Understanding robotic knee replacement
Robotic knee replacement is a minimally invasive surgery that replaces a damaged knee joint using a robot-assisted, surgeon-controlled system.
A pre-op CT scan creates a 3D model of your knee. The surgeon designs a personalised implant plan, and the robotic arm executes the cuts and implant placement with accuracy traditional surgery cannot match.
Signs you may need robotic knee replacement
If your knee pain limits walking, sleeping or daily activities, robotic knee replacement may be the answer.
- Constant knee pain even at rest
- Difficulty walking or climbing stairs
- Stiffness after sitting
- Knee deformity (bow-leg or knock-knee)
- Swelling not responding to medication
- Failed previous treatments or injections
How robotic knee replacement is done in Delhi
60–90 minutes per knee, performed under spinal or general anaesthesia.
- Pre-op CT scan and 3D planning of your knee
- Personalised implant alignment is decided by the surgeon
- Small incision; robotic arm guides every bone cut
- Implant fitted, ligament balance checked in real time
- Wound closed with minimal sutures
Benefits of robotic knee replacement
Sub-mm precision, faster walking, less pain, longer-lasting implant.
- Sub-millimetre implant accuracy
- Smaller incision and minimal scarring
- Less blood loss and lower infection risk
- Walk within 24 hours of surgery
- Implants lasting 20–25+ years
- Natural-feeling knee movement
