Knee Replacement
Knee arthroplasty resurfaces the worn ends of the joint with metal and high-density polyethylene, keeping the healthy ligaments and muscle wherever possible — in total, partial (unicondylar) or revision form.

Profile
Meet your surgeon — Dr. Hiren Patel, MS (Ortho.)
Dr. Hiren Patel — MBBS, MS (Ortho.) from B.J. Medical College, Ahmedabad — is Director & Head Joint Replacement Surgeon at PMG Hospital, Gota, a hospital he founded for bone and joint care. His further qualification is an International Fellowship in Joint Replacement, and he trained in joint replacement in France, Switzerland, Italy and South Korea.
Consultations begin with your X-rays and your daily routine rather than a treatment plan. Many people with joint pain are first treated with medicines, weight management and physiotherapy, and an operation is discussed once these no longer control the symptoms and the X-rays show matching damage.

Our specialities
Three joints, nine procedures — one surgeon who does them every week
Knee, hip and shoulder replacement each come in total, partial and revision forms. Which one suits a joint depends on how much of it is worn, which is decided after an examination and X-rays.
| Joint | Total | Partial | Revision |
|---|---|---|---|
| Knee | Total knee replacement | Partial (unicondylar) | Revision knee replacement |
| Hip | Total hip replacement | Partial (hemiarthroplasty) | Revision hip replacement |
| Shoulder | Total (anatomic) | Partial (hemiarthroplasty) | Revision & reverse |
Hip Replacement
Hip arthroplasty replaces the worn ball-and-socket with a stem, a ceramic or metal head, and a socket cup — as a total, partial (hemiarthroplasty) or revision procedure.

Shoulder Replacement
Shoulder arthroplasty replaces the damaged ball and socket, with the choice between anatomic, partial and reverse driven almost entirely by the state of your rotator cuff.

What ROSA does
Robotic-assisted knee replacement with ROSA
ROSA, the Robotic Surgical Assistant, measures your knee during surgery. It does not replace the surgeon. Here is what it is for:
- Measures your knee during surgery
- Shows implant size, position and leg alignment against the pre-operative plan
- A planning aid — every decision still rests with the surgeon
TriNova
TriNova — three decisions made in theatre, not in the brochure
How much of your knee is disturbed during surgery is settled by three choices — the robot, the approach and the tourniquet. TriNova is all three, applied to knee replacement where they suit the knee.
Robotic assistance
ROSA measures the knee live during surgery, so the surgeon can compare the bone cuts, implant position and leg alignment with the plan.
Subvastus approach
The knee is opened underneath the vastus medialis instead of cutting through the quadriceps tendon.
Tourniquet-less surgery
The operation is done without a thigh tourniquet, so blood keeps flowing to the leg during the operation.

How the OPD works
What happens at a joint replacement consultation
The first visit is an assessment, not a booking. These are the things it covers:
- An examination, your X-rays and a discussion of how the joint affects your day
- Whether treatment without surgery is still worth continuing
- If an operation is advised, which type suits the joint, and its risks and recovery
- A written, itemised estimate before admission
- Gujarati, Hindi and English spoken at the hospital
