Dr. Vibhu Bahl and his team are committed to ensuring you have all the information you need before, during, and after your treatment. A successful recovery depends on active patient participation and understanding. Please use this page to access frequently asked questions and general post-operative care instructions.
You should consult Dr. Bahl if you experience persistent joint pain, bone injuries, limited movement, swelling, or sports injuries that do not improve with rest.
No. While Dr. Bahl is a highly skilled surgeon, non-surgical options like physiotherapy, medications, and specialized injections are often the first line of treatment. Surgery is typically recommended only when conservative treatments no longer provide relief.
Procedures like arthroscopy use smaller incisions, which can result in a reduced risk of infection, less scarring, and a faster recovery time compared to traditional open surgeries.
The following are general guidelines. Always follow the specific, individualized instructions provided to you by Dr. Bahl and his medical team.
Rest & Elevation: For knee procedures, keep your leg elevated above your heart for the first two days by propping it up on 2 or 3 pillows. Do not let the leg hang down.
Bathing: You can generally remove your dressing after 2 days (48 hours) and take a shower, but follow specific clinic instructions regarding covering the incision with plastic wrap. Do not soak the joint in a bathtub or pool until the incisions are completely healed (usually at least 4 weeks).
Exercises: Unless told otherwise, start gentle range-of-motion exercises (like ankle pumps and straight leg raises) on the day of surgery to prevent blood clots and regain strength.
Returning to Activity: You can usually start other activities a week after surgery, but always talk with Dr. Bahl before driving, biking, or doing strenuous work.
