Post Orthopaedic Surgery Care at NEMA Transition Care, Gurgaon (2026)

You had the surgery. The orthopaedic surgeon did their job. The knee is replaced, the hip is fixed, the spine is fused. And now you are home — or trying to get there — and you are realising that the hard part is not over. It is just beginning.

Orthopaedic surgery recovery is demanding, precise, and unforgiving of mistakes. The physiotherapy must start at the right time and progress the right way. The wound needs trained nursing at every dressing change. The medications — painkillers, anticoagulants, anti-inflammatories — must be administered on a strict schedule. And falls, which are extremely common in the post-orthopaedic period, can undo weeks of surgical work in a single moment.

NEMA Transition Care in Gurgaon is built for exactly this phase. Here is what post-orthopaedic surgery care at NEMA looks like — and why it delivers outcomes that home care simply cannot match.

The Surgeries NEMA Manages

NEMA Transition Care manages post-operative recovery for the full range of orthopaedic procedures: total knee replacement and partial knee replacement, total hip replacement and hip resurfacing, spinal fusion, laminectomy and discectomy, shoulder replacement and rotator cuff repair, fracture fixation including hip fracture, wrist, ankle, and femur, and vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. Whether the surgery was performed at Medanta, Fortis, Artemis, Manipal, or any other Gurgaon hospital, NEMA builds the recovery programme from the operating surgeon's specific discharge instructions.

What NEMA Provides From Day One

A Room Ready Before You Arrive

Before a post-orthopaedic patient arrives at NEMA, the room is configured specifically for them. Bed at the correct height. Grab rails checked. Raised toilet seat in place. Walker or crutches at the bedside. Anti-slip mats positioned. Call bell within reach. The nursing team has already reviewed the discharge summary. The physiotherapist has already been briefed. The kitchen has the dietary plan ready. When the patient walks — or is wheeled — through the door, NEMA is already running.

24/7 Nursing — Every Hour, Including the Night

Post-orthopaedic patients need nursing care around the clock — not just during the day. Medications at 6 AM, at midnight, at 2 AM. Wound checks. Vital sign monitoring twice daily. Assistance with getting to the bathroom at night — when the fall risk is highest. NEMA's qualified nurses are physically present on-site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not on-call. Not reachable by phone. Present — on the floor, watching, responding.

Physiotherapy Five Days a Week — Built for Your Specific Surgery

This is the heart of orthopaedic recovery at NEMA. A qualified physiotherapist works one-on-one with each patient five days a week. The programme is built specifically around the patient's surgery — the surgical approach used, the implant type, the surgeon's weight-bearing protocol, and the patient's age, baseline strength, and week-by-week progress. It is not a generic exercise sheet. It is a living, progressive rehabilitation programme that changes weekly as the patient improves.

For knee replacement patients: passive range of motion in week one, progressive active exercises and stair training by week three, full ambulation and functional independence by week six to eight. For hip replacement patients: strict hip precaution enforcement from every team member, safe transfer techniques, progressive gait training. For spinal surgery patients: log-rolling for every transfer, brace management, carefully calibrated back strengthening. Between formal physiotherapy sessions, NEMA's nursing attendants supervise prescribed exercises — so the patient is rehabilitating throughout the day, not just during the therapist's hour.

Professional Wound Care — Every Time, Sterile

Orthopaedic surgical wounds are among the highest-risk for infection — particularly in diabetic, elderly, or immunocompromised patients. At NEMA, every dressing change is performed by a trained nurse using full sterile technique, with the wound inspected, photographed, and documented at each change. Any redness, warmth, discharge, or odour that suggests early infection is escalated immediately to the treating surgeon. Catching an infection on day four is very different from catching it on day ten.

Anti-DVT Protocol — Because Blood Clots Don't Announce Themselves

Deep vein thrombosis is one of the most serious and most common complications of orthopaedic surgery — particularly knee and hip replacement. NEMA's anti-DVT protocol runs from day one: anticoagulant medications administered on the exact prescribed schedule, anti-embolism stockings, ankle pump exercises supervised by the nursing team, and early ambulation progressed as the physiotherapy programme allows. The nursing team monitors daily for leg swelling, warmth, or pain that suggests developing DVT.

Nutrition That Heals

Bone heals with calcium and Vitamin D. Wounds heal with protein. Haemoglobin recovers with iron. Energy for physiotherapy demands adequate calories. NEMA's in-house chefs prepare three to five freshly cooked meals daily, planned around each patient's specific post-orthopaedic nutritional requirements and medical conditions — diabetic-appropriate, cardiac-appropriate, high-protein, or renal-restricted, depending on what the patient needs.

Fall Prevention: The Single Biggest Risk in Orthopaedic Recovery

A fall after knee replacement can rupture the wound. A fall after hip replacement can dislocate the new joint. A fall after spinal surgery can cause implant failure. These are not rare catastrophes — they are well-documented, preventable events that happen when patients recover in environments not designed for post-orthopaedic safety.

NEMA's facilities are comprehensively fall-proofed by design. Grab rails in every bathroom and corridor. Anti-slip flooring throughout. Adjustable beds at the optimal height. Raised toilet seats. Call bells within reach from every position. Trained staff who assist with every transfer using correct technique. The typical Indian home — with uneven floors, low toilets, no grab rails, and steep staircases — is the opposite of this. NEMA eliminates the fall risk; home recovery manages it by hope.

What Families Say

"My father had a total knee replacement at Medanta. His surgeon recommended NEMA and we admitted him the same day of discharge. The physiotherapy was exceptional — precise, progressive, and genuinely targeted to his surgery. He was walking independently with a stick in five weeks. His surgeon said the range of motion outcome was in the top tier of what he sees. NEMA is the reason." — Family from South Delhi

"My mother had a hip replacement and has Type 2 diabetes. The wound care at home was terrifying us — we had no idea if we were doing it correctly. At NEMA, trained nurses changed her dressing every day with proper technique. No infection. Perfect healing. Her orthopaedic surgeon was genuinely impressed at the four-week review." — Family from Noida
