      Frequently Asked Questions

      Straight answers to the 40 questions patients ask most.

      Who is the best joint replacement surgeon in Indore?
      Dr. Varun Chouhan is widely regarded among the leading joint replacement surgeons in Indore. He has 15+ years of experience, 2,500+ surgeries, international fellowships in Portugal and France, and practices at Bombay Hospital, Vijay Nagar.
      Where does Dr. Varun Chouhan consult in Indore?
      He consults at Room No. 5, 1st Floor, Bombay Hospital, 94 Eastern Ring Road, Vijay Nagar, Indore — Monday to Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM. Call +91 73545 48869 to book.
      What is robotic knee replacement?
      Robotic knee replacement uses a robotic arm and 3D planning to position the implant with sub-millimetre precision. Benefits include a smaller incision, less pain, reduced blood loss, better alignment and a shorter hospital stay.
      Is robotic joint replacement available in Indore?
      Yes. Dr. Varun Chouhan performs robotic-assisted knee and hip replacement at Bombay Hospital, Indore, using advanced robotic and computer-navigation systems.
      How long does knee replacement recovery take?
      Most patients walk with support within 24–48 hours and resume routine activities in 6–8 weeks. Full recovery, including strength and stamina, typically takes 3–6 months with physiotherapy.
      When is knee replacement necessary?
      When advanced arthritis causes persistent pain, stiffness, deformity or difficulty walking that no longer responds to medicines, physiotherapy or injections, knee replacement is usually recommended.
      What is the difference between total and partial knee replacement?
      Total knee replacement resurfaces the whole joint; partial (unicondylar) replacement treats only the damaged compartment, preserving healthy bone and ligaments — suitable for selected patients with limited arthritis.
      How long does a knee implant last?
      Modern implants typically last 15–25 years. Precise robotic alignment, healthy body weight and regular follow-up help maximise implant life.
      Is knee replacement painful?
      Surgery is performed under anaesthesia. Modern pain-management protocols and minimally invasive techniques keep post-operative pain well controlled, and most patients are comfortable walking within a day or two.
      What is the cost of knee replacement in Indore?
      Cost varies with implant type, technique (conventional vs robotic) and room category. Transparent, itemised estimates are provided after consultation, and cashless insurance and EMI options are available.
      Does insurance cover joint replacement surgery?
      Most health insurance and mediclaim policies cover medically indicated joint replacement. Bombay Hospital offers cashless facility with major insurers, and our team assists with pre-authorisation.
      When is hip replacement needed?
      Hip replacement is advised for severe hip arthritis, avascular necrosis (AVN) or certain hip fractures causing constant pain, stiffness and walking difficulty despite conservative treatment.
      What is minimally invasive hip replacement?
      It uses smaller, muscle-sparing incisions to implant the artificial hip — resulting in less tissue damage, less pain and quicker mobilisation than traditional approaches.
      How soon can I walk after hip replacement?
      Most patients stand and take assisted steps within 24 hours. Walking independence typically returns over 2–6 weeks with physiotherapy.
      What is reverse shoulder replacement?
      A specialised shoulder replacement where the ball-and-socket geometry is reversed — ideal for patients with large, irreparable rotator cuff tears combined with arthritis.
      What is arthroscopy or keyhole surgery?
      Arthroscopy uses a small camera and instruments through tiny incisions to diagnose and treat joint problems such as ligament tears, meniscus injuries and rotator cuff damage — with faster recovery than open surgery.
      How long does arthroscopic surgery take to recover from?
      Most arthroscopic procedures are day-care or single-night admissions. Depending on the procedure, patients return to desk work within days and to sports in weeks to a few months.
      What is an ACL tear and does it always need surgery?
      The ACL stabilises the knee; tears commonly occur in sports. Active individuals and athletes usually benefit from ACL reconstruction, while selected low-demand patients may manage with structured physiotherapy.
