Joint reconstruction surgery is a broad term for operations that repair or rebuild a damaged joint, including ligament reconstruction, cartilage repair, osteotomy or joint replacement.

The term can describe ligament reconstruction including ACL reconstruction, cartilage repair including mosaicplasty, osteotomy to realign a joint, and partial or total joint replacement.

The choice depends on the joint, the cause of damage, age, activity and the condition of the rest of the joint, planned with X-rays and MRI, and physiotherapy and other non-surgical care are commonly tried first; this page is not based on a specific clinical leaflet.

Recovery ranges widely, from a few weeks after keyhole surgery to many months after major reconstruction or replacement.

Possible risks include infection, blood clots, stiffness, nerve or blood vessel injury and failure of a graft or implant.

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 joint reconstruction 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.
• Implant choice: brand and type of joint, plate or screws.
• Rehabilitation: physiotherapy on the ward and once you leave.
• Operation: ligament, cartilage, bone or replacement.
• Joint: knee, hip, shoulder or other.
• Implants or grafts: if used.
• Physiotherapy: for weeks to months.

Ask each Gurgaon hospital for an itemised estimate showing any implant or graft, 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.
