Frequently Asked Questions

What is the lifespan of joint implants used in India?

Our partner hospitals use premium implants (Zimmer, Stryker, DePuy) with a clinical lifespan of 20–25 years. All implants are CE-marked and FDA-approved.

Is robotic surgery available for joint replacement?

Yes. Apollo Chennai has one of India's most advanced robotic joint replacement programs. Robotic assistance ensures sub-millimeter precision for optimal implant alignment.

When can I travel home after knee replacement?

Most patients are cleared for air travel 7–10 days after surgery, once basic mobility and wound healing are confirmed. BMTA coordinates the discharge and travel plan.

What physiotherapy is included?

Inpatient physiotherapy begins the day after surgery. BMTA arranges a structured post-discharge physiotherapy protocol and can coordinate follow-up sessions back home.
