SN Krishna Hospital's Joint Replacement Centre in Ujjain specialises in total and partial replacement of arthritic hips, knees, and shoulders. Our orthopaedic surgeons perform high-volume joint replacement surgery using proven implant systems, with outcomes monitored through a structured follow-up registry.
The centre combines specialist surgery with dedicated physiotherapy and rehabilitation to ensure patients recover strength and mobility as quickly as safely possible. Pre-operative optimisation, templating, and implant selection are conducted individually for each patient.
Conditions we treat
End-Stage Hip Osteoarthritis
Advanced hip joint degeneration causing groin pain, limp, and functional limitation.
Avascular Necrosis of the Hip
Loss of blood supply to the femoral head causing bone collapse requiring hip replacement.

Revision surgery for implant loosening, periprosthetic fracture, or infection after prior replacement.
Rheumatoid Arthritis with Joint Destruction
Inflammatory joint disease progressing to structural damage managed with joint replacement.
Treatments & procedures
Total Knee Replacement
Resurfacing all three compartments of the knee with metal and polyethylene implants for end-stage arthritis.
Total Hip Replacement
Replacement of the femoral head and acetabulum with cementless or cemented implants.
Partial (Unicompartmental) Knee Replacement
Resurfacing of only the affected compartment in suitable patients with isolated medial arthritis.
Revision Joint Replacement
Complex re-operation to remove and replace failed implants with bone grafting where needed.
How we treat our patients
Patients are assessed with weight-bearing X-rays and functional scoring to confirm that non-surgical management has been adequately tried. Pre-operative medical optimisation addresses anaemia, diabetes control, and medication management. Surgery is performed in a laminar-flow environment to minimise infection risk. Physiotherapy begins on the first post-operative day, and patients are discharged with a home exercise plan and follow-up milestones.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I am ready for joint replacement?
Consider joint replacement when pain significantly limits daily activities and adequate non-surgical treatment — physio, medications, injections — has not given lasting relief. Your orthopaedic surgeon will confirm readiness from X-rays and examination.
How long does recovery from knee replacement take?
Most patients walk with assistance by day two and return to light activity within six weeks. Full recovery takes three to six months.
What should I bring for my joint replacement admission?
Bring all X-rays and MRI images, blood reports, a list of medications, and your insurance or Ayushman card. Stop blood thinners as instructed before admission.
Is joint replacement surgery covered by Ayushman Bharat?
Total knee and hip replacement are covered under Ayushman Bharat for eligible beneficiaries. Our billing team handles pre-authorisation before the operation date.
How long does the implant last?
Modern implants typically last 15–20 years. Outcome depends on patient weight, activity level, and adherence to physiotherapy. Your surgeon will set realistic expectations.
