Overview

What Is Robotic Knee Replacement?

Knee replacement surgery involves removing damaged cartilage and bone from the knee joint and replacing it with an artificial implant. Dr. Sumit uses robotic-assisted technology to plan implant position based on each patient's anatomy.

Who Needs This?

  • Severe knee arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid, or post-traumatic)
  • Constant knee pain interfering with daily activities
  • Pain while climbing stairs, walking, or sleeping
  • Non-surgical treatments have stopped working
  • X-rays showing significant joint damage or bone-on-bone contact

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is robotic surgery safe?

Robotic-assisted surgery is an established technique. The robotic arm works within pre-planned boundaries. Like any surgery, it carries risks, which are discussed before the procedure.

How long does surgery take?

Approximately 60–90 minutes under spinal or general anaesthesia.

Will I feel the implant?

Many patients typically get used to the implant within a few months. Some awareness of the knee is common.

What is the right age?

There is no minimum age. The decision is based on quality of life, not age.
