Pre-Op & Post-Op Counselling
Clarity. Confidence. Care.
At The Joint Replacement Centre, we believe that great outcomes start with great preparation. That’s why we offer dedicated Pre-Operative and Post-Operative Counselling to every patient undergoing joint replacement or orthopaedic surgery.
Our goal is simple — to make sure you walk into surgery fully informed, emotionally ready, and come out of it with a clear roadmap for recovery.
Why Counselling Matters in Orthopaedic Surgery
Joint replacement can be a major decision filled with uncertainty, especially for first-time patients. Pre-op and post-op counselling ensures:
- Better understanding of the procedure
- Reduced fear and anxiety
- Enhanced cooperation with rehab protocols
- Faster, more confident recovery
With us, you’re never in the dark. You’re empowered every step of the way.
Pre-Operative Counselling – Prepare with Confidence
Before surgery, our team — led by Dr. Mukund Agrawal — walks you through:
- The condition of your joint and why surgery is recommended
- Robotic vs conventional surgical options
- Expected outcomes, risks, and benefits
- Pre-surgery fitness and dietary plans
- Step-by-step explanation of hospital stay and discharge process
- Addressing doubts, fears, and myths about joint replacement
You’ll know what to expect, and how to get ready — physically and mentally.
Post-Operative Counselling – Guided Healing
After surgery, the real journey begins. Our counselling ensures you:
- Understand your rehabilitation and physiotherapy plan
- Learn correct postures, precautions, and mobility tips
- Receive emotional support and motivation for recovery
- Get nutritional guidance for bone and muscle healing
- Track your milestones and set realistic goals
- Know when to resume work, travel, or physical activity
We help you build confidence, avoid complications, and achieve your best recovery.
