Restoring Mobility, Relieving Pain, Rebuilding Lives
Joint replacement surgery is one of the most effective solutions for patients suffering from severe joint pain, stiffness, and limited mobility due to arthritis, trauma, or degenerative joint disease. The procedure involves replacing damaged or worn-out joint surfaces with artificial implants, designed to replicate natural movement and function.
At Starcare International Hospital, our Department of Orthopaedics & Spine offers advanced joint replacement surgeries, including hip, knee, and shoulder replacements. Using the latest techniques and implant technologies, our expert surgeons focus on restoring mobility, relieving chronic pain, and helping patients regain independence.
Types of Joint Replacement Surgeries
Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
This procedure replaces the damaged surfaces of the knee joint with a prosthetic implant. It is commonly performed for patients with advanced osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis who experience persistent pain and difficulty walking or climbing stairs.
Partial Knee Replacement
For patients with damage confined to a single compartment of the knee, this procedure allows for the preservation of healthy bone and ligaments, enabling a quicker recovery and more natural joint function.
Revision Knee Replacement
Performed when a previous knee implant fails due to wear, infection, or loosening. This complex surgery involves removing the old implant and replacing it with a new one.
Total Hip Replacement (THR)
In this surgery, both the ball and socket of the hip joint are replaced with artificial components. It is typically recommended for patients with end-stage osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis of the hip.
Revision Hip Replacement
Required when an existing hip implant wears out, loosens, or causes complications. It involves removing the failed prosthesis and implanting a new, stable replacement.
Shoulder Replacement Surgery
Replacement of the shoulder joint in cases of severe arthritis, fractures, or rotator cuff arthropathy. Options include total shoulder replacement and reverse shoulder replacement, depending on the integrity of the surrounding muscles and tendons.
When is Joint Replacement Recommended?
Joint replacement surgery is usually advised when:
Joint pain persists despite medications and physiotherapy
Mobility is significantly reduced, affecting daily activities
X-rays or MRI show advanced joint degeneration or deformity
Quality of life is compromised due to stiffness and discomfort
Conservative treatments such as injections and lifestyle changes have failed
Our team performs a thorough clinical and radiological assessment before recommending surgery, ensuring every patient receives the most appropriate care plan.
Benefits of Joint Replacement Surgery
Long-term pain relief and improved joint function
Increased range of motion and physical activity
Enhanced quality of life and independence
Custom-fit implants suited to individual anatomy
Advanced surgical techniques including minimally invasive and robotic-assisted procedures
Shorter hospital stay and faster recovery in most cases
Surgical Techniques at Starcare
We use the latest advancements in joint replacement technology, including:
Computer-assisted navigation to ensure precise implant placement
Minimally invasive approaches to reduce tissue trauma and recovery time
Robotic-assisted surgeries (where applicable) for unmatched accuracy and alignment
Customized rehabilitation programs designed by our multidisciplinary team
Every procedure is tailored to the patient’s condition, activity level, bone structure, and personal goals.
Post-Operative Recovery and Rehabilitation
Recovery after joint replacement depends on the type of joint replaced and the patient’s overall health. Most patients are encouraged to begin movement within 24 hours of surgery, under the guidance of our rehabilitation team.
Pain is well-controlled with medications and nerve blocks
Physiotherapy is started early to strengthen muscles and restore joint movement
Most patients return to daily activities within 4–6 weeks
Full recovery and optimal joint function typically occur within 3–6 months
Our team ensures continuous follow-up and support throughout your healing journey.
