About Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery

Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery is an advanced approach to joint replacement that combines the expertise of orthopedic surgeons with robotic-assisted technology to achieve greater precision, personalized surgical planning, and accurate implant positioning. At Dr.KMH, Chennai, robotic-assisted joint replacement is performed using the advanced Stryker Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery system.

The technology uses detailed CT-based 3D imaging to create a personalized surgical plan based on each patient's unique anatomy. During surgery, the robotic system assists the surgeon with precise bone preparation and implant positioning while helping preserve healthy bone and surrounding soft tissue.

At Dr.KMH, our Robotic Orthopedics Department provides advanced joint replacement solutions for patients suffering from osteoarthritis, arthritis, chronic joint pain, and limited mobility. By combining experienced orthopedic surgeons with advanced robotic technology, we aim to provide precise, personalized treatment and support faster recovery and improved mobility.

What is the Stryker Mako Robotic System?

The Stryker Mako Robotic System is a state-of-the-art, USFDA-approved technology used by leading orthopedic surgeons worldwide. It leverages CT-based 3D modeling to create a personalized surgical plan tailored to each patient's unique bone anatomy.

During the procedure, the robotic arm guides the surgeon with sub-millimeter precision, supporting optimal implant placement while helping preserve healthy bone and soft tissue and minimizing surgical trauma.

Key Advantages of Robotic Joint Replacement

Precision Beyond Human Hands: Robotic assistance supports sub-millimeter accuracy in bone preparation, alignment, and implant placement.
Customized Surgical Planning: Each procedure is planned according to the patient's individual anatomy using advanced 3D CT imaging.
Enhanced Implant Longevity: Accurate implant positioning supports joint function and durability, especially for younger and more active individuals.
Less Pain and Faster Recovery: Precise techniques and smaller incisions may support reduced postoperative pain, quicker mobilization, and an earlier return to normal activities.
Minimally Invasive Approach: The system enables smaller cuts and less disruption to surrounding tissues, helping improve patient comfort and reduce surgical trauma.
Reduced Risk of Revision Surgery: Improved alignment and implant longevity may help reduce long-term complications and the need for revision procedures.

Our Robotic Orthopedic Services

Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery

Our robotic knee system maps the patient's knee anatomy in 3D and assists the surgeon with accurate bone preparation and implant alignment while helping preserve healthy bone and tissue.

Robotic Total Knee Replacement: Suitable for patients with severe osteoarthritis or joint degeneration, supporting accurate bone cuts and implant fit.

Robotic-Assisted Partial Knee Replacement

For patients whose damage is limited to a single knee compartment, robotic-assisted partial knee replacement uses robotic precision while preserving more of the natural joint structure.

Preserves healthy bone and ligaments.
Less invasive than total knee replacement.
Supports quicker recovery and natural knee movement.

Robotic Hip Replacement Surgery

Robotic assistance supports accurate implant positioning during hip replacement, helping achieve optimal alignment, joint stability, range of motion, and improved mobility while reducing abnormal wear and tear.

Robotic Total Hip Replacement: Supports precise hip alignment, stability, and improved mobility through robotic guidance.

Pre-operative Imaging & Evaluation

Advanced diagnostic imaging supports personalized treatment planning and precise surgical mapping. Using a detailed 3D CT scan, the Mako system creates a patient-specific plan for accurate implant alignment and surgical execution.

Post-operative Rehabilitation

Customized physiotherapy and rehabilitation plans help patients regain strength and mobility effectively. Advanced rehabilitation support is integrated into postoperative care to support recovery.

Robotic Total Joint Arthroplasty

Robotic-assisted total joint arthroplasty can be used for selected joint replacement procedures, including shoulder and elbow replacements, with the aim of supporting accurate implant positioning, joint function, and implant longevity.

Shoulder arthritis.
Rotator cuff arthropathy.
Post-traumatic joint degeneration.
Elbow joint collapse or deformity.

Robotic Revision Joint Surgery

For failed or painful previous joint replacements, robotic assistance can support revision surgery through enhanced visualization, accurate component removal, and precise re-implantation.

FAQ (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS)

Q: Is robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery safe?

A: Robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery is USFDA-approved and widely regarded as safe. It enhances surgical precision, improves implant positioning, and minimizes trauma to surrounding healthy bone and soft tissue. Our orthopedic surgeons are specially trained in the advanced Stryker Mako Robotic System.

Q: Is the surgery performed by the robot?

A: No. The surgery is performed by a trained orthopedic surgeon. The Stryker Mako robotic arm acts as an intelligent guide, assisting the surgeon with sub-millimeter precision based on a personalized 3D CT scan. Every movement of the robotic arm is fully controlled by the surgeon.

Q: Why should I choose robotic joint replacement surgery?

A: Robotic joint replacement offers sub-millimeter accuracy in implant placement, personalized planning using 3D CT imaging, and motion preservation. This supports reduced postoperative pain, quicker recovery, enhanced implant longevity, and a lower risk of revision surgery.

Q: Will my insurance cover robotic joint replacement surgery?

A: Yes, in most cases, many private, corporate, and government-sponsored insurance plans provide coverage for robotic joint replacement procedures. Our experienced insurance helpdesk team will help verify your benefits, initiate pre-authorization, and support you through the claims process.

Q: How soon can I walk or go home after surgery?

A: Many patients are mobilized and start walking within 24 hours of surgery. The precise techniques and smaller incisions support a shorter hospital stay, with many patients discharged within 24 to 48 hours.
