Joint Replacement Surgery India

If you suffer from osteoarthritis in your knees, shoulders, hips, or ankles and these joints have worn down to the point where they are causing you pain, then you might want to consider Joint Replacement Surgery. Joint replacement surgeries of all types have excellent success rates, and patients can expect nearly full recovery of the movement of the joint. You might be eligible for Joint Replacement Surgery if you fit the following criteria.


  • You have pain associated with osteoarthritis in your hip, ankle, knee, or shoulder. 
  • You have difficulty moving any of these joints in a specific way 
  • You have sustained an injury to one of these joints, and it is no longer functioning or causing you extreme pain.
While replacement surgeries are fairly common and have an excellent success rate, patients should be reminded that it is major surgery. As such, there can be complications that can arise either from the surgery or from post-operative care. These can include infection, rejection of the graft, dislocation of the joint, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and nerve damage. In addition to these risks, there are some risks common to all surgeries. These can include heart attacks, strokes, and embolisms. You should not have Joint Replacement Surgery if:
  • You are unhealthy, in that you have recently recovered from a major illness or surgery 
  • You have a serious heart condition. 
  • You have any kind of infection of any kind. 
  • The pain and immovability of the joints are at all preferable to the risks of major surgery.
Once you have decided to go through with your Joint Replacement Surgery, you could have a full or partial joint replacement, depending on the condition of the joint and the integrity of the remaining bone. You could have titanium, ceramic, or compound joint, but this would depend on the surgeon performing the procedure. After your operation, you can expect a few days of hospitalization followed by a few weeks of keeping weight off the joint. After this several months of strength and endurance training could be necessary. Dr. Bharat Mody is one of the Best Joint Replacement Surgeon in India and Best Knee Surgeon in Vadodara, Gujarat.