      How long is recovery after ACL reconstruction?
      Walking begins within days; jogging by around 3 months; and return to competitive sport is usually possible in 6–9 months after completing rehabilitation milestones.
      Can a meniscus tear heal without surgery?
      Small tears in the outer, blood-supplied zone can heal with rest and physiotherapy. Larger or unstable tears causing locking or persistent pain often need arthroscopic repair or trimming.
      What is frozen shoulder and how is it treated?
      Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) causes progressive stiffness and pain. Treatment includes physiotherapy, medication and injections; resistant cases respond well to arthroscopic capsular release.
      What are the symptoms of a rotator cuff tear?
      Shoulder pain at night, weakness lifting the arm, and difficulty with overhead activities. Small tears may respond to rehab; larger tears usually need arthroscopic repair.
      How do I know if my fracture needs surgery?
      Displaced, unstable, joint-involving or open fractures usually need surgical fixation. An X-ray evaluation with an orthopedic surgeon confirms whether a cast or surgery is appropriate.
      How long does a fracture take to heal?
      Depending on the bone and treatment, most fractures heal in 6–12 weeks, with full function returning over 3–6 months with rehabilitation.
      What is arthritis and can it be treated without surgery?
      Arthritis is joint inflammation and cartilage wear. Early stages are managed with weight control, exercise, physiotherapy, medication and injections; surgery is reserved for advanced, function-limiting disease.
      What is the best age for knee replacement?
      There is no fixed age — the decision depends on pain, disability and X-ray findings. Most patients are 55–80, but younger patients with severe damage can also benefit with modern long-lasting implants.
      Is joint replacement safe for elderly or diabetic patients?
      Yes, with proper pre-operative assessment and optimisation. Bombay Hospital's ICU backup, anaesthesia team and infection-control protocols make surgery safe for high-risk patients.
      What happens if my old knee or hip implant fails?
      A worn, loosened or infected implant can be replaced through revision joint replacement — a specialised procedure Dr. Chouhan performs to restore stability and function.
      What tests are needed before joint replacement?
      Standard work-up includes blood tests, ECG, chest X-ray, joint X-rays and physician/anaesthesia fitness. Robotic surgery adds a CT-based or image-based 3D plan of your joint.
      How many days will I stay in hospital?
      Typically 2–4 days for knee or hip replacement with rapid-recovery protocols, and day-care to 1 day for most arthroscopic procedures.
      Can both knees be replaced at the same time?
      Simultaneous bilateral knee replacement is possible for medically fit patients and saves one hospitalisation. Suitability is decided after a fitness assessment.
      Will I be able to sit cross-legged after knee replacement?
      Many patients achieve deep flexion with high-flex implants and dedicated physiotherapy, but routine cross-legged sitting is generally discouraged to protect implant life. This is discussed individually.
      When can I drive after joint replacement?
      Usually 4–6 weeks after knee replacement and around 6 weeks after hip replacement, once you are off strong painkillers and can control the pedals confidently.
      When can I return to work after surgery?
      Desk jobs: typically 3–6 weeks after joint replacement, sooner after arthroscopy. Physically demanding work: 2–3 months, guided by your recovery milestones.
      What exercises help knee pain before surgery?
      Quadriceps strengthening, straight-leg raises, hamstring stretches and low-impact activity like cycling or swimming reduce pain and speed up post-surgery recovery. Download our free exercise guide above.
      Do you treat sports injuries for athletes?
      Yes. With sports-surgery fellowships from Porto and Lyon, Dr. Chouhan treats ACL/PCL tears, meniscus injuries, shoulder instability and cartilage damage with return-to-sport rehabilitation planning.
      Do you treat patients from outside Indore?
      Yes — patients regularly visit from Ujjain, Dewas, Mhow, Pithampur, Dhar, Ratlam, Khandwa, Khargone, Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh. Reports can be shared on WhatsApp for preliminary guidance before travelling.
