Joint Replacement Surgery
When pain begins to interfere with walking, sitting, or even sleeping, it can affect every part of your day. With accurate diagnosis, we help patients regain comfort, mobility, and control over their lives.
At Aster Hospitals, our goal is to help you live a life where movement feels natural again. We perform joint replacement surgeries with precision, and support you from your first visit through final follow-up. Every patient is treated with attention, honesty, and long-term care.
We recommend total joint replacement surgery when other treatments no longer work. These are the most common conditions we treat.
Each condition is reviewed with care. We identify the source of pain and explain why surgery is the right next step.
Aster Hospitals is led by some of the most experienced orthopaedic doctors in Dubai, with decades of experience performing complex joint replacement surgeries.
We often use robotic assistance to help our surgeons plan and perform each step with greater precision. Smaller incisions are made, where possible, to protect soft tissues and reduce pain. These techniques are chosen carefully.
Before surgery, we take the time to explain the diagnosis to the patient and their family. We show you the affected joint and discuss the treatment plan.
During the surgery, our team uses advanced monitoring and safety protocols. After surgery, we begin rehabilitation without any delay.
Physiotherapists, pain experts, dietitians, and rehabilitation doctors form our recovery circle. Each specialist plays a different and critical role in your care plan. They coordinate closely and keep you informed. That is how we ensure recovery remains steady and transparent.
The cost of joint replacement surgery can often raise questions. Our team assists you with insurance approvals, documentation, claims, and financial planning, as required. At Aster Hospitals, you will always have clear answers to all your doubts and concerns.
We treat more than just one type of joint. Each joint serves a unique purpose, and each surgery must reflect that.
Performed when the cartilage in the knee is worn out. We offer both full and partial knee replacements, depending on the extent of the damage.
Doctors advise hip replacement surgery when the hip joint can no longer move smoothly, causing pain and imbalance. A durable implant restores comfort and stability.
Designed to support arm strength and range of motion in patients who have severe arthritis or injury.
Recommended when elbow stiffness or fracture limits daily activities. The new joint allows more freedom and less discomfort.
Performed in patients with advanced joint breakdown at the ankle. It improves balance and foot movement in walking.
Often performed in patients who experience loss of hand grip or wrist flexibility. It restores movement for writing, lifting, and personal care.
Every patient’s treatment begins with a full joint assessment. Our team assesses the extent of joint damage, bone health, joint alignment, and strength. This helps us devise/design the best treatment plan and offer timely support.
We begin with X-rays, MRIs, blood tests, and physical examinations. These confirm the diagnosis and help us determine the right implant requirement.
Each surgery is planned well. We measure the joint size and decide whether a full or partial replacement is required.
Our team handles joint replacement surgeries with utmost care and precision.
Our anaesthesia team monitors you closely while following international safety protocols. Nothing is left to chance.
We begin rehabilitation as soon as it is medically safe. Gentle movement supports circulation and encourages the replaced/new joint to adapt. Our clinical team monitors your recovery and adjusts the steps as needed to match your body’s response.
A strong result depends on consistent post-surgical care. Each step of the recovery process is planned and monitored by our team. We remain involved at every stage and take responsibility for your progress.
We begin movement-based therapy as early as possible. Each session is structured to build strength, improve control, and restore joint flexibility. Our therapists guide you through tailored routines that match your specific needs.
We measure your pain levels and respond without delay. Some patients benefit from medication, while others do better with guided exercises, posture adjustments, or rest. Each plan is customised to reduce discomfort and support healing.
Healing depends on how and what the body is fed. We advise simple food plans that support muscle growth, joint repair, and energy balance. It remains clear, sustainable, and tailored to your personal recovery goals.
You are not sent home with general advice. You receive a written plan with details on walking, sleeping, sitting, and standing.
Follow-up appointments and physiotherapy interventions are effective tools for improving your physical function, range of motion, and pain.
We understand the importance of cost planning. The joint replacement cost depends on implant type, surgical complexity, and the type and duration of hospital stay. Our hospitals work with most major insurance service providers across the UAE.
We clarify every stage before admission so that all your queries are effectively addressed. Our team prepares pre-approvals, handles claims, and discusses EMI options when available. We remove the guesswork so you can focus on healing.
A man who could barely walk now climbs stairs without stopping. A woman who had given up daily walks now finishes two rounds of the park. A teacher returned to class three months after surgery, cane-free and pain-free. Each patient shares one thing in common. They trusted the process. We gave them the structure, support, and strength to move forward and overcome major joint ailments.
Joint replacement surgery is a specialised procedure in which a damaged joint is replaced with an artificial implant. It helps restore movement, reduce pain, and improve the overall quality of life.
Our team specialises in offering knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, ankle, and wrist replacement services [depending on the condition of the patient].
If you are still struggling to walk, rest, or get through your day even after trying medicines or physiotherapy, it might be time to think about joint replacement surgery. It’s simply a step toward getting your comfort and mobility back.
Most joint replacement surgeries take between one to two hours. The length/duration of your hospital stay depends on your response and healing speed.
In a total joint replacement, the entire joint surface is replaced with an artificial implant. In a partial joint replacement, only the damaged portion is replaced while preserving the healthy areas.
Aster Hospitals use advanced robotic planning systems, precision surgical tools, and high-quality implants that are tested for safety, durability, and long-term support.
Robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery is similar to traditional joint replacement surgery. The difference between the two is that a robotic procedure is performed with assistance from a robotic arm that surgeons use for surgical incisions.
A robotic joint replacement offers greater surgical accuracy. The robot creates a 3D model of your joint, helping the surgeon place the implant exactly where it fits best. Moreover, the robotic arm helps guide movements, allowing the surgeon to operate more gently around muscles and ligaments.
No, arthroscopy isn’t a joint replacement surgery. It is a keyhole surgery used to check or repair your joints. Keyhole surgery is where only minor cuts are made into the body.
Arthroplasty is a broader term that refers to any surgical procedure to restore joint function, including reshaping or replacing the joint. Joint replacement is a type of arthroplasty.
Knee and hip replacements are the most common types of arthroplasty. Shoulder, elbow, and ankle replacements are performed less frequently.
