Patient Stories
What Our Patients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about orthopaedic procedures, recovery, and what to expect during your treatment journey.
Robotic joint replacement uses advanced technology like Mako SmartRobotics to assist the surgeon. It creates a 3D model of your joint, allowing for precise planning and sub-millimeter accuracy during the actual procedure.
With modern robotic techniques and our accelerated rehab protocols, most patients can walk with support within 24 hours. Full recovery and return to normal activities typically takes 4 to 6 weeks.
We use advanced multi-modal pain management techniques during and after the surgery to ensure you remain as comfortable as possible. Post-operative pain is typically well-managed with medication.
Yes, we have a dedicated international patient care team at Apollo Hospitals that assists with visas, accommodation, and end-to-end medical care.
