The number of joint replacements in India is set to grow at the highest rate in the world until 2026
The Indian Spinal Injuries Centre (ISIC) has launched the Department of Robotic Joint Replacement, a transformative advancement in the world of orthopaedic surgery. The launch was preceded by several successful knee robotics surgeries and excellent patient outcomes with this advanced navigational technology. ISIC declared that the advent of knee robotics signifies a significant breakthrough for patients suffering from knee problems.
Bholi Ahluwalia, Chairperson, ISIC said, “We, at ISIC, always strive to adopt cutting-edge technologies for better clinical outcomes. With the launch of cutting-edge knee robotics, ISIC would be performing thousands of knee replacements with newly introduced robotic knee replacement procedures each year and would sincerely strive to bridge the existing gap.”
ISIC takes robotic knee replacement surgery to the next level with added precision, accuracy, personalisation, and the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) technique, which allows patients to start walking within hours of surgery.
“We employ the latest US FDA-approved anatomically accurate personalised implants, ensuring a natural knee feeling. Our multidisciplinary team approach ensures comprehensive patient care, with physiotherapists assessing individual needs and follow-up appointments scheduled for continued care,” said Dr Deepak Raina - Head of Department and Chief of Hip Replacement Services, ISIC.
“The Rosa Knee robotic system, utilised at ISIC, customises knee replacements for each patient's anatomy, potentially resulting in a more natural knee feeling in the long run. With reduced risk of complications and improved patient outcomes, ISIC is poised to redefine knee replacement surgery in India,” added Dr Raina.
“While the robot plays a crucial role in enhancing precision, the orthopaedic surgeon maintains full control. Knee robotics enhances knee joint alignment, allowing patients to regain a more natural range of motion for daily activities and an active lifestyle. Reduced complications and misalignments lower the need for revision surgery, resulting in fewer surgical interventions for patients,” explained Dr Vivek Mahajan, Senior Consultant Orthopaedics - Joint Replacement and Arthroscopy Services, ISIC.
“If someone is a good candidate for traditional knee replacement surgery, he/she is a good candidate for Robotic Knee Replacement. It comes as a boon for those who are in their 40s and 50s and fall victim to severe knee problems. At ISIC, we strongly believe in delivering Successful Knee Replacement that should last a lifetime. We have a highly experienced team of surgeons who are extensively trained in knee replacement and robotics from all over the world,” added Dr Mahajan.
