Knee Replacement
Knee replacement surgery is typically recommended when:
Severe knee pain limits daily activities
Conservative treatments no longer provide relief
Significant stiffness restricts movement
Advanced arthritis is visible on X-rays
Quality of life is significantly affected
Dr. Bali will thoroughly evaluate your condition before recommending surgery.
A typical knee replacement surgery takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. However, you should plan for additional time for pre-operative preparation and post-operative monitoring. Most patients stay in the hospital for 2-3 days after surgery.
Recovery varies for each patient, but generally:
Walking with support: 1-2 days after surgery
Hospital discharge: 2-3 days
Walking without support: 4-6 weeks
Return to normal activities: 3-6 months
Full recovery: 6-12 months
Physical therapy plays a crucial role in faster recovery.
Modern knee implants are designed to last 20-25 years or longer with proper care. Factors affecting implant longevity include patient's weight, activity level, and following post-operative guidelines. Regular follow-ups help ensure optimal implant function.
Hip Replacement
Common causes include:
Osteoarthritis (wear and tear)
Rheumatoid arthritis
Avascular necrosis (loss of blood supply to bone)
Hip fractures
Childhood hip diseases
Total Hip Replacement: Both the femoral head (ball) and acetabulum (socket) are replaced with artificial components. This is the most common type.
Partial Hip Replacement: Only the femoral head is replaced, while the natural socket is preserved. This is typically done for certain hip fractures.
Dr. Bali will recommend the best option based on your specific condition.
Yes, most patients return to their normal activities after recovery. You can expect to:
Walk, climb stairs, and drive
Perform daily activities without pain
Engage in low-impact exercises like swimming and cycling

Arthritis Management
Early warning signs include:
Joint pain that worsens with activity
Morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes
Swelling around joints
Reduced range of motion
Clicking or grinding sounds in joints
Early detection and treatment can slow disease progression.
Yes, many patients manage arthritis effectively without surgery through:
Surgery is considered only when conservative treatments fail.

Reduced pain and inflammation
Promoted tissue healing
