Joint replacement surgery at Eva Hospital, Ludhiana is provided by the Orthopaedics Department for knee, hip and revision joint conditions.
Every patient is evaluated individually with clinical examination, X-rays, functional assessment, and medical fitness review before any decision on surgery is made.
Overview
The aim of joint replacement is to reduce pain, improve mobility and correct deformity where needed. Results vary from patient to patient.
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, surgical planning, implants, robotic-assisted technology for knee replacement, pain-control protocols, early mobilisation and structured physiotherapy are used.

Joint replacement may be considered when joint damage has become severe and non-surgical treatment is no longer giving enough relief. Common signs include:
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
Eva Hospital provides evaluation and treatment for different types of joint problems, including:
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 in control of the procedure.
Robotic knee replacement is not required for every patient. The treating surgeon advises it only after evaluating the patient’s symptoms, X-rays, deformity, mobility, expectations, and medical condition.
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 reducing pain and improving movement. Outcomes vary.
When a Previous Implant Fails
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
The final decision is made jointly with the patient —the treating surgeon 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
regular review with an orthopaedic doctor is recommendedThese 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 — regular review with an orthopaedic doctor is recommended.

The Surgical Journey
Being Honest
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.
Pain is expected after surgery, but modern pain-control measures, medicines and physiotherapy are used to help manage it.
Joint replacement may be considered when pain, stiffness, deformity, and difficulty walking continue despite non-surgical treatment, and X-rays show advanced joint damage.
No. Robotic-assisted knee replacement can be useful in suitable patients, but it is not necessary for everyone. The decision depends on the patient’s knee condition, deformity, anatomy, and clinical requirement.
Implants can last many years, but implant life depends on age, weight, activity level, bone quality, implant positioning, surgical technique, and follow-up care.
Many patients are made to stand and walk early after surgery under supervision, depending on their medical condition and the type of procedure performed.
Revision joint replacement is surgery performed when a previous knee or hip replacement has developed a problem such as loosening, infection, instability, wear, fracture, or persistent pain.
May be considered after proper medical evaluation. Suitability is decided case by case. After proper medical evaluation, anaesthesia clearance, and peri-operative planning.
The most common joint replacements are knee and hip replacements. Shoulder and ankle replacement may be considered in selected patients.
