Frequently Asked Questions
Dr. Abhishek Bhalotia is a UK-trained Orthopedic & Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon based in Gondia, with over a decade of experience and 2,000+ robotic joint replacement surgeries successfully performed.
He specializes in robotic knee replacement, robotic hip replacement, shoulder arthroscopy, sports injury surgeries, complex trauma care, and regenerative orthopedic treatments.
Robotic knee replacement is an advanced surgical technique where a robotic-assisted system helps achieve greater precision, alignment, and longevity of implants, compared to traditional surgery.
Robotic replacement ensures smaller incisions, faster recovery, better implant accuracy, reduced pain, and improved long-term results.
Patients with severe arthritis, chronic joint pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility despite medications and physiotherapy may need knee replacement.
There are different types like cemented, uncemented, partial, and customized implants. Dr. Bhalotia recommends the most suitable option based on your age, activity level, and bone quality.
Most patients are able to walk within 24 hours after surgery and resume normal activities in 4–6 weeks.
Hip replacement involves replacing the damaged hip joint with an artificial implant, helping patients regain mobility and live pain-free.
Yes, robotic hip replacement ensures better alignment, less tissue damage, and faster recovery, compared to traditional surgery.
If you suffer from persistent hip pain, stiffness, or difficulty walking, despite medication and therapy, you may need an evaluation for hip replacement.
It is a minimally invasive surgery performed using a camera and small instruments to repair shoulder injuries like rotator cuff tears, ligament injuries, and dislocations.
Ortho-biologics involve advanced regenerative treatments like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and stem cell therapy that help heal cartilage, ligaments, and tendons naturally.
In some cases, early arthritis and injuries can be managed with physiotherapy, injections, lifestyle changes, or biologics. Dr. Bhalotia evaluates all options before recommending surgery.
The cost depends on type of implant, hospital stay, and surgical approach. Robotic surgeries may cost slightly more but provide better long-term results.
Patients are advised to undergo medical checkups, physiotherapy, and nutrition counseling before surgery for better outcomes.
Most patients stay 3–5 days in the hospital after robotic joint replacement.
Yes, post-surgery physiotherapy is essential to restore mobility, strengthen muscles, and achieve the best recovery.
Some patients skip physiotherapy, delay follow-ups, or ignore lifestyle changes, which can affect long-term results.
Maintaining a healthy weight, balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding high-impact activities helps extend implant life.
Yes, you can engage in low-impact sports like swimming, cycling, and walking. High-impact sports should be avoided.
AVN is a condition where bone tissue dies due to lack of blood supply, commonly affecting the hip. Treatments range from medications, biologics, to hip replacement in advanced cases.
He is a pioneer of robotic joint replacement in India, with international training, advanced technology, and a track record of 10,000+ patients treated successfully.
