Knee & Hip Replacement in Nashik
Discuss treatment for advanced joint damage with Dr. Kunal Dhurve at Arthrocare Orthopedic Center. When pain, stiffness and restricted movement continue to affect everyday life despite appropriate non-operative treatment, joint replacement may be considered. Your consultation will assess your symptoms, examination, imaging, overall health and goals.
Understanding Your Options and Recovery
Knee Replacement
Damaged knee joint surfaces are replaced with artificial components. The appropriate procedure depends on the pattern of joint damage and your individual assessment.
Hip Replacement
Damaged parts of the hip’s ball-and-socket joint are replaced with artificial components. Suitability is assessed according to your diagnosis, symptoms and overall health.
Planning Before Surgery
Preparation includes medical assessment, discussion of the procedure and planning for help at home. Bring your previous imaging, treatment records and current medication list.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Recovery varies between patients. Walking aids, exercises and physiotherapy may be needed, with progress reviewed during follow-up. Return to work and other activities depends on your recovery and the demands of those activities.
Benefits, Limitations and Risks
The aim is to reduce pain and improve function, but results vary. Risks include infection, blood clots, stiffness, dislocation and implant-related problems. Your consultation will explain the risks relevant to the proposed procedure and your health.
