Hard numbers on outcomes: 15,000+ knee replacements performed by Dr Hardik Shah, 95%+ patient satisfaction, and implant survival backed by published registry data.
"Success" in knee replacement isn't a single metric — it's a combination of pain relief, restored function, implant longevity, and patient satisfaction. Dr Hardik Shah tracks every patient through structured follow-ups at 6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, and annually for life.
| Metric | Global Average | DHS / Dr Hardik Shah |
|---|---|---|
| Patient Satisfaction (1 year) | 85-90% | 95%+ |
| Implant Survival at 10 years | 94-96% | 97%+ (robotic cohort) |
| Implant Survival at 20 years | 82-85% | Data collection ongoing |
| Major Complication Rate | 3-5% | <2% |
| Infection Rate | 0.5-1.5% | <0.5% |
| Revision Rate at 10 years | 3-5% | <3% |
| Return to Walking (unassisted) | 8-12 weeks | 6-8 weeks (robotic) |
| Hospital Stay | 3-5 days | 2-3 days |

Surgical success isn't luck — it's the result of precision, experience, and long-term care. Five factors explain why outcomes at DHS Multispecialty Hospital consistently outperform regional and national benchmarks:
The VELYS robotic system reduces implant malpositioning by 85%. Better alignment means less wear, less pain, and longer implant life.
Dr Shah exclusively focuses on joint replacement — not a generalist splitting time between trauma, spine, and sports medicine. 15,000+ knees is elite-level volume.
Not every knee gets the same implant. We match implant brand, size, and material to your anatomy, activity level, and age.
Structured physiotherapy starting day 1 post-op, with detailed home programmes and regular progress checks. No patient is left to figure it out alone.
Annual review appointments track your implant for life. Catching issues early means they almost never become problems.
Not everyone is an ideal candidate for surgery. Dr Shah gives honest advice — sometimes recommending non-surgical care first. A candid consultation is the best place to start.
90-95% at 10 years, depending on implant, technique, and patient factors. Robotic-assisted techniques push the high end of this range.
Modern implants last 15-25+ years with proper care. Robotic-assisted alignment further extends lifespan by reducing wear.
Most common causes: implant loosening, infection, wear, or dislocation. Precise alignment and patient selection dramatically reduce all of these.
Low-impact sports (cycling, swimming, golf, doubles tennis, hiking) — yes. High-impact sports (running, singles tennis, jumping) — generally discouraged to preserve implant life.
3-5% at 10 years, 10-15% at 20 years. With robotic precision, these numbers trend lower.
Results depend on the right diagnosis, the right technique, and the right patient selection. Book a candid review with Dr Shah.
