Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery

Traditionally, cardiac surgery required significant incisions and prolonged hospital stays. Today, VS Hospitals utilizes advanced endoscopic and robotic systems to perform complex repairs through incisions no larger than a few centimeters. This approach significantly reduces the risk of infection and minimizes post-operative pain.

How It Works:

• A 3D model of your knee is created before surgery
• The surgeon uses robotic guidance to plan the procedure
• The robotic arm assists in precise bone cutting and implant placement
• The surgeon remains in full control at all times

This technology allows for better alignment, minimal tissue damage, and faster recovery compared to traditional methods.

Robotic-assisted knee surgery is recommended for patients with severe joint damage who need more precision and better outcomes.

• Severe and persistent knee pain
• Difficulty walking or climbing stairs
• Joint stiffness and swelling
• Poor response to medications or physiotherapy
• Reduced quality of life

The goal is not just pain relief—but restoring natural knee movement and long-term joint function.

Doctors at VS Hospitals may recommend robotic total knee replacement when:

• Pain persists even at rest
• Daily activities are severely limited
• Knee deformity affects movement
• Non-surgical treatments fail
• Long-term precision and implant longevity are prioriti

Robotic knee replacement surgery may not be suitable in cases of:

• Active infection
• Severe uncontrolled medical conditions
• Poor bone quality
• Inability to undergo rehabilitation

A detailed evaluation is required before proceeding.

1. Robotic Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
Entire joint replaced
Ideal for advanced arthritis

2. Robotic Partial Knee Replacement (PKR)
Only damaged portion replaced
Preserves healthy bone

3. Robotic Bilateral Knee Replacement
Both knees replaced using robotic precision

4. Robotic Revision Knee Replacement
Replaces failed implants with high accuracy

Medical Evaluation

• Blood tests, scans, and 3D imaging
• Full health assessment

Medication Review

• Stop blood thinners if advised

Physical Preparation

• Strengthening exercises
• Pre-surgery physiotherapy

Home Preparation

• Arrange support
• Remove fall hazards

Lifestyle Changes

• Quit smoking
• Maintain healthy weight
• Eat a balanced diet

Before Surgery

• 3D imaging of the knee
• Surgical planning using robotic software
• Anesthesia administered

During Surgery

• Small incision made
• Robotic system guides bone preparation
• Damaged tissue removed with precision
• Implant placed accurately
• Knee movement tested
• Incision closed

After Surgery

• Recovery monitoring
• Pain management
• Physiotherapy begins within 24 hours

Surgery typically takes 1–2 hours.

Even with advanced technology, some risks remain:

Common Risks

• Swelling and mild pain
• Blood clots
• Infection

Rare Risks

• Implant loosening
• Nerve damage
• Persistent discomfort

Risk Reduction

At VS Hospitals, experienced surgeons and advanced protocols help minimize complications.

Week 1–2

• Walking with support
• Early exercises

Week 3–6

• Improved mobility
• Reduced dependence on support

Week 6–12

• Resume daily activities

3–6 Months

• Strength and flexibility improve

Full Recovery

• Up to 6–12 months, often faster than traditional surgery

Proper care after surgery ensures smooth knee replacement recovery.

The knee replacement cost for robotic surgery is slightly higher due to advanced technology.

Average Cost:

Single knee: ₹2,50,000 – ₹4,50,000
Both knees: ₹5,00,000 – ₹8,00,000

At VS Hospitals, patients receive advanced robotic treatment with cost-effective care and expert support.

After recovery, most patients experience:

• Significant reduction in knee pain
• Improved mobility and flexibility
• Better daily functioning

Tips for Best Results:

• Follow physiotherapy regularly
• Avoid high-impact activities
• Maintain healthy weight
• Stay active

Robotic knee replacement surgery is a modern, highly advanced solution for treating severe knee pain and joint damage. With improved precision, faster recovery, and better long-term outcomes, it is becoming the preferred choice for many patients.

At VS Hospitals, expert orthopedic surgeons combine advanced robotic technology with personalized care to deliver excellent results.
