Joint Replacement | Sunrise Hospital — Navigated Knee & Hip, Walking Within 24 Hours

Service 07 · Orthopaedics & Joints

Preserving your joints.
Reclaiming your daily mobility.

A worn joint quietly rewrites a life — the morning walk goes, then the stairs, then sleep, then the will to go out. However, joint deterioration does not automatically necessitate surgical intervention. Our clinical approach focuses on restoring function through advanced medical management: targeted intra-articular therapies, evidence-based physiotherapy, and cartilage-preserving protocols designed to keep you moving comfortably.

Dr. Nandan Kumar Mishra leads our joint preservation care with extensive expertise in conservative musculoskeletal management. In every single consultation, the clinical philosophy remains consistent: exhaust all non-invasive therapeutic options first. Many patients who arrive expecting an aggressive intervention are told, honestly and safely, it is not required.

The Honest Checklist

Is it time? Six honest signs

We try conservative care first — physio, injections, weight management. Surgery enters when the pain starts running the calendar.

Sleep is the first to go

Night pain — waking to ache, shifting for a comfortable position that isn't there.

The walk keeps shrinking

Temple, market, park — the radius gets smaller every season; you plan around benches.

Injections wear off early

The relief window shortens each round — that's the joint asking for a structural answer.

The knee is changing shape

Bowing outward or inward — deformity loads the joint unevenly and accelerates the damage.

Fear of falling

You've started refusing invitations, stairs and bathrooms you don't trust.

X-ray says bone-on-bone

Advanced damage with pain limiting walking, sleep or stairs — the classic combination.

Recognise three or more? Come see us — and we'll show you your own films, either way.

Urgent Clinical Care

Joint presentations requiring prompt evaluation

Clinic Care: 5:30 PM – 8:00 PM | Sunday Off

+91 77038 89477 Priority Clinical Triage

A joint that turns acutely hot, red, and swollen with fever — highly suggestive of joint infection or acute gout; requires same-day evaluation.

Sudden, severe calf pain and swelling — may indicate a deep vein thrombosis (DVT); requires prompt diagnostic imaging rather than simple pain relief.

A joint that suddenly locks, gives way, or becomes immobile after an injury — suggests a severe internal derangement requiring clinical assessment.

A fall resulting in an immediate inability to bear weight — suspect a significant structural injury or fracture; requires prompt X-ray and stabilization.

An elderly individual who cannot stand or walk after a fall — strongly suspect a hip or pelvic fracture; requires immediate diagnostic triage.

The Walk-Within-24-Hours Protocol

Hour one to week six

Rapid recovery isn't a slogan here — it's a protocol, followed for every patient, every time.

Day 0 — navigated surgery

Spinal anaesthesia, computer-aligned cuts, implant matched to your anatomy. Typically about an hour in the OT.

Same evening — stand

Physiotherapy at the bedside. Most patients are standing the same evening — the single best predictor of a fast recovery.

Day 1–4 — walk, stairs, home

Walking with support within 24 hours, stairs before discharge, home in 3–4 days with a printed plan.

Weeks 2–6 — life returns

A measured six-week rehab programme — strength, range and confidence tracked against your goals, not a generic chart.

The Right Procedure, Not the Popular One

Knees, hips & everything around them

Six procedures — matched to your damage, your age and your life, explained before anything is signed.

Total Knee Replacement

The classic — bone-on-bone arthritis resurfaced with a computer-navigated implant; bowing corrected in the same sitting.

Total Hip Replacement

Ball-and-socket renewed — for worn hips in younger patients and fractures in elders, through the same rapid-recovery path.

Partial (Unicompartmental) Knee

When arthritis is limited to one compartment — smaller surgery, smaller implant, often faster recovery.

Revision Surgery

Worn, loosened or painful implants from years ago — including joints put in elsewhere. Complex work, done routinely.

Robotic-Assisted Options

For select cases where the extra precision of robotic assistance genuinely helps — advised honestly, not upsold.

Both-Knees Planning

Two bad knees? Same-sitting versus staged — decided on your health and support at home, with the trade-offs laid out plainly.

Modular operation theatre at Sunrise Hospital

Technology & Theatres

Precision is infection control

A perfectly aligned implant lasts longer and recovers faster; a laminar-flow theatre keeps it safe. Both, standard here.

Computer navigation & robotic assistance — cuts and alignment planned to fractions of a degree
3 modular OTs with laminar airflow & HEPA filtration
Spinal anaesthesia as default — awake, comfortable, quicker back on your feet
Implants matched to age, bone and activity — including Indian anatomy and sitting habits
Pre-surgery optimisation — sugar control with the endocrine team before the OT date
Printed, itemised estimates — implant, room, theatre, consumables; signed before admission

Common Questions

Asked before every surgery

The five questions patients (and their children) ask most — answered the way Dr. Khanna answers them in the OPD.

All 27 FAQs

There's no upper age limit — fitness matters more than birthdays. We've replaced joints for patients in their eighties who went home walking on day four. If your heart, lungs and sugar are manageable, age alone will never be the reason we say no.

Modern implants are engineered to serve for decades, and navigation — by keeping alignment precise — protects that lifespan. Exactly how long depends on your age, weight, bone quality and activity. We counsel each patient with their own numbers, and if a revision is ever needed decades on, that expertise is here too.

Both are reasonable paths. Same-sitting means one admission, one anaesthesia and one rehab — but a bigger physiological load, so it suits medically fitter patients. Staged means an easier recovery each time, with the second knee a few months later. We'll recommend based on your health and your support at home, not our convenience.

Many patients regain floor sitting and near-full bending with the right implant choice and disciplined physiotherapy — but it isn't guaranteed for every knee, and high-load deep squatting is the hardest movement of all. Tell us your goals before surgery; we choose the implant and set the rehab targets around the life you actually want back.

Desk work is usually comfortable in a few weeks; driving once you can brake hard without hesitation — commonly around the four-to-six-week mark after a right-knee replacement. It's decided by your control and strength, not the calendar, and the rehab team tests both before they sign you off.
