Recovering quickly and comfortably after surgery is a top priority for our patients.

Here are the key factors that contribute to a successful early recovery:

1. Multimodal Analgesia: We use a combination of different pain relievers at lower doses to effectively manage pain and minimize side effects. This allows for faster recovery and better participation in physiotherapy.

2. Home-Based Care: Whenever possible, we aim to discharge patients to the comfort of their own homes. We even offer home-based stitch removal and wound dressing services to avoid unnecessary hospital visits.

3. Managing Sleep : Sleep issues are common after surgery. We provide various techniques and medications to help patients improve their sleep patterns and overall well-being.

4. Dissolvable Stitches: These stitches are hidden from view and eliminate the need for painful removal, resulting in a better cosmetic outcome.

We believe that the best patient outcomes aren’t just the result of a successful surgery—they are the result of a dedicated team working together.

Post-operative infection is a serious concern in hip and knee replacements. To provide the highest level of safety and care, we utilize a multidisciplinary approach. This means our patients benefit from the combined expertise of:

1. Infectious Disease Specialists
2. Microbiologists
3. Orthopedic Surgeons

By providing this "one-stop" comprehensive care, we ensure every detail is managed by an expert, giving our patients peace of mind and a smoother path to mobility.

usting the Myth: 'Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) hip replacement is for EVERYONE!

Think MIS is a one-size-fits-all solution? Think again. It's NOT ideal for:

Morbidly obese patients

Those with prior surgeries or fractures/plates

Individuals with weak bones

Minimally invasive hip surgery offers faster recovery using anterior and posterior approaches, ideal for young, fit patients.
Key Advantages:
1. Less pain and rapid standing
2. Smaller, cosmetic scar
3.Minimal blood loss, no muscle cuts
4. Next-day discharge
5. Home physiotherapy and stitch removal

Minimally invasive hip surgery is gaining popularity, and at my practice, we expertly perform it via the direct anterior approach alongside the posterior method. Patients experience less pain, rapid mobilization minimal blood loss, and no muscle cutting—leading to next-day discharge.

The direct anterior approach offers key advantages: faster recovery, lower dislocation risk, improved stability, and enhanced range of motion compared to traditional methods. Ideal for active patients seeking quicker return to daily life.

Thinking about hip replacement?

There are three key surgical options — Posterior, Direct Anterior, and Lateral approaches — designed for precise, patient-focused care!

Posterior Approach:
Traditional, most used in India, great visibility — but some movement restrictions after surgery.

Direct Anterior Approach:
Minimally invasive, less muscle cutting, preserves major muscles. That means quicker walking, faster rehab, and less pain after surgery.

Doctors use a 360-degree approach for tailored results and better recovery.

Hip replacement has come a long way, and robotic technology is revolutionizing the joint replacement surgery.
In the following video I have covered following main pointers of Hip replacement surgery :
1. Precision Planning – 3D CT scan technology helps us plan implant placement with millimeter accuracy.
2. Perfect Joint Recreation – Ensuring optimal leg length and restoring mobility.
3. Minimized Risk – Reduced chances of dislocation and impingement through advanced simulations.
4. Enhanced Patient Recovery – A smoother, more natural movement post-surgery.

With robotic assistance, we can customize the procedure for each patient, ensuring the best possible results.

At Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, we have successfully performed 200+ robotic joint replacement surgeries, ensuring greater accuracy, faster recovery, and improved patient outcomes.

This year marks the 10th International Day of Yoga with the theme “Yoga for Self and Society.” This subject emphasises the double benefits of yoga practice: enhancing personal well-being and improving society at large. The theme recognises that inner serenity and self-care are the cornerstones of a happy and healthy existence.
