 Hello friends, I am Dr. Kiran Chowka, Senior Orthopedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement Surgeon at Manipal Hospital, Eshwampur. Today, I will just take you guys through the process what happens when a patient gets admitted for the joint replacement surgery. At my center, we usually discharge the patient in 3 days if it is a single joint or else 4-5 days at the end for both the knees if it is replaced. What happens is, at the time of admission, usually we get the evaluation done before surgery, we get pre-insert check-up and once the patient is fit to undergo the surgery, we admit them the previous night so that the patient is comfortable the night, they will have a good sleep. In the morning, we take them for the surgery. The surgery usually takes around 60 minutes to 75 minutes for one joint and they will be staying in that OT complex for next 1-2 hours and then we shift directly them to the ward and then where their rehabilitation starts, the process of rehabilitation. The day one itself, if they are courageous or if they are confident enough, if they are comfortable, I make them stand, I make them walk a few steps at least the same evening. Next day morning, they are absolutely made to walk with a support and with our physiotherapist help and 48 hours from the time of surgery, I change the dressing and put a waterproof sticker with which my patients are allowed to take a shower, they can bathe and they can use the commode by themselves. They are even encouraged to walk all by themselves with a walker support. If they are even more confident, they can walk without the support. In fact, I almost like 95% of my patients, I encourage them to climb the stairs from day 2, that is 48 hours from the time of surgery. At the end of 72 hours, I discharge my patients if it is a single and 96 hours, that is 4 days or 3 to 4 days from the time of surgery, I discharge this patient who has underwent both the knee replacement surgery also. By doing this thing, the confidence level of the patients also increase and that also helps in the faster recovery for the post joint replacement surgery patients.
