The landscape of orthopedic surgery is undergoing a significant transformation, with robotic technology emerging as a game-changer. In a pioneering move, Dr. Anoop Jhurani, Director of Hip & Knee Replacement Services at Fortis Hospital, Jaipur, has introduced robotic total knee joint replacements to Rajasthan and Central India. Why Robotic Knee Replacement? Traditional manual techniques for joint replacement surgery, while effective, have limitations in terms of precision and accuracy. Robotic technology, on the other hand, offers several advantages: • Enhanced Precision: Robotic systems provide unparalleled precision, allowing surgeons to perform complex procedures with minimal error. • Minimized Tissue Damage: The robotic arm's accuracy reduces tissue damage, leading to faster healing times and reduced pain. • Improved Implant Alignment: Robotic assistance ensures optimal implant positioning, maximizing joint function and durability. • Personalized Treatment: By analyzing the patient's unique anatomy, surgeons can create customized treatment plans, tailoring the procedure to individual needs. The Robotic Knee Replacement Process 1. Pre-operative Planning: • A comprehensive CT scan is performed to create a detailed 3D model of the patient's knee joint. • Surgeons use this model to plan the surgery, identifying the exact bone cuts and implant positions. 2. Intra-operative Guidance: • During the surgery, the patient's leg is fitted with tracking devices. • The robotic arm, guided by the surgeon, precisely follows the pre-operative plan, ensuring accurate bone cuts and implant placement. 3. Real-time Adjustments: • The surgeon can make real-time adjustments to the plan, based on intra-operative findings. • This flexibility ensures optimal outcomes and minimizes complications. Dr. Anoop Jhurani's Expertise With over 12,000 successful Hip & Knee Replacements, Dr. Anoop Jhurani is a leading figure in orthopedic surgery. His expertise, combined with the power of robotic technology, offers patients in Rajasthan and Central India access to world-class joint replacement care. Adopting robotic knee replacement in India sets a new standard for orthopedic excellence. This innovative approach promises superior outcomes, improved patient satisfaction, and a brighter future for joint replacement surgery.
