Joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which the damaged surfaces of a worn or arthritic joint are removed and replaced with prosthetic components like metal and medical-grade plastic that are designed to replicate the natural movement of a healthy joint. Joint replacement is considered when cartilage loss has progressed to the point where bone is grinding against bone, causing persistent pain, stiffness, and loss of function that no longer responds to physiotherapy, medication, or injections.
The joint replacement team at Apex evaluates each patient individually before making any surgical decision. Weight-bearing X-rays, clinical examination and a detailed discussion of the patient's functional limitations and goals form the basis of surgical planning. Apex offers both conventional and computer-navigated joint replacement, where real-time intraoperative tracking verifies implant alignment and joint balance before final fixation. For eligible patients looking for a joint replacement hospital in Mumbai, robotic-assisted knee replacement using the Cuvis Robotic System is available. The surgical team creates a 3D preoperative plan mapped to the patient's specific bone anatomy, and the robotic system provides intraoperative boundary guidance as bone preparation and implant placement are carried out. The surgeon directs every step. The technology supports planning and execution; clinical judgement determines the procedure.
Dedicated operation theatres with laminar flow ventilation support all joint replacement procedures at Apex, reducing infection risk during surgery. Full-time joint replacement consultants are available across the group's Mumbai facilities in Borivali, Kandivali and Mulund.
