Robotic Total Knee Replacement
Higher precision. Better alignment. Optimized outcomes.
Robotic-assisted knee replacement uses computer planning and robotic guidance to position implants with sub-millimeter precision. It helps achieve better alignment and balancing tailored to the patient’s anatomy.
Why StepUp Joints?
- AIIMS-trained surgeons experienced with robotic workflows.
- Pre-op CT/planning, exact implant placement, and surgeon-controlled robotic execution.
- Seamless post-op physiotherapy to translate precision into function.
Who is a candidate?
- TKR patients where precision alignment and soft-tissue balancing may improve outcomes.
- Complex deformities or those seeking maximal accuracy for implant positioning.
Procedure — brief
- Pre-op imaging and computer planning.
- Surgeon-controlled robotic cutting/positioning in theatre.
- Standard post-op protocols and early physiotherapy.
Benefits
- Improved implant alignment and potentially longer implant life.
- Tailored balancing for patient-specific anatomy.
- Potential for better functional outcomes.
- Lower revision risk in selected cases.
- Surgeon precision translated to rehab through integrated physiotherapy.
Recovery & Rehabilitation
Similar timeline to conventional TKR; precision may improve rehabilitation responsiveness.
Day 0–2
Pain control, early mobilization with aids, breathing & ankle pumps.
Week 1–4
Progressive walking, ROM & strengthening; wound check at 10–14 days.
Week 6–12
Independence in ADLs; targeted quad/hip strengthening and balance work.
FAQs
Is robotic TKR “robot does the surgery”?
No — the surgeon plans and controls the robot. The robot improves precision; the surgeon operates.
Is it more expensive?
Robotic procedures can have higher costs. Discuss candidacy and value with our team.
