What is Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery?
Robotic knee replacement is a cutting-edge surgical technique where a robotic arm assists the surgeon in performing the procedure with extraordinary precision. Before the surgery, a detailed 3D model of the patient's knee is created using CT scan data. The robotic system uses this model to create a personalised surgical plan specific to that patient's anatomy. During surgery, the robotic arm guides Dr. Dubay's movements to within a fraction of a millimetre, ensuring the implant is positioned exactly as planned. This level of precision is simply not achievable by hand alone, no matter how experienced the surgeon. The robot does not perform the surgery independently — Dr. Dubay is in complete control throughout. The robotic system acts as an intelligent assistant that prevents any movement outside the pre-planned boundaries, protecting the surrounding healthy tissue and ligaments from unnecessary damage. This results in a knee that feels more natural, lasts longer, and allows patients to return to activity faster than with traditional surgery.
How Dr. Dubay Performs Robotic Knee Replacement
- 1Pre-operative CT scan is taken to create a precise 3D model of your knee joint
- 2Dr. Dubay creates a personalised surgical plan using specialised software based on your anatomy
- 3On surgery day, you receive anaesthesia and the knee is prepared
- 4Small bone trackers are attached to guide the robotic system during surgery
- 5The robotic arm assists Dr. Dubay in removing damaged bone and cartilage with millimetre precision
- 6The implant components are positioned exactly as planned — the robot ensures no deviation
- 7Dr. Dubay checks the knee's movement, balance, and stability before closing
- 8You begin physiotherapy within 24 hours using Dr. Dubay's Zero technique for fast-track recovery
Benefits of Robotic Knee Replacement
Unmatched Precision
Implant placement accurate to within 1mm — significantly better than traditional surgery
Bone Preservation
Only the minimum necessary bone is removed, preserving more of the patient's natural structure
Faster Recovery
Patients typically walk within 24 hours and leave hospital in 3 days
Less Post-Op Pain
Precise cuts mean less trauma to surrounding tissue, resulting in significantly less pain
More Natural Feeling Knee
Better alignment means the replaced knee feels and moves more like a natural knee
Longer Implant Life
Correctly aligned implants wear more evenly, potentially lasting 25+ years

Are You a Candidate for Robotic Knee Replacement?
You may be a good candidate if you have:
- •Severe knee pain that prevents daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair
- •Knee pain that persists even while resting or at night
- •Knee stiffness that makes it difficult to bend or straighten the leg
- •Significant swelling around the knee that does not respond to medication
- •Knee deformity — the knee bowing inward or outward
- •Failed response to non-surgical treatments including physiotherapy, medication, and injections
- •Knee arthritis confirmed on X-ray showing severe joint space narrowing
This may not be ideal if you have:
- •Active infection in or around the knee
- •Severe osteoporosis making bone too weak to anchor implants
- •Significant health conditions making surgery high risk
Recovery Timeline After Robotic Knee Replacement
Day 1
Standing and Walking
With Dr. Dubay's Zero technique, most patients stand and take their first steps with support within 24 hours of surgery. Pain is managed effectively with modern protocols.
Days 2-4
Hospital Stay
Physiotherapy begins in earnest. Patients practice walking with a frame, climbing a few stairs, and basic knee exercises. Most are discharged by day 3-4.
Weeks 1-3
Home Recovery
Continue physiotherapy at home. Walking distances increase daily. Pain reduces significantly. Most patients stop needing strong pain medication by end of week 2.
Month 1-2
Increasing Independence
Most patients can walk without a frame, manage household activities, and sit comfortably. Driving is typically possible by 6 weeks.
Month 3
Near Normal Activity
Most patients report 80-90% improvement. Walking on uneven ground, light climbing, and most daily activities are comfortable.
Month 6+
Full Recovery
Complete recovery achieved for most patients. Walking, climbing, travel, and most physical activities are comfortable. The robotic implant is designed to last 20-25 years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Robotic surgery offers significantly higher precision in implant placement compared to traditional techniques. Studies show that robotic-assisted surgery results in more accurate alignment, less blood loss, less soft tissue damage, and faster recovery. However, the outcome also depends greatly on the surgeon's experience. Dr. Dubay combines advanced robotic technology with over 24,000 surgeries of experience for the best possible outcome.
