Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take for my child to recover from joint replacement surgery?
Recovery timelines vary depending on the complexity of the surgery and your child’s individual progress. Dr. Chandak will provide a personalized recovery plan outlining milestones and expected timeframe.
What can I do at home to help my child recover after joint replacement surgery?
Creating a safe and supportive home environment is key. This may involve using assistive devices like grab bars or shower chairs initially. Following the physical therapy exercises regularly and maintaining a healthy diet are also important for optimal healing.
What are some potential risks and complications associated with joint replacement surgery in children?
As with any surgery, there are risks like infection, bleeding, and anesthesia complications. Additionally, there’s a possibility of loosening or dislocation of the implant over time, which might necessitate future revision surgery. Dr. Chandak will discuss these risks in detail before obtaining your consent.

Increased pain, redness, swelling, fever, or drainage from the incision site are potential signs of infection. It’s crucial to contact Dr. Chandak immediately if you notice any of these concerns.
How can I ensure my child's new joint replacement lasts as long as possible?
Maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding strenuous activities that could stress the implant, and following Dr. Chandak’s instructions regarding weight-bearing and activity limitations are crucial for maximizing the longevity of the joint replacement.
What are some advancements in joint replacement technology for children?
Advancements are being made in using modular implants that can be adjusted as the child grows. Research is also ongoing to develop more durable and biocompatible materials for joint replacements, potentially increasing their lifespan.
