Joint Replacement Surgery in Kadi | Dr. Jigar Gajjar (Gold Medalist)
Don't let arthritis limit your life. We use minimally invasive techniques and rapid-recovery protocols to get you walking pain-free within 24 hours."
Rediscover the Joy of Movement
“Chronic knee or hip pain doesn’t just hurt your body; it restricts your freedom. Whether it is Osteoarthritis requiring a knee replacement or Avascular Necrosis (AVN) needing a hip surgery, delaying treatment often leads to more stiffness.
Dr. Jigar Gajjar specializes in Muscle-Sparing Joint Replacement, a technique that ensures less pain, minimal blood loss, and a faster return to your daily activities. Our goal is not just to replace the joint, but to restore your lifestyle.”
Comprehensive Joint Care Solutions
- Total Knee Replacement (TKR):
- Replacing worn-out cartilage with high-grade implants (Gold Knee / Oxinium) to restore smooth, pain-free walking for severe arthritis patients.
Total Hip Replacement (THR):
Expert management for hip arthritis and AVN (loss of blood supply to the hip ball). We ensure leg length equality and a limp-free walk.
Partial Knee Replacement (Uni-Condylar):
For patients where only one side of the knee is damaged. We preserve the healthy bone and ligaments for a more ‘natural’ feeling knee.
Revision Joint Surgery:
Specialized correction for patients whose previous replacements (done elsewhere) have failed, become loose, or painful.
Rapid Recovery Protocol:
Our “Fast-Track” program includes multimodal pain management, allowing most patients to stand and walk on the same day of surgery.
Why Choose Dr. Jigar for Your Joint Replacement?
Gold-Medalist Precision:
Dr. Jigar Gajjar’s fellowship training focuses on perfect implant alignment, which is the key to a joint replacement that lasts 20-25 years.
Muscle-Sparing Approach:
We use advanced surgical windows (Subvastus approach) that avoid cutting major muscles, leading to quicker strength recovery.
Painless Recovery:
We use a special “Cocktail Injection” during surgery and advanced nerve blocks to ensure you experience minimal pain during rehabilitation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if it is the "right time" for knee or hip replacement?
You should consider surgery when pain begins to limit your daily activities—like walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair—and medications no longer provide relief. Waiting too long can cause your muscles to weaken, making recovery harder. If joint pain disturbs your sleep, it is time to consult Dr. Jigar Gajjar.
Can I sit on the floor (Palothi) or squat after knee replacement?
Yes. We use advanced “High-Flex” knee implants and specific surgical techniques that allow for a greater range of motion. With proper rehabilitation, many of our patients can comfortably sit cross-legged and perform religious or social activities on the floor.
How long will my new joint last?
With modern technology, joint replacements are incredibly durable. We use high-grade implants like Gold Knee (Titanium Niobium) or Oxinium, which typically last 20 to 25 years or more. This means for most patients, this is a one-time procedure for life.
Is it safe to get both knees operated on at the same time (Bilateral TKR)?
Yes, for most medically fit patients, we recommend Bilateral Total Knee Replacement. The advantage is a single anesthesia, one hospital stay, and a single recovery period. You heal both legs simultaneously and return to normal life faster than doing two separate surgeries.
How painful is the surgery and recovery?
We utilize a “Multimodal Pain Management” protocol. This includes a special “Cocktail Injection” directly into the joint during surgery and advanced nerve blocks. Most patients report feeling surprising comfort and are able to stand and walk without severe pain on the very same day.
How soon will I be able to walk after surgery?
Our goal is Rapid Recovery. We encourage patients to stand and take their first steps (with a walker) within 24 hours of the surgery. By the time of discharge (usually 3-4 days), most patients can walk to the bathroom and navigate their home independently.
Do you treat Avascular Necrosis (AVN) of the hip?
Yes. AVN (loss of blood supply to the hip ball) is common in young adults. If caught early, we can perform “Core Decompression” to save the natural hip. In advanced stages, we perform Total Hip Replacement using ceramic implants to ensure a limp-free, active life for young patients.
