Overview

Joint Replacement at Eva Hospital

The aim of joint replacement is not just to replace a damaged joint, but to reduce pain, restore mobility, correct deformity where needed, and help the patient return to a more active and independent life.

At Eva Hospital, every patient is evaluated individually with clinical examination, X-rays, functional assessment, medical fitness review, and a clear discussion of whether surgery is truly required.

For suitable patients, advanced surgical planning, modern implants, robotic-assisted technology for knee replacement, careful pain-control protocols, early mobilization, and structured physiotherapy are used to support a smoother recovery.

Recognizing the Signs

When Should You Consider Joint Replacement?

Joint replacement may be considered when joint damage has become severe and non-surgical treatment is no longer giving enough relief. Common signs include:

  • Pain while walking, climbing stairs, standing, or getting up from a chair
  • Night pain or pain even at rest
  • Bowing or deformity of the knee
  • Difficulty doing daily activities independently
  • Pain that continues despite medicines, physiotherapy, injections, or lifestyle changes
  • Increasing stiffness or reduced movement
  • Limping or loss of confidence while walking
  • X-rays showing advanced arthritis or severe joint damage

Surgery is not advised only on the basis of an X-ray. The decision should match the patient’s pain, function, clinical examination, lifestyle limitation, medical fitness, and expectations.

Conditions That May Lead to Joint Replacement

Underlying Causes

  • Advanced osteoarthritis
  • Osteonecrosis of the femoral head
  • Failed previous joint replacement
  • Certain fractures around the hip in older patients
  • Rheumatoid or inflammatory arthritis
  • Post-traumatic arthritis
  • Severe deformity
  • Joint destruction following childhood or developmental disorders

Technology

Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement at Eva Hospital

For patients with advanced knee arthritis, robotic-assisted knee replacement may be considered when it is clinically appropriate. At Eva Hospital, robotic knee replacement is performed using the Johnson & Johnson VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution.

The robotic system helps the surgeon assess the patient’s knee anatomy, alignment, deformity, bone cuts, implant positioning, and ligament balance during surgery. The surgeon remains fully in control of the procedure, while the technology supports greater precision and personalization.

Robotic knee replacement is not required for every patient. Dr. Tanveer Bhutani advises it only after evaluating the patient’s symptoms, X-rays, deformity, mobility, expectations, and medical condition.

Hip Replacement

Hip Replacement Surgery

Hip replacement is considered for patients with advanced hip arthritis, avascular necrosis, or fracture-related hip damage, when pain and stiffness significantly affect walking, sitting, standing, or daily activity.

The damaged hip joint surfaces are replaced with an artificial implant, chosen and positioned based on the patient’s bone quality, activity level, and anatomy, with the goal of restoring pain-free movement.

When a Previous Implant Fails

Revision Joint Replacement

Revision joint replacement is surgery performed when a previous knee or hip replacement has developed a problem such as implant loosening, instability, infection, wear, stiffness, or persistent pain.Revision surgery is more complex than a first-time joint replacement and requires careful evaluation of the cause of failure, bone quality, and implant options before planning the procedure.

Assessment Process

How Dr. Bhutani Evaluates a Patient for Joint Replacement

  • Detailed history and clinical examination
  • Weight-bearing X-rays of the affected joint
  • Review of pain, deformity, mobility, and daily limitations
  • Assessment of previous non-surgical treatment
  • Medical fitness and associated conditions
  • Discussion of realistic benefits, risks, and rehabilitation
  • Whether symptoms and X-ray findings correlate — surgery is not advised on X-ray appearance alone
  • Patient expectations and goals from surgery
  • Selection of implant and surgical technique when surgery is appropriate
The final decision is made jointly with the patient — Dr. Bhutani explains the findings, the available options, and the expected outcomes of each, so the patient can decide with a clear understanding of what surgery would and would not change.

Timing the Decision

Can Joint Replacement Be Delayed?

Not every arthritic joint needs immediate surgery. In early or moderate stages, symptoms can often be managed for a period of time with:
  • Activity and lifestyle modification
  • Physiotherapy and muscle strengthening
  • Injections, in selected cases
  • Weight management
  • Appropriate medicines
  • Walking aids and regular monitoring
These measures can reduce pain and preserve function for some time. However, prolonged delay in an advanced, deforming, or rapidly worsening joint can allow deformity, stiffness, and muscle weakness to progress — which is why regular review with Dr. Bhutani is recommended rather than indefinitely postponing the decision on your own.

The Surgical Journey

What Happens Before, During and After Surgery?

Before Surgery

Medical fitness assessment, blood and imaging investigations, medication review, and anaesthesia evaluation. The patient and family are counselled on the planned procedure, expected hospital stay, and precautions.The patient and family are also counselled about the expected hospital stay, pain control, walking after surgery, physiotherapy, wound care, precautions, and recovery milestones.

During Surgery

Under appropriate anaesthesia, Dr. Bhutani performs the surgical approach, prepares and positions the implant, and checks alignment and joint stability before closing.The patient and family are also counselled about the expected hospital stay, pain control, walking after surgery, physiotherapy, wound care, precautions, and recovery milestones.

After Surgery

Pain control, blood-clot prevention, early mobilisation, physiotherapy, wound care, and a planned discharge with clear follow-up instructions.Physiotherapy, pain control, swelling management, wound care, and regular follow-up are important parts of recovery. The aim is to help the patient return to daily activities safely and confidently.

Recovery & Rehabilitation

Many patients are supported to stand and take assisted steps early after knee or hip replacement, under supervision. Physiotherapy is introduced progressively, along with a walker or walking aid as needed, before advancing to stairs and unassisted walking.Return to routine daily activities happens gradually, with regular follow-up visits to track progress. The exact pace of recovery varies from patient to patient depending on age, muscle strength, medical condition, and adherence to rehabilitation. The patient and family are also counselled about the expected hospital stay, pain control, walking after surgery, physiotherapy, wound care, precautions, and recovery milestones.

Hospital Stay & Follow-Up

The length of hospital stay depends on the procedure and the patient's recovery. Before discharge, the physiotherapy team reviews walking safety, wound status, and pain control.Follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor healing, adjust physiotherapy, and address any concerns during the recovery period. Physiotherapy, pain control, swelling management, wound care, and regular follow-up are important parts of recovery. The aim is to help the patient return to daily activities safely and confidently.

Being Honest

Risks and Safety Measures

Like any surgery, joint replacement carries risks such as infection, blood clots, stiffness, implant loosening, or the need for further procedures. These risks are discussed openly with every patient before surgery.

Eva Hospital follows structured protocols for infection control, blood clot (DVT) prevention, pain management, and early mobilization to help reduce these risks and support a safer recovery.

I recently had robotic knee replacement surgery with Dr.Tanveer Singh Bhutani at Eva Hospital, and I am beyond grateful for the life-changing results. Before the surgery, I was full dependent on wheelchair, No able to walk, I couldn't even go to the washroom, without anyone's help.

After the post-surgery, I am now walking independently and even cycling—activities I never thought I'd be able to do again. The precision of the robotic-assisted surgery has made a remarkable difference, allowing for a faster recovery and significantly less pain. Dr.Tanveer Singh was not only professional and highly skilled but also compassionate and supportive throughout the entire process.

During the surgery the staff were fantastic as well. They made sure I was comfortable, informed, and well cared for at every stage, from pre-op to post-op. The facility was top-notch, and I always felt like I was in great hands.

I cannot thank Tanveer Singh Bhutani and the team at Eva Hospital enough for giving me my mobility back and helping me regain my independence. I highly recommend them to anyone considering knee replacement surgery!
