Led by Dr. Rajendra Abhyankar (39+ years) & Dr. Rushikesh Abhyankar — advanced knee and hip replacement for severe arthritis and joint damage.
When knee or hip pain from severe arthritis or joint damage starts limiting how you walk, climb stairs, or simply get through the day, joint replacement surgery can restore mobility and give you your independence back. At Purva Hospital, our orthopaedic team — led by Dr. Rajendra Abhyankar (39+ years of experience) and Dr. Rushikesh Abhyankar, fellowship-trained in robotic-assisted knee replacement — has been performing total knee and hip replacement surgery for the people of Kolhapur for decades. We take a careful, individualised approach: a thorough clinical evaluation, X-ray and diagnostic workup done in-house, and a treatment plan that considers your specific joint, your activity level, and your recovery goals — combining surgical precision with genuine, patient-first care.
Every joint replacement at Purva Hospital is supported by our fully equipped, sterile Operation Theatre, in-house digital X-Ray and pathology laboratory for pre-surgical workup, and a dedicated post-surgery follow-up program with physiotherapy referral to guide your recovery. With over 39 years of combined orthopaedic experience and fellowship training in robotic-assisted techniques, our team is equipped to manage both straightforward and complex joint replacement cases.

View Full Profile →Joint replacement is usually recommended when severe pain and stiffness from arthritis or joint damage limit your daily activities and haven't improved with medication, physiotherapy or other conservative treatment. Our orthopaedic specialists will examine your joint, review your X-rays, and discuss whether surgery — or a non-surgical option — is right for you.
Most patients begin standing and walking with support within a day or two of surgery, guided by a structured physiotherapy program. Full recovery typically continues over several weeks to a few months, depending on the joint replaced and your overall health — your surgeon will give you a personalised recovery timeline.
