Andheri is one of Mumbai's busiest commercial and residential corridors. Patients here have multiple hospital options, but finding a dedicated joint replacement specialist who trained internationally and performs these surgeries regularly requires looking beyond the hospital name. Here is what Andheri patients need to know.

Two Criticare Locations in Andheri

Why Andheri Patients Choose Dr. Anuj Singh

Andheri has several orthopedic surgeons. What sets Dr. Anuj Singh apart for joint replacement specifically:

• Three dedicated fellowships: ISAKOS Fellowship in Joint Replacement, Fellowship in Knee Replacement, Fellowship in Hip Replacement. These go well beyond a standard MS Orthopedics degree.
• USA training in DAA hip replacement: Trained at Arizona Surgical Training Institute with Dr. Jimmy Chow (pioneer of SuperPATH). Also trained at Hedley Orthopedic Institute.
• Exclusive joint replacement focus: Not general orthopedics. Every consultation, every surgery plan, every recovery protocol is designed specifically for hip and knee replacement patients.
• Partial knee resurfacing capability: Among the few surgeons in Mumbai performing this joint-preserving procedure. Preserves 2/3rd of bone and cartilage.

DAA Hip Replacement at Criticare Hospital

The Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) for hip replacement is one of the most significant advancements in orthopedic surgery in the last decade. Instead of cutting through muscles to reach the hip joint, the surgeon enters from the front through a natural muscle interval. The result:

• Patients walk within 24 hours, often the same day
• No strict hip precautions: sit, bend, and move naturally almost immediately
• Virtually zero dislocation risk because posterior stabilizers remain untouched
• Hospital discharge within 24 to 48 hours
• Significantly less post-operative pain

DAA is technically demanding. Not every surgeon in Andheri offers it. If your hip surgeon only performs the posterior approach, get a second opinion from someone trained in DAA. You deserve to know all your options.

Knee Replacement Technology

At both Criticare locations, Dr. Anuj Singh offers:

• Ceramic knee replacement: Superior wear resistance, less particle debris, longer implant life. Best for younger, active patients.
• Golden knee replacement: Gold-coated titanium for exceptional biocompatibility. Ideal for patients with metal allergies or sensitivities.
• High flexion implants: Up to 155 degrees of bending for Indian lifestyle needs (squatting, cross-legged sitting).
• KNE3WIZ 3D pre-surgical planning: Precise implant sizing and positioning mapped to your exact bone anatomy before surgery.

Rapid Recovery: Walking Within Hours

his Minimally Invasive Rapid Recovery Protocol means:

• Standing and bearing weight within 4 to 6 hours of surgery
• No muscle cutting: smaller incisions, less pain, less blood loss
• Discharge within 24 to 48 hours
• Early return to daily activities with minimal physiotherapy
