from injury, or chronic pain limits daily activities and conservative treatments (medication, physiotherapy, injections) no longer provide relief. Common candidates have advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic joint damage in the knee, hip, or shoulder.
How long is recovery after knee replacement surgery?
Most patients walk with support within 24–48 hours of surgery, are discharged in 3–5 days, and resume normal daily activities in 6–8 weeks. Full recovery and return to low-impact sport typically takes 3–6 months. Early mobilisation and structured physiotherapy at DHS shorten the recovery curve.
What is the cost of knee replacement surgery in Ahmedabad?
Cost varies by implant type (standard, high-flex, robotic-assisted), unilateral vs bilateral, and room category. DHS Multispecialty Hospital is empaneled with major insurers and TPAs and offers cashless treatment. Contact billing at +91 9081021444 for a written estimate before admission.
Is robotic-assisted joint replacement available at DHS?
Yes. DHS offers VELYS robotic-assisted knee replacement (Johnson & Johnson DePuy Synthes) — an imageless platform with no pre-operative CT scan, sub-millimetre accuracy, and the J&J Attune knee implant. Performed by Dr. Hardik Shah and Dr. Swagat Shah, who have led 15,000+ knee surgeries across multiple platforms. See the dedicated VELYS Robotic Knee Replacement page for full details, cost, and recovery timeline.
How long does a knee or hip implant last?
Modern knee and hip implants are designed to last 20–25 years in over 90% of patients. Longevity depends on implant material, patient weight, activity level, and surgical accuracy.
