Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery in Mumbai

Introduction

Knee pain that does not improve with medication or physiotherapy can slowly limit everyday life. Walking short distances, climbing stairs, or even standing for long periods may become difficult. For many patients in Mumbai, advanced arthritis of the knee eventually affects independence and quality of life.

Knee replacement surgery has evolved significantly over the years. Robotic knee replacement surgery allows surgeons to plan and perform the procedure with greater accuracy compared to conventional methods. Instead of relying on visual judgement alone, robotic systems help personalise surgery based on each patient’s anatomy.

At HKS Clinic in Mumbai, robotic assisted knee replacement focuses on restoring natural movement, stability, and confidence rather than just replacing the joint.

What Is Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery

Robotic knee replacement surgery is an advanced technique where a robotic system assists the surgeon in performing a total knee replacement. The robot does not operate independently. It provides real time guidance to help the surgeon place the implant with high precision.

Before surgery, imaging and data are used to create a detailed plan. During surgery, the robotic system ensures bone cuts and implant positioning stay within the planned parameters. This helps improve joint balance and alignment.

Who May Need Robotic Knee Replacement

Robotic knee replacement may be recommended for patients with:

• Severe knee arthritis causing persistent pain

• Difficulty walking or standing

• Knee deformity such as bow legs or knock knees

• Poor response to medications and injections

• Advanced joint damage seen on X rays

Common Symptoms of Advanced Knee Arthritis

Patients commonly experience:

• Pain while walking or climbing stairs

• Stiffness after rest

• Swelling around the knee

• Reduced range of motion

• Night pain

When these symptoms persist, surgical evaluation becomes necessary.

How Robotic Knee Replacement Works

Pre Surgery Planning

A detailed assessment helps map the knee joint. Robotic planning allows the surgeon to decide implant size, position, and alignment before entering the operation theatre.

During Surgery

The surgeon performs the procedure using robotic guidance. The system provides feedback to ensure precise bone preparation while protecting surrounding tissues.

Implant Placement

Accurate implant positioning improves joint stability and helps achieve a more natural walking pattern.

Benefits of Robotic Knee Replacement Over Traditional Surgery

• Improved implant alignment

• Better joint balance

• Reduced soft tissue damage

• More predictable recovery

• Improved long term function

These benefits contribute to patient confidence during rehabilitation.

Step by Step Procedure Explained

1. Anaesthesia is administered

2. The knee joint is exposed carefully

3. Damaged bone and cartilage are removed

4. Robotic guidance assists bone preparation

5. Artificial knee components are placed

6. Joint movement and stability are checked

7. The incision is closed

The surgery usually takes one to two hours.

Recovery and Outcomes After Surgery

Hospital Stay

Most patients stay in hospital for two to four days.

Walking Timeline

Standing and walking with support usually begins within one day.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy starts early and continues for several weeks.

Return to Daily Activities

• Basic activities in two to three weeks

• Comfortable walking by six weeks

• Continued improvement over three months

Risks and Safety Considerations

Robotic knee replacement is safe when performed by an experienced surgeon. Possible risks include:

• Infection

• Blood clots

• Stiffness

• Implant related issues

Robotic planning helps reduce variability and improve safety, but all risks must be discussed.

FAQs

Is robotic knee replacement better than traditional knee replacement?

Robotic surgery improves precision and joint balance, which may enhance outcomes.

How long does a robotic knee replacement last?

Well placed implants can last fifteen to twenty years or longer.

When can I walk after knee replacement?

Most patients begin walking with support within one day after surgery.

Is robotic knee replacement suitable for elderly patients?

Yes. Age alone is not a limitation if overall health permits surgery.
