What is Robotic Joint Replacement?

Robotic Joint Replacement is an advanced orthopaedic procedure where robotic technology assists the surgeon in planning and performing joint replacement surgery with high precision. The robotic system creates a 3D model of the patient’s joint, allowing accurate placement of implants, minimal bone removal, and personalized treatment for each patient.

When should you have Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery?

• Severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis of the hip or knee
• Chronic joint pain and stiffness affecting mobility
• Failure of conventional treatment options like medications or physiotherapy
• Deformity in hip or knee joints that impacts quality of life
• Patients requiring high-precision surgery for long-term implant survival

How is the Robotic Joint Replacement Procedure Done?

• Performed under general or spinal anaesthesia
• A 3D virtual model of the joint is created for personalized surgical planning
• Robotic arm assists the surgeon in removing damaged cartilage and bone with minimal error
• Artificial implants are positioned with exact alignment for natural joint movement
• The procedure improves surgical accuracy, reducing complications and recovery time

What Care is Necessary After a Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery?

• Hospital stay usually lasts 2–4 days
• Physiotherapy begins within 24 hours of surgery
• Patients can usually walk with support in 1–2 days
• At home, recovery takes 4–8 weeks depending on overall health
• Medications and guided exercises are prescribed for pain control and mobility
• Avoid high-impact activities until cleared by your doctor

Since robotic technology ensures better implant alignment, recovery is often smoother and quicker compared to conventional joint replacement. Regular follow-ups and adherence to rehabilitation protocols are essential for long-term results.

What are the Risks & Complications?

• Infection
• Blood clots
• Implant loosening or wear over time
• Nerve or soft tissue injury
• Joint stiffness or swelling
• Rare complications related to anaesthesia

What are Some Advantages of Robotic Joint Replacement?

• Higher accuracy in implant positioning
• Smaller incisions and reduced scarring
• Less blood loss and minimal tissue damage
• Faster recovery compared to traditional surgery
• Improved joint function and natural movement
• Lower risk of complications and implant failure
• Long-lasting results with better implant survival
