Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do I need surgery for an orthopaedic issue?

Not always. Many conditions respond well to conservative treatments like physiotherapy, braces, and medications.

How painful is fracture surgery or joint replacement?

Post-operative pain is managed with modern techniques and medications to keep discomfort minimal.

How long does it take to recover?

Recovery depends on the condition—2–6 weeks for simple fractures, and 3–6 months for joint replacements, including rehab.

Is minimally invasive surgery better?

Whenever suitable, we prefer arthroscopy and keyhole procedures, which result in smaller scars, less pain, and faster recovery.

When can I start physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy typically starts within 1–2 days of surgery or injury, under expert supervision.

Can elderly patients undergo joint replacement?

Yes. Many older patients tolerate surgery well, especially with tailored perioperative care.

Are sports injuries treated here?

Absolutely. We treat ligament tears, tendon ruptures, and other athletic injuries, including speedy return-to-play plans.

Will I need equipment at home?

Depending on your condition, you may need crutches, walkers, knee braces, or home exercise guidance—all arranged by our team.
