Specialist care
Knee and hip replacement specialist in Pune
There is no single joint replacement operation. The right procedure depends on the joint, how severely it is affected, your symptoms and whether you have had surgery on it before.
Dr. Aniket Patil specializes in both knee and hip replacement, from first-time replacement to revision surgery. Use the links below to read about the procedure that applies to you.
Knee replacement
Knee replacement can involve the whole joint, only the damaged part of the knee, both knees or revision of an earlier replacement.
Hip replacement
For hip replacement, the main decisions include whether a total replacement is needed, which surgical approach is appropriate and whether an earlier implant needs revision.
Getting the decision right
When should you see a joint replacement surgeon?
You do not need to wait until you have decided on surgery. A specialist opinion can help when pain keeps limiting everyday life, arthritis is getting worse or another doctor recommends joint replacement.
-
Persistent knee or hip pain
Pain, stiffness or loss of movement keeps affecting walking, stairs, sleep or normal daily activity.
-
Severe arthritis or AVN
Your scans show significant joint damage and non-surgical treatment is no longer helping enough.
-
Your doctor recommends joint replacement
You want to understand whether surgery makes sense now and which operation fits the problem.
-
An earlier replacement is causing trouble
Pain, loosening, wear or other problems with an older knee or hip replacement may need revision surgery.
-
You want another opinion
A second specialist view can help when you want more clarity before making a major surgical decision.
First replacement or revision
Primary and revision joint replacement surgery
Revision surgery is different from a first knee or hip replacement. It may need to address implant loosening or wear, bone loss, infection or other changes around the joint.
Dr. Aniket Patil specializes in both primary and revision knee and hip replacement. He sees patients considering their first replacement as well as those with problems from an earlier knee or hip replacement.
First joint replacement
A first replacement starts with confirming that the joint damage, symptoms and loss of function justify surgery and deciding which procedure fits the problem.
Revision joint replacement
Revision surgery deals with problems from an earlier knee or hip replacement, such as pain, loosening, wear, infection or bone loss.
Before you decide
Second opinion before knee or hip replacement
Joint replacement is a major decision. A second opinion can help confirm the diagnosis, clarify whether surgery makes sense now and help you understand which procedure may suit your joint.
It can be especially useful when you still have questions, different doctors recommend different options or you want another opinion before revision surgery.
-
01
Do I need joint replacement?
A second opinion can review the diagnosis, scans, symptoms and treatment you have already tried before you decide on surgery.
-
02
Is this the right time for surgery?
The decision depends on how severely the joint is affected, how much it limits everyday life and whether non-surgical treatment is still helping enough.
-
03
Which operation fits my joint?
The right procedure depends on the joint, the pattern of damage and whether this is a first replacement or revision surgery.
Why specialist experience matters
Why choose a joint replacement specialist?
Joint replacement is not only about performing the operation. The first decision is whether you need surgery at all. The next is choosing the procedure that fits the diagnosis, how severely the joint is affected and what you need from treatment.
Dr. Aniket Patil specializes in primary and revision knee and hip replacement. His knee work includes total, partial, bilateral and revision replacement. His hip work includes total, direct anterior and revision replacement.
He trained in joint replacement at Carl Gustav Carus University Hospital in Dresden and in arthroscopic surgery at Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong.
Robotic-assisted surgery
Robotic knee replacement in Pune
Dr. Aniket Patil is a consultant robotic joint replacement surgeon at Noble Hospitals & Research Centre in Pune. Robotic technology can assist the surgeon with planning, bone preparation and implant positioning during knee replacement.
The robot does not replace the surgeon or make the decision to operate. Whether robotic assistance is useful depends on your knee and the type of replacement you need.
