Joint Replacement Surgery in Nagpur
Quick Enquiry
Joint pain can make walking, climbing stairs, and even sitting difficult. When medicines, exercise, or injections stop helping, Joint Replacement Surgery in Nagpur can restore comfort and movement.
Dr. Siddharth Jain offers advanced joint replacement surgery in Nagpur for knee, hip, and shoulder replacements designed to relieve pain, improve flexibility, and help you get back to the activities you enjoy.
Why Consider Joint Replacement?
Your joint (hip, knee, shoulder, etc.) is a hinge or ball-and-socket that’s meant to glide smoothly. When cartilage wears out, the bone surfaces rub together, leading to joint pain, stiffness, weakness, or instability
When non-surgical treatments (medication, injections, physiotherapy) no longer provide relief, joint replacement is a well-established option for restoring comfort and mobility.
Types of Joint Replacement Surgeries Dr. Jain Performs in Nagpur
Because each joint works differently, the surgery is tailored to the area of your body. Dr Jain offers:
Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
For knees worn unevenly, very arthritic, causing pain and walking difficulty.
Partial (Unicompartmental) Knee Replacement
When only one side of the knee is damaged.
Total Hip Replacement (THR)
When hip pain, stiffness, or fractures reduce mobility.
Shoulder Replacement (Total or Reverse)
For severe shoulder arthritis, rotator cuff tear with arthritis, or failed previous surgery.
Other Joint Replacements
When the patient and condition match the need for a tailored joint prosthesis.
Are You a Candidate For Joint Replacement?
You might be a candidate if you meet many of the following:
- Pain that stops you from doing everyday things (walking, climbing stairs, reaching, dressing)
- Regular use of pain-killers, injections or physiotherapy with little lasting relief
- Stiffness, swelling or clicking in the joint
- X-rays or scans showing advanced joint damage or wear
- Desire to regain your daily life, movement and independence rather than endure ongoing pain

Risks and Things You Should Know
All surgery carries risks. For joint replacement, these include:
- Infection, blood clots
- Implant loosening or wear over time
- Nerve or blood vessel injury (rare)
- Need for revision surgery in future.

Frequently Asked Questions about Joint Replacement in Nagpur
Will I feel like a normal joint again?
Many people say they almost forget they had a joint replacement—but it won’t feel 100% like a brand-new natural joint. It will feel much better than the painful one you had.
How long does the surgery last?
It depends on the joint. Usually 1–3 hours.
When can I stop using the walker or cane?
For many hip/knee patients, it takes within a few days to a couple of weeks, but it depends.
Can I do sports after replacement?
Yes, though high-impact activities may be limited. Low-impact, strength-based, and recreational sports are usually fine.
How much does it cost in Nagpur?
Costs vary depending on joint, implant, hospital stay, and rehabilitation requirements. Dr. R. Jain’s team will provide a precise estimate during consultation.
