- Surgeons: Led by Prof. Dr. Ganesh Rajeshwar (DAA Hip & Knee Specialist) and Dr. Harshil Shah (Robotic Knee & Complex Trauma Specialist).
- Technology Used: Robotic-assisted navigation for knees and the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) for tissue-sparing hip replacements.
- Average Hospital Stay: 2 to 4 days, with assisted walking beginning within 24 hours.
Signs It Is Time to Consult a Joint
Replacement Specialist
- Severe joint pain that limits everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or getting out of a chair.
- Moderate to severe knee or hip pain while resting, either day or night.
- Chronic joint inflammation and swelling that doesn’t improve with rest or standard arthritis medications.
- A noticeable bowing in or out of your leg (joint deformity).
- Failure of conservative, non-surgical treatments like NSAIDs, cortisone injections, lubricating injections, or physical therapy.
The Joint Surgery Recovery Timeline
Hospital Stay & Immediate Post-Op (Days 1-4)
You will begin physical therapy within 24 hours of your knee or hip surgery. The focus is on pain management, preventing blood clots, and basic assisted movement.
At-Home Rehabilitation (Weeks 2-6)
Transition from a walker to a cane. Physical therapy continues, focusing on range of motion and strengthening the muscles around the new joint. You can typically return to desk work and light driving by week 4.
Restoring Normalcy (Weeks 7-12)
Most patients experience a significant drop in pain and a return to normal daily activities. Low-impact exercises like swimming and cycling are highly encouraged.
Full Recovery (Months 6-12)
The joint is fully healed, and maximum strength, flexibility, and mobility are restored.

F.A.Qs
DAA is a highly advanced, muscle-sparing surgical technique where the hip joint is accessed from the front rather than the side or back. Because muscles are gently separated rather than cut, patients experience significantly less pain, a lower risk of dislocation, and a much faster return to walking.
Robotic joint replacement allows the surgeon to create a highly personalized 3D surgical plan based on your unique anatomy. The robotic arm assists the surgeon in placing the implant with micro-millimeter precision, ensuring a more natural-feeling joint and extending the lifespan of the prosthesis.
With modern robotic-assisted placement, advanced bio-materials, and exact alignment, most artificial knees and hips last 15 to 20 years. In many cases, depending on a patient’s activity level and bone health, they can last a lifetime.
You will experience expected post-operative surgical pain, but this is carefully managed with advanced multimodal pain protocols at our South Mumbai clinic. Most patients find that the debilitating, chronic arthritis pain they had before surgery is relieved almost immediately.
Most patients suffering from severe joint degeneration are candidates for minimally invasive techniques. During your consultation in Lalbaug, our surgeons will evaluate your specific condition, bone density, and medical history to determine the safest and most effective surgical approach for you.
