Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our orthopedic services and procedures.
What is robotic knee replacement surgery?
Robotic knee replacement uses advanced CORI technology for precise implant placement. This minimally invasive procedure offers better alignment, less tissue damage, and faster recovery compared to traditional methods.
How long does it take to recover from knee replacement surgery?
Most patients can walk with assistance within 24 hours after surgery. Full recovery typically takes 3-6 months, with many patients returning to normal activities within 6-12 weeks.
What are the signs that I need a hip replacement?
Common signs include persistent hip pain that interferes with daily activities, stiffness that limits movement, and pain that continues while resting. A consultation with our orthopedic surgeon can determine if hip replacement is right for you.
How effective is ACL reconstruction surgery?
ACL reconstruction has a high success rate, with 90-95% of patients returning to their previous activity level. Our advanced arthroscopic techniques ensure minimal scarring and faster healing.
What should I expect during my first orthopedic consultation?
During your first visit, we'll review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and may order diagnostic tests like X-rays or MRIs. We'll discuss treatment options and develop a personalized care plan.
Is orthopedic surgery very painful?
With modern anesthesia and advanced pain management protocols (like nerve blocks), most patients experience minimal discomfort during and immediately after surgery. We prioritize your comfort throughout the recovery process.
Do I need a referral to see Dr. Gaurav Saini?
While many of our patients are referred by their primary care doctors, you do not necessarily need a referral to book a consultation. You can contact us directly to schedule an appointment.
