Topics

When conservative management is no longer effective and when to refer Clinical functional and imaging indicators for joint replacement Selecting and preparing patients for hip or knee replacement Conventional versus Mako robotic-assisted joint replacement A proposed UK clinically governed pathway to Apollo Hospitals Chennai

Gain practical guidance on recognising when patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis may benefit from an orthopaedic referral and how to prepare them for surgery, rehabilitation and return to function.

The webinar will also introduce a proposed UK clinically governed referral pathway for suitable patients considering joint replacement at Apollo Hospitals Chennai. The pathway aims to combine UK-based assessment and follow-up with access to a UK-trained surgeon, shorter waiting times and greater affordability than UK private treatment.

Apollo Hospitals Chennai is an internationally recognised tertiary hospital offering advanced Mako robotic-assisted joint replacement, multidisciplinary care and extensive experience supporting international patients.

The discussion will cover patient selection, informed choice, transparent pricing, clinical handover, continuity of care and clear complication pathways.
