Advanced Procedure

Robotic Knee Replacement in Jaipur

Robotic knee replacement in Jaipur is offered by Dr. Dheeraj Dubay, Director, Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery at Shalby Hospital Jaipur. Robotic assistance can help the surgeon plan bone cuts, assess alignment and balance the knee using patient-specific measurements; the surgeon remains in control throughout. Whether robotic assistance is appropriate depends on the patient’s knee anatomy, diagnosis and overall surgical plan.

General patient education only. Suitability, risks and recovery differ by patient and require an individual clinical assessment. Medical editorial policy.

What Is Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement?

Robotic-assisted knee replacement uses a computerised planning and guidance system as a surgical tool. Depending on the platform, the system can use imaging or intra-operative measurements to help the surgeon assess anatomy, alignment, component position and planned bone preparation. The robot does not diagnose the patient or perform the operation independently: the surgeon remains responsible for the plan, bone preparation, implant selection and final clinical decisions.

How Robotic Assistance Is Used During Knee Replacement

  1. 1The patient is assessed to confirm whether knee replacement and robotic assistance are clinically appropriate.
  2. 2Patient-specific anatomical data are captured using the imaging or registration process required by the robotic platform.
  3. 3The surgeon reviews a proposed implant plan and adjusts it according to anatomy, alignment and soft-tissue considerations.
  4. 4During surgery, trackers or sensors provide measurements to the system according to the platform being used.
  5. 5Robotic guidance helps the surgeon perform planned bone preparation within defined boundaries.
  6. 6Trial components are used to assess alignment, balance, stability and range of motion.
  7. 7The surgeon makes any required adjustments and implants the definitive components.
  8. 8Post-operative pain management and rehabilitation are planned according to the individual patient’s condition and progress.

What Robotic Assistance Can Add to Knee Replacement

🧭

Patient-Specific Planning

Pre-operative or intra-operative data can be used to plan implant position around the patient’s anatomy.

📐

Alignment Guidance

The system provides objective measurements that help the surgeon assess alignment during the operation.

⚖️

Balance Assessment

Intra-operative information can help assess soft-tissue balance through the planned range of motion.

🦴

Controlled Bone Preparation

Robotic guidance can help keep planned bone preparation within defined surgical boundaries.

👨‍⚕️

Surgeon Controlled

The robotic system is an assisting tool; Dr. Dubay makes the clinical and surgical decisions.

Are You a Candidate for Robotic Knee Replacement?

You may need an orthopedic assessment 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

Factors that may change or delay the plan include:

  • •Active infection in or around the knee
  • •Severe osteoporosis making bone too weak to anchor implants
  • •Significant health conditions making surgery high risk

Recovery After Knee Replacement

Recovery is patient-dependent. The timeline below is general education and may differ with age, diagnosis, other medical conditions, surgery type and rehabilitation progress.

1

Hospital phase

Pain control & mobilisation

The clinical and physiotherapy teams begin mobilisation when it is medically appropriate. The amount of assistance, walking distance and hospital stay vary with the patient’s health and early recovery.

2

Early weeks

Home exercises & wound care

Patients usually continue prescribed exercises, walking practice and wound care. Swelling, strength and range of motion improve at different rates, so progress is reviewed individually.

3

Following weeks

Strength & daily activity

Walking aids may be reduced as balance and strength improve. Return to driving, work and stairs depends on the operated side, strength, medicines, safety and the treating team’s advice.

4

Following months

Functional recovery

Mobility and confidence can continue improving for several months. Rehabilitation goals are adjusted to the patient’s age, pre-operative function, other medical conditions and progress.

5

Long term

Follow-up & implant care

Long-term implant performance varies with implant design, alignment, activity, body weight, medical factors and complications. Follow-up is advised according to the surgeon’s plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Robotic assistance can add patient-specific planning and objective intra-operative measurements, but it is not automatically the best option for every patient. The appropriate technique depends on diagnosis, anatomy, available technology, the surgical plan and the surgeon’s judgement.
