Joint Replacement Requirements

A practical guide to joint replacement services, symptoms that suggest treatment, available solutions and common patient questions.

Knee Care

Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

Complete replacement of knee joint surfaces with proven implants to relieve pain, correct deformity and restore mobility.

Hip Care

Total Hip Replacement (THR)

Replacement of femoral and acetabular components for end-stage hip arthritis and severe joint damage.

Shoulder Care

Shoulder Replacement

Includes anatomic and reverse shoulder arthroplasty to treat arthritis, cuff-tear arthropathy and complex shoulder conditions.

Ankle Care

Ankle Replacement

Primary ankle arthroplasty restores motion and relieves pain in selected patients with end-stage ankle arthritis.

Revision Surgery

Revision Joint Replacement

Complex surgeries to manage failed, loose or infected implants — requires experienced revision teams and specialized implants.

Custom Fit

Patient-Specific / Custom Implants

CT/MRI-based planning and custom instruments/implants for improved fit and function in complex anatomy or revision cases.

Symptoms

Common Symptoms

  • Pain that limits walking, work or sleep
  • Stiffness and loss of joint movement
  • Swelling or chronic inflammation around the joint
  • Reduced ability to perform daily tasks (stairs, standing)
  • Instability, deformity, or grinding/locking sensations

When to See a Specialist

If symptoms persist despite physiotherapy, medications or injections — or if pain significantly affects quality of life — consult an orthopaedic specialist. Early assessment and imaging help choose the correct treatment path.

Solution

Non-Surgical Treatments

  • Physiotherapy and targeted strengthening
  • Weight management and activity modification
  • Oral analgesics and anti-inflammatory medication
  • Intra-articular injections (steroid, hyaluronic acid)
  • Bracing and assistive devices

Surgical Options

Surgery is considered when conservative care fails to control pain or function. Options include arthroplasty for knee, hip, shoulder, ankle; revision procedures for failed implants; and robotic or minimally invasive approaches when appropriate.

After Surgery & Rehabilitation

  • Early mobilisation and supervised physiotherapy
  • Progressive strengthening and gait training
  • Return to many daily activities within 6–12 weeks (varies by joint)
  • Long-term implant care and periodic follow-up

Frequently Asked Questions

Modern joint implants commonly last 15–25 years depending on the joint, implant type, patient activity and weight. Regular follow-up helps detect issues early.
Early walking usually starts within 24–48 hours. Many patients resume most daily activities in 6–12 weeks, but full strength and function may take several months depending on the joint and rehab.
Low-impact activities (walking, swimming, cycling) are commonly recommended. High-impact sports should be discussed with your surgeon — recommendations vary by joint and implant.
Risks include infection, blood clots, implant loosening, stiffness and nerve injury; your surgical team will take preventative measures and advise post-op care to minimise risk.
