Frequently Asked Questions
Answers reviewed by our consultants. For anything personal, call or WhatsApp us.
How long does a knee replacement last?
Modern knee implants commonly function well for 15 to 20 years or more when surgery is well aligned and rehabilitation is completed. Your surgeon will discuss implant choice and realistic expectations for your age and activity level.
When can I walk after joint replacement?
Most patients stand and walk with support within 24 to 48 hours of surgery. A structured physiotherapy programme then rebuilds strength and range of motion over the following weeks.
Is partial knee replacement better than total?
Partial replacement suits patients whose arthritis is limited to one compartment of the knee. It preserves more natural tissue and recovers faster, but it is only appropriate for carefully selected cases. An X-ray review will show which option fits you.
Does insurance cover joint replacement at Mahika Hospital?
The hospital has a dedicated insurance desk offering cashless TPA assistance for leading private health insurance and corporate policies. Bring your policy details and the team will verify coverage before admission.
At what age should a knee be replaced?
There is no fixed age. Replacement is considered when arthritis pain limits daily life despite medication and physiotherapy, whatever the age. Younger patients may be offered joint preserving options first, while fit patients in their 80s can still safely benefit.
How painful is knee replacement surgery?
Modern anaesthesia, nerve blocks and multimodal pain protocols keep discomfort well controlled. Most patients are surprised that they can stand and take steps with support within a day or two of surgery.
How long is the hospital stay for a joint replacement?
Typically three to five days, depending on your recovery and home support. Physiotherapy starts in hospital and continues after discharge with a structured programme.
What precautions are needed after hip replacement?
For the first weeks you avoid extreme bending, crossing the legs and low chairs, use a raised toilet seat, and follow the physiotherapist's movement guidance. Most people walk unaided and return to normal routines within six to twelve weeks.
What happens if my old implant loosens or fails?
Revision joint replacement replaces worn or loosened components and restores stability. It is more complex than the first surgery, so bring all previous surgical records and implant details to the consultation for planning.
Is spine surgery always needed for sciatica?
No. Most disc related sciatica settles with medication, targeted physiotherapy and time. Surgery is considered for persistent severe pain, progressive weakness or numbness. You will always be offered the conservative path first when it is safe.
