What is the step-by-step process for joint replacement at Deccan Hardikar Hospital?

1. Initial Consultation — An orthopaedic specialist reviews your symptoms, medical history, and prior treatments. X-rays or MRI scans are ordered to assess joint damage.
2. Diagnosis and Surgical Planning — The surgeon determines the appropriate procedure (total, partial, or revision) and uses robotic planning software to map implant positioning with sub-millimeter accuracy.
3. Pre-operative Preparation — Blood tests, anaesthesia review, and insurance pre-authorisation are completed. The TPA desk coordinates cashless admission where applicable.
4. Surgery — The procedure is performed using minimally invasive or robotic-assisted technique. Most patients are mobilised and begin walking within 24 hours post-surgery.
5. In-hospital Rehabilitation — The in-house physiotherapy team begins a personalised recovery protocol on Day 1, targeting early restoration of strength and range of motion.
6. Discharge and Follow-up — Patients are discharged typically within 2–4 days. Structured outpatient physiotherapy and scheduled follow-up appointments support full recovery and long-term implant health.
