Hard numbers on outcomes: 15,000+ knee replacements performed by Dr Hardik Shah, 95%+ patient satisfaction, and implant survival backed by published registry data.
“Success” in knee replacement isn’t a single metric — it’s a combination of pain relief, restored function, implant longevity, and patient satisfaction. Dr Hardik Shah tracks every patient through structured follow-ups at 6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, and annually for life.

WHAT DRIVES RESULTS
Why Dr Hardik Shah's Success Rate is Higher
Surgical success isn’t luck — it’s the result of precision, experience, and long-term care. Five factors explain why outcomes at DHS Multispecialty Hospital consistently outperform regional and national benchmarks:
Dr Hardik Shah's Revision Experience
1. Robotic-Assisted Precision
The VELYS robotic system reduces implant malpositioning by 85%. Better alignment means less wear, less pain, and longer implant life.
2. Deep Specialisation
Dr Shah exclusively focuses on joint replacement — not a generalist splitting time between trauma, spine, and sports medicine. 15,000+ knees is elite-level volume.
3. Personalised Implant Selection
Not every knee gets the same implant. We match implant brand, size, and material to your anatomy, activity level, and age.
4. Comprehensive Rehabilitation
Structured physiotherapy starting day 1 post-op, with detailed home programmes and regular progress checks. No patient is left to figure it out alone.
5. Lifetime Follow-Up
Annual review appointments track your implant for life. Catching issues early means they almost never become problems.
Your Candidacy, Honestly Assessed
Not everyone is an ideal candidate for surgery. Dr Shah gives honest advice — sometimes recommending non-surgical care first. A candid consultation is the best place to start.
