Elbow replacement surgery replaces a damaged elbow joint with a metal and plastic hinge, mostly to relieve pain from rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis or a severe fracture.

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust says that elbow replacement is most commonly done for rheumatoid arthritis, and also for osteoarthritis or after a fracture, with pain relief as the main aim.

The artificial joint is normally a metal and plastic hinge.

The Oxford leaflet describes weaning off a sling over three to six weeks, driving and work after about six to eight weeks and improvement for up to a year, with a lifelong lifting limit of about 2.5 kg for that arm.

It reports deep infection in up to 5 in 100, long-term ulnar nerve symptoms in up to 5 in 100 and loosening in nearly 10 in 100 by five years.

Flying home: aviation guidance sets no single wait for bone and joint operations, but leg surgery makes clots on long flights more likely, so ask how to prevent them; UK Civil Aviation Authority medical guidance suggests 24 to 48 hours after a plaster cast.

A Gurgaon quote for elbow replacement surgery is normally made up of these items:

• Tests before the operation: X-rays, other scans and an anaesthetic check.
• Theatre and anaesthetic: charged mainly by operating time.
• Rehabilitation: physiotherapy on the ward and once you leave.
• Implant: type and brand.
• Reason: arthritis or fracture.
• Stay: a few days.
• Physiotherapy: and lifelong lifting limits.

Ask each Gurgaon hospital for an itemised estimate showing any implant, surgeon, theatre, stay and physiotherapy, so offers can be compared fairly.

Orthopaedic departments in Gurgaon cover joint replacement, arthroscopy and trauma, usually with in-house physiotherapy so that patients start moving soon after surgery.

NABH, the hospital accreditation board of the Quality Council of India whose standards carry ISQua accreditation, sets the national benchmark for hospitals, and its online directory shows whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is still current.

Gurgaon is part of Delhi NCR, where India's first hospital to gain Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation did so in 2005, and JCI publishes a searchable list of the organisations it currently accredits.

Gurgaon was officially renamed Gurugram by the Haryana government in 2016, so hospital letters, maps and taxi apps may use either name.
