Advanced Joint Replacement Surgery (Knee, Hip & Shoulder) - Dr. Sanjiv Guardian Hospital

Overview

Joint pain can severely impact your mobility, independence, and overall quality of life. Whether caused by advanced arthritis, sports injuries, or degenerative conditions, chronic joint damage doesn't have to dictate your lifestyle. At Dr. Sanjiv Guardian Hospital, our Department of Orthopedics offers state-of-the-art Joint Replacement surgeries designed to relieve pain, restore joint function, and help you get back to an active, pain-free life.

Comprehensive Joint Replacement Procedures We Offer

• Total Knee Replacement (TKR): A precise surgical procedure where damaged cartilage and bone of the knee joint are replaced with high-grade artificial implants, restoring smooth movement and eliminating bone-on-bone friction.

• Partial Knee Replacement (PKR): Ideal for patients whose damage is confined to just one compartment of the knee, allowing for a faster recovery and preservation of healthy bone and ligaments.

• Total Hip Replacement (THR): Replacement of the damaged ball-and-socket hip joint with durable prosthetic components, significantly improving movement and eliminating chronic groin and thigh pain.

• Total & Reverse Shoulder Joint Replacement: Specialized procedures designed to treat severe shoulder arthritis, complex fractures, or rotator cuff tears. While standard replacement restores the natural ball-and-socket mechanics, Reverse Shoulder Replacement alters the joint mechanics to use alternative muscles for movement when the rotator cuff is completely damaged.

• Revision Joint Replacement: Specialized corrective surgery for patients who have previously undergone joint replacement but are experiencing wear, loosening, or complications over time.
