WHAT IS ERAS?

Why Does It Matter for Shimla Patients?

ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) is a globally proven, evidence-based clinical pathway that dramatically reduces hospital stay and recovery time.

At NHS Ortho Robotics, every knee and hip replacement follows our aggressive ERAS protocol — combining optimised anaesthesia, minimal blood loss, immediate physiotherapy, and early mobilisation. The results speak for themselves.

Standard Clinical Protocol Advantages

Restores mobility in a fraction of traditional recovery timelines
Minimizes surgical swelling and tissue trauma
Safe discharge to return home to Shimla quickly

CONDITIONS TREATED

Knee & Joint Conditions We Treat for Shimla Patients

Robotic knee and hip replacement is our flagship — but the journey often starts with a diagnosis. Whether you are in early-stage arthritis or have been suffering for years, we offer the right treatment for every stage.

Knee Osteoarthritis

The most common cause of knee pain in adults over 50. Cartilage wears away, causing bone-on-bone friction, pain, and stiffness. Treated from lifestyle advice through to CORI/Mako robotic total knee replacement depending on severity.

Hip Osteoarthritis

Groin pain, limping, and difficulty with stairs or getting in/out of a car. When conservative treatment fails, robotic hip replacement restores full, pain-free movement with next-day walking.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

An autoimmune condition causing joint inflammation, swelling, and progressive damage. Managed in coordination with rheumatology. When joints are severely damaged, robotic replacement offers lasting relief.

Ligament Injuries (ACL/PCL)

ACL and PCL tears from sports or trauma causing instability, swelling, and inability to bear weight. Surgical and non-surgical options assessed for every patient based on age, activity level, and injury severity.

Partial Knee Replacement

When arthritis affects only one compartment of the knee, a partial replacement preserves healthy bone and delivers faster recovery. Features CORI robotic precision for optimal outcomes.

Revision Joint Replacement

Previous knee or hip replacement that has failed, loosened, or become infected. Dr. Aggarwal's MCh (UK) training and 25,000+ case experience makes him one of Punjab's foremost revision specialists.

Not Every Knee or Hip Problem Needs Surgery

Dr. Aggarwal will assess your condition honestly and recommend the most appropriate treatment — whether that is physiotherapy, injections, or surgery.

PATIENT STORIES

Real Patients. Real Outcomes.

"I am from Shimla and had been told to go to Chandigarh or Delhi for robotic knee replacement. A friend told me about Dr. Aggarwal. His MCh UK training, the IGMC Shimla connection, the CORI robotic system — and the ERAS recovery that had me walking in 3 hours. I was back in Shimla on Day 2. No words for how grateful I am."

Ramesh Thakur Shimla · Total Knee Replacement

Walking 3 hrs post-op Day 2 Discharge

"Hip replacement for my mother from Shimla. We knew Dr. Aggarwal had performed the first robotic knee surgery in Himachal Pradesh at IGMC. That credential alone told us everything. Mother walked the next morning and was home in Shimla in 2 days. Outstanding."

THE IGMC SHIMLA CONNECTION — Pioneering Robotic Joint Replacement in Himachal Pradesh

Shimla — Himachal Patients Who Deserve World-Class Robotic Care

Himachal Pradesh has limited options for advanced robotic joint replacement. Most patients are directed to Chandigarh or Delhi — adding travel burden, cost, and stress to an already demanding process. What many Shimla patients do not know is that NHS Ortho Robotics in Jalandhar — 3.5 hours from Shimla — offers the same world-class robotic surgery at costs significantly lower than either city.

The IGMC Shimla Connection

Dr. Aggarwal performed the first live robotic total knee replacement in the history of Himachal Pradesh at a conference at IGMC Shimla — demonstrating the technique to orthopaedic surgeons from across the state. He has a direct relationship with Himachal Pradesh’s orthopaedic community and understands the specific needs of hill-station patients.

Shimla to Jalandhar — 175km via Kiratpur Sahib, 3.5 Hours

From Shimla, take the road to Kiratpur Sahib and then NH44 to Jalandhar — a 3.5-hour, well-connected drive through the foothills. With 2-day discharge, the total stay away from Shimla is just 2 nights — and all post-operative follow-up is managed via WhatsApp.

When Shimla’s Own Options Fall Short:
Shimla’s orthopaedic facilities do not currently offer advanced robotic joint replacement. The specific combination that discerning Himachal patients seek — MCh Orthopaedics from a UK university, CORI robotic system ranked in the global top 50, ERAS protocol delivering 3-hour walking after knee surgery, and an owner-surgeon model with full personal accountability — simply does not exist within Himachal Pradesh at any price point.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions from Shimla Patients

Why do Shimla patients choose Jalandhar over Chandigarh?

Chandigarh is 2.5 hours from Shimla. Jalandhar is 3.5 hours — just one hour more. But NHS Ortho Robotics offers MCh Orthopaedics from University of Dundee (UK), CORI + MAKO robotic access, ERAS protocol delivering 3-hour walking after knee surgery, and an owner-surgeon model at costs significantly lower than Chandigarh centres. For the one hour of additional travel, patients access a meaningfully higher standard of robotic surgical care.

Is it really true that patients walk within 3 hours of knee replacement?

Yes — this is our routine clinical outcome, not an exception. Our ERAS protocol combined with CORI robotic precision minimises trauma to surrounding tissue. Physiotherapy begins within hours of surgery. Most knee patients take their first assisted steps within 3 hours of leaving the operating theatre. This is our standard — verified by our patients every day.

How soon can I return to Shimla after surgery?

Single knee or hip replacement patients are typically discharged on Day 2. Bilateral patients on Day 3. You’ll travel home to Shimla comfortably by car, walking with confidence and a structured recovery plan. All subsequent follow-ups are managed via WhatsApp — no repeated travel needed.

What is the cost, and are packages available?

We offer transparent, all-inclusive surgery packages with no hidden charges — covering surgery, implant, anaesthesia, hospital stay, and physiotherapy. Single knee: ₹3.5–3.75 lakhs. Both knees: ₹4.5–5 lakhs. Hip replacement: ₹2.6–4.75 lakhs. Significantly lower than equivalent Chandigarh or Delhi centres. Contact us on +91 98142 09405 for a detailed quote.
