Robotic Knee Replacement in Mumbai
Next-generation robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery by Dr. Sunirmal Mukherjee for unmatched precision, faster recovery, and a more natural-feeling knee.
Understanding Robotic Knee Replacement Treatment
Knee arthritis and degenerative joint disease can cause severe pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility that significantly impacts quality of life. When conservative knee pain treatment options have been exhausted, knee replacement surgery provides a proven path to lasting relief.
Dr. Sunirmal Mukherjee, a leading orthopaedic surgeon in Mumbai practising in Bandra West, offers the latest advancement in joint replacement surgery — robotic-assisted knee replacement. This cutting-edge technology combines the surgeon's expertise with robotic precision to deliver superior implant alignment, better joint function, and a more natural-feeling knee.
Robotic knee replacement represents the gold standard in minimally invasive orthopaedic surgery for knee joint conditions, offering patients enhanced precision and improved long-term outcomes.
What is Robotic Knee Replacement?
Robotic knee replacement is an advanced form of knee arthroplasty where a robotic arm assists the surgeon in performing the procedure with sub-millimetre accuracy. Before surgery, a CT scan of your knee is used to create a precise 3D model of your unique anatomy. This model forms the basis of a personalised surgical plan.
During surgery, the robotic system guides the surgeon's bone cuts according to the pre-operative plan, providing real-time feedback and ensuring optimal implant positioning. The robotic arm operates only within the boundaries set by the surgeon and cannot move independently.
This technology allows for greater precision than conventional techniques, resulting in better implant alignment, improved soft tissue balance, reduced bone loss, and a knee that feels more natural after surgery. Both total and partial knee replacements can be performed using robotic assistance.
Conditions Treated
- Severe osteoarthritis of the knee
- Rheumatoid arthritis affecting the knee joint
- Post-traumatic arthritis
- Degenerative joint disease
- Knee deformities (varus/valgus malalignment)
- Avascular necrosis of the knee
- Failed previous knee surgery requiring revision
Symptoms That Indicate You May Need Treatment
- Chronic knee pain that limits walking, stairs, or daily activities
- Knee stiffness especially in the morning or after sitting
- Progressive knee deformity (bowing or knock-knees)
- Grinding or crunching sensation in the knee
- Swelling that persists or recurs frequently
- Pain that does not respond to medication, injections, or physiotherapy
- Significant reduction in quality of life due to knee problems
Benefits of Robotic Knee Replacement
Procedure Overview
CT Scan and 3D Modelling
A CT scan of your knee is taken before surgery. This creates a detailed 3D model of your unique anatomy, which is used to plan the exact positioning and sizing of the implant.
Personalised Surgical Plan
Using the 3D model, Dr. Mukherjee creates a customised surgical plan that maps the optimal bone cuts and implant positioning specific to your knee anatomy.
Robotic-Assisted Surgery
During surgery, the robotic arm assists Dr. Mukherjee in executing the pre-operative plan with sub-millimetre accuracy. The system provides real-time feedback, allowing precise adjustments during bone preparation.
Implant Placement
The artificial joint components are placed according to the robotically guided plan. The system verifies alignment, balance, and range of motion before the procedure is completed.
Closure and Early Recovery
The incision is closed and bandaged. Patients typically begin standing and walking with support within 24 hours. The precision of the robotic approach often results in less post-operative pain.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Recovery after robotic knee replacement is often faster than conventional knee replacement due to the precision of the procedure and reduced soft tissue trauma. Most patients begin walking with support within 24 hours of surgery.
A structured physiotherapy programme begins immediately, focusing on range of motion, strength building, and progressive weight-bearing. Most patients can resume light activities within 2 to 3 weeks, drive within 4 to 6 weeks, and return to most daily activities within 6 to 8 weeks. Full recovery typically occurs within 3 to 6 months.
Dr. Mukherjee provides comprehensive post-operative care including personalised rehabilitation plans, regular follow-up appointments, and ongoing support to ensure the best possible outcome from your joint replacement surgery.
