Knee and hip replacement surgery are orthopaedic procedures designed to address significant joint damage, reduce pain and improve mobility when other appropriate treatments no longer provide sufficient relief. These procedures involve replacing damaged joint surfaces with artificial components to support better joint function and everyday movement.
Dr. Lokesh Kumar Gupta, Senior Consultant Orthopaedic, Trauma, Sports Medicine and Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon in Hyderabad, has over 14 years of professional experience. He holds MBBS, D.Ortho, DNB Ortho, MNAMS and an FIJR Fellowship in Robotic Joint Replacements. He has also received specialised robotic joint replacement training in Singapore.
Joint replacement may be considered when joint damage significantly affects comfort, mobility and quality of life. A comprehensive orthopaedic evaluation helps determine whether surgery is suitable.
Common reasons for assessment include:
Persistent knee or hip pain
Significant joint damage
Difficulty walking, standing or climbing stairs
Reduced joint movement
Difficulty performing everyday activities
Ongoing symptoms despite appropriate non-surgical treatment
The decision to proceed with surgery depends on the patient’s symptoms, examination findings, imaging results and overall health.
Knee replacement surgery involves replacing damaged surfaces of the knee joint with artificial components. It may be recommended for suitable patients whose knee problems substantially affect mobility and daily activities.
Depending on the extent of joint damage, treatment may involve total or partial knee replacement. Dr. Lokesh Kumar Gupta evaluates the patient’s condition to determine the appropriate surgical approach.
The aim is to reduce joint-related pain and support improved movement and functional ability.
Hip replacement surgery involves replacing damaged portions of the hip joint with artificial components. It may be considered when hip joint problems cause persistent pain, stiffness or difficulty walking.
Treatment planning considers the patient’s joint condition, anatomy, medical history and mobility requirements. The objective is to address significant joint damage and help improve everyday function.
Robotic-assisted technology can support surgical planning for selected joint replacement procedures. Dr. Lokesh Kumar Gupta has specialised training in robotic joint replacement and provides expertise in robotic total and partial knee and hip replacement for suitable patients.
The choice between conventional and robotic-assisted surgery depends on individual clinical requirements, joint anatomy and the surgeon’s assessment.
Every patient requires an individualised treatment plan. Before recommending surgery, the orthopaedic specialist assesses symptoms, joint damage and treatment options. Following joint replacement, rehabilitation and postoperative care play important roles in recovery.
Recovery varies depending on the procedure, general health and individual circumstances.
