Why Does This Happen?

Causes and what is happening inside your body

+

In joint replacement, implant alignment is the most important factor for long-term success. A perfectly aligned implant lasts 20-25 years. Robotic surgery uses CT-based 3D planning for GPS-accurate bone cuts and placement.

🤖 The robot does NOT operate by itself — it guides the surgeon, ensuring 1-2 degree accuracy not possible manually.

Who Is at Risk?

  • Best for robotic: Grade 4 OA with deformity, young active patients
  • Both give good results in experienced hands
🩺

What Are the Symptoms?

How to recognise this condition — and when to see a doctor urgently

+
  • Grade 4 arthritis — daily severe pain
  • Pain at rest and night
  • Non-surgical treatments failed

⚠️ See a doctor urgently if: Knee that cannot be straightened · Severe deformity · Joint infection

Can I Prevent It?

What you can do to reduce your risk and protect yourself

+
  • Maintain healthy weight before surgery
  • Strengthen muscles before surgery
  • Stop smoking before surgery
💊

How Is It Managed?

Treatment options from simple home care to specialist treatment

+

Robotic knee replacement: pre-op CT scan, robotic arm guides cuts to 1-2 degrees, surgery 60-90 minutes, walking starts next morning. Implant life: 20-25 years with correct alignment.

💡 The surgeon's experience matters more than the robotic system. Ask how many robotic replacements your surgeon has done.

Dr. Sumit's Advice

What I tell every patient who comes to me with this condition

+

"Robotic surgery has taken my results to a level not achievable conventionally. When I guarantee 1-2 degree alignment and the patient walks next morning — that is the outcome every patient deserves."
