Joint Replacement Surgery in Ahmedabad – All Joints, One Expert Team at EPIC

Joint replacement surgery in Ahmedabad covers a broader range of procedures than most patients realise when they first come in. The knee and hip are the most common – but the shoulder, ankle, elbow, and even finger joints can be replaced when arthritis has advanced to the point where function and quality of life are significantly compromised. 

At EPIC Multispecialty Hospital, our joint replacement programme brings together subspecialty-trained arthroplasty surgeons, dedicated joint replacement theatres, and an integrated rehabilitation team – for every joint, not just the most common ones. 

If a joint in your body is failing you, we have the expertise to address it properly. 

Joint Replacement Procedures Available at EPIC Hospital, Ahmedabad

• Total and partial knee replacement: The most commonly performed joint replacement worldwide. We offer standard total knee replacement, unicompartmental (partial) replacement, and patellofemoral replacement – selected based on the specific pattern of your arthritis. 

• Total and partial hip replacement: Total hip arthroplasty for advanced hip arthritis, hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures, and hip resurfacing for appropriately selected younger patients. 

• Shoulder replacement: Total shoulder arthroplasty for glenohumeral arthritis with an intact rotator cuff, and reverse shoulder arthroplasty for patients with rotator cuff deficiency combined with arthritis. 

• Ankle replacement: Total ankle arthroplasty for end-stage ankle arthritis is increasingly offered as an alternative to ankle fusion – preserving joint motion while eliminating pain. Patient selection is precise, but the outcomes in the right candidate are excellent. 

• Revision joint replacement: For patients whose previous knee, hip, or shoulder replacement has failed – due to loosening, infection, bearing wear, or instability. Revision surgery is technically demanding and requires experience, implant inventory, and pre-operative planning that not every centre in Ahmedabad offers. 

What All Successful Joint Replacements Have in Common

Joint replacement is not a single operation – it’s a process that begins weeks before surgery and ends months after discharge. The outcome depends on every stage of that process going well. 

Pre-operative optimisation matters. Patients who are anaemic, poorly controlled diabetic, or significantly overweight have higher complication rates after joint replacement. Where possible, we address these factors before surgery – correcting anaemia with iron supplementation, tightening glycaemic control in diabetic patients, and providing pre-operative physiotherapy (‘prehab’) to build muscle strength before the joint is replaced. 

The operation itself – component positioning, limb alignment, soft tissue balancing, wound closure – is where the surgeon’s skill determines the functional result. But even perfect surgery is undermined by inadequate rehabilitation. The patients who achieve the best outcomes after joint replacement at EPIC Hospital in Ahmedabad are those who engage seriously with physiotherapy, attend follow-up reviews, and report problems early rather than hoping they’ll resolve. 

We support that process actively. Our physiotherapy team follows up every joint replacement patient through their recovery. Our surgeons review patients at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 1 year as a minimum – because we want to know how the joint is performing over time, not just how the wound healed. 

Joint Replacement Surgery – What Patients Ask

Which joint replacement surgeries are performed most commonly at EPIC Hospital in Ahmedabad? 

Knee and hip replacements are by far the most frequent. Shoulder replacement follows. Ankle replacement is performed less frequently but with increasing regularity as implant technology and surgical techniques have improved. 

How long is the hospital stay for joint replacement surgery at EPIC Hospital? 

Knee and hip replacements: 3 to 5 days. Shoulder replacement: 2 to 3 days. Ankle replacement: 3 to 4 days. These are general figures – your specific stay depends on clinical progress, rehabilitation milestones, and any complications. 

Can joint replacement surgery be done under regional anaesthesia rather than general anaesthesia? 

Yes – and for knee and hip replacements, spinal or epidural anaesthesia is often preferred. It avoids the risks associated with general anaesthesia, provides excellent intraoperative and immediate post-operative pain control, and allows the patient to be alert and cooperative for early physiotherapy. Your anaesthetist will discuss the best approach for you. 

Is there an age limit for joint replacement surgery at EPIC Hospital in Ahmedabad? 

No fixed age limit. Surgical fitness – not age – determines candidacy. Patients in their 80s can have excellent outcomes from joint replacement. Conversely, very young patients (under 50) require careful discussion, because implants have a finite lifespan and a younger patient is more likely to need revision surgery during their lifetime.
