What is Total Joint Replacement?
Total joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which damaged or arthritic parts of a joint are removed and replaced with a prosthesis—made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. This artificial implant is carefully designed to replicate the natural movement and structure of a healthy joint.
Joints are where two or more bones meet, allowing movement. They are cushioned by cartilage, which enables smooth motion. When this cartilage deteriorates due to arthritis, trauma, or degenerative conditions, bone surfaces can rub against each other, causing pain, inflammation, and reduced mobility.
At Amicare, we only recommend joint replacement surgery after conservative treatments like medications, physical therapy, and injections have failed to provide relief.
Common Causes of Joint Damage
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Post-traumatic arthritis
- Congenital joint disorders
- Genetic conditions
At Amicare Hospital, we offer robotic technology for knee and hip replacement surgeries, making us one of the few centers in the region with this advanced facility.
Advanced Hip and Knee Replacement Surgery
Hip and knee replacements are among the most successful procedures in modern orthopedic care. At Amicare Hospital, we use robotic-assisted and minimally invasive techniques for more precise surgeries, smaller incisions, and faster recovery.
Hip Replacement
During a hip replacement, the damaged femoral head (ball) is removed and replaced with a metal or ceramic ball attached to a stem, which fits into the femur (thigh bone). The socket in the pelvis is also replaced with a metal cup lined with a durable plastic insert, creating a smooth, pain-free joint. Depending on the case, the prosthesis may be cemented or left uncemented to allow natural bone growth into the implant.
Knee Replacement
In total knee replacement, the worn-out surfaces of the femur, tibia, and kneecap are carefully removed and replaced with custom-fitted implants. The procedure preserves the major ligaments and tendons, maintaining joint stability and natural motion. Like hip replacements, knee implants may be cemented or coated to promote bone integration.
What to Expect During Surgery
- Performed under spinal anesthesia with nerve blocks for better pain control and fewer side effects
- Surgery time: 1 to 2 hours
- Hospital stay: 1 to 2 days
- Walking begins on the same day of surgery
- Most patients resume normal activities within 1 to 3 months

Q1. What is hip or knee replacement surgery?
Hip and knee replacement surgeries involve removing damaged or arthritic joint surfaces and replacing them with artificial implants (prostheses) designed to restore normal movement and reduce pain.
Q2. Who is a good candidate for joint replacement?
You may be a candidate if you suffer from severe joint pain, stiffness, or loss of mobility due to arthritis, injury, or degeneration and if non-surgical treatments like medication or physiotherapy haven’t helped.
Q3. What’s the difference between total and partial joint replacement?
A total joint replacement involves replacing the entire joint surface, while a partial replacement (like unicompartmental knee replacement) replaces only the damaged portion. The choice depends on the extent of joint damage.
Q4. What is robotic-assisted joint replacement?
Robotic-assisted surgery uses advanced technology to enhance precision, alignment, and fit of the implant. It can lead to smaller incisions, less blood loss, and faster recovery compared to traditional methods.
Q5. How long does the surgery take?
Hip or knee replacement surgery typically takes about 1 to 2 hours, followed by a short recovery period in the hospital.
Q6. What type of anesthesia is used?
Most joint replacements are performed under spinal anesthesia with a nerve block, which reduces post-surgical pain and avoids the side effects of general anesthesia.
Q7. How long will I stay in the hospital?
Most patients stay for 1 to 2 days after surgery, depending on their recovery and medical condition.
Q8. When can I walk after surgery?
Patients usually start walking on the same day of surgery or the next morning, with the help of a physiotherapist.
Q9. How long is the recovery period?
You can expect to resume most daily activities within 6 to 12 weeks, although full recovery may take a few months depending on your overall health and physical therapy progress.
Q10. How long does a joint replacement last?
Modern joint implants typically last 15 to 20 years or more, especially with proper care and activity modification. Robotic and precision-based techniques can further enhance longevity.
