Joint Replacement Frequently Asked Questions

Pain-control plans commonly combine anaesthesia, medicines and early rehabilitation. Some discomfort after surgery is expected, and the amount varies from patient to patient. The treating and anaesthesia teams adjust pain management according to the patient’s health, procedure and response.

Hospital stay depends on the procedure, age, medical conditions, mobility and recovery progress. Your surgeon and hospital team decide discharge when pain, wound care, walking and medical safety are appropriate for you.

Dr. Dheeraj Dubay has 24 years of orthopedic experience and has performed 40,000+ total surgeries across his career. He is Director, Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery at Shalby Hospital Jaipur. These career figures are not a guarantee of an individual surgical outcome.

Implant longevity varies with implant design, age, body weight, activity, alignment, medical factors and complications. Your surgeon can discuss what is known about the proposed implant and what follow-up is appropriate for your case rather than promising a fixed lifespan.

Navigation and robotic systems can provide patient-specific planning and objective measurements that assist the surgeon with alignment, balancing and bone preparation. They are tools used by the surgeon; the surgeon remains responsible for the operation and decides whether the technology is appropriate for the patient.

Coverage depends on the insurer or TPA, policy wording, waiting periods, exclusions, medical indication and the hospital’s current network. Share your policy or government-scheme details with Shalby Hospital’s insurance desk for current verification before admission.

The final estimate depends on the procedure, implant, one or both knees, case complexity, hospital services, room category and insurance eligibility. A current patient-specific hospital estimate is more reliable than a generic online package price.

Many rehabilitation pathways encourage early mobilisation when medically appropriate, but the timing and level of assistance vary. Age, strength, other medical conditions, the operation and physiotherapy progress all affect when a patient walks safely.
