Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement Surgery in Hyderabad

Knee replacement has changed dramatically in the last decade. With robotic-assisted technology, we can now plan and perform every knee replacement with a level of precision that simply was not possible before — and that precision translates directly into less pain, smaller incisions, faster recovery, and a knee that feels more natural for longer.

At our clinic, we offer advanced robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery in Hyderabad, performed personally by Dr Karthik Rao, a fellowship-trained orthopaedic and joint replacement surgeon. Whether you need a single-knee or bilateral knee replacement, our robotic-assisted approach is designed to give you the best possible outcome — first time, every time.

What is Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement?

Robotic-assisted knee replacement is a modern surgical technique in which a computerised robotic system works alongside the surgeon to plan and perform your knee replacement with extraordinary accuracy. The robot does not replace the surgeon — it gives Dr Karthik Rao a 3D digital map of your knee and guides every cut, every angle, and every implant placement to within fractions of a millimetre.

The result is a knee that is aligned correctly, balanced naturally, and positioned exactly where it needs to be for the longest possible lifespan.

How Robotic Knee Surgery Works — The Three Phases

Phase 1: Personalised 3D Pre-Operative Planning

Before surgery, we use a CT scan or live joint mapping to create a precise 3D model of your knee. Dr Karthik Rao then plans the exact size of the implant, the angle of every bone cut, and the alignment of the joint — all customised to your unique anatomy.

Phase 2: Robot-Guided Bone Preparation

During surgery, the robotic arm tracks your knee in real time and allows the surgeon to make bone cuts with sub-millimetre accuracy. If even the slightest deviation occurs, the system stops the instrument instantly — protecting healthy bone and surrounding soft tissues.

Phase 3: Optimised Implant Placement & Soft-Tissue Balancing

Once the bone is prepared, the implant is placed with perfect alignment, and the system verifies ligament balance through the full range of motion. This ensures a knee that feels stable, natural, and pain-free from day one.

Benefits of Robotic Knee Replacement Over Conventional Surgery

• Sub-millimetre precision in bone cuts and implant alignment
• Personalised, patient-specific surgical plan
• Smaller incisions and minimal soft-tissue damage
• Significantly less blood loss
• Reduced post-operative pain
• Faster mobilisation — most of our patients walk within 24 hours
• More natural knee feel and improved range of motion
• Longer-lasting implants — better alignment means less wear and tear
• Lower risk of revision surgery in the future

Who is a Good Candidate for Robotic Knee Replacement?

Robotic-assisted knee replacement is suitable for almost every patient who needs a knee replacement, including:

• Patients with severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis
• Patients with significant knee deformity (bow-leg or knock-knee)
• Younger, more active patients who want the longest-lasting outcome
• Patients with complex anatomy where precision is critical
• Patients who need bilateral (both knees) replacement
• Patients with previous failed knee surgeries (revision cases)

During your consultation, we will assess your X-rays, MRI, and overall health and confirm whether robotic surgery is the right approach for you.

Step-by-Step Procedure

Step 1: Pre-Operative Evaluation

• Detailed clinical examination by Dr Karthik Rao
• X-rays, CT scan, and MRI for 3D digital mapping
• Routine blood tests and cardiac/anaesthetic fitness clearance
• Pre-habilitation exercises and counselling

Step 2: The Robotic Surgery

• Performed under spinal/epidural or general anaesthesia
• Duration: typically 60 to 90 minutes per knee
• 3D plan verified live on the robotic console
• Robot-guided bone preparation with sub-millimetre accuracy
• Implant placement and soft-tissue balancing confirmed in real time

Step 3: Post-Operative Recovery

• Most of our patients stand and take guided steps within 24 hours
• Physiotherapy begins on Day 1
• Hospital stay: usually 3 to 5 days
• Discharge with a personalised home exercise and pain-management plan

Recovery & Rehabilitation

Because robotic surgery causes less soft-tissue trauma, our patients tend to recover noticeably faster than with conventional knee replacement.

• Week 1: Walk with a walker, basic bending exercises, manage swelling.
• Week 2–3: Switch to a walking stick, climb stairs with support.
• Week 4–6: Walk independently, return to light household activities.
• Week 6–8: Resume driving, office work, and longer walks.
• Month 3–6: Full recovery — back to gym, swimming, cycling, and travel.

Cost of Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery in Hyderabad

The cost of robotic-assisted knee replacement in Hyderabad depends on:

• Type of implant (standard, high-flex, or premium)
• Single knee vs bilateral knee replacement
• Hospital category and length of stay
• Additional medical conditions (diabetes, heart disease, etc.)

Estimated Cost Range: ₹2.5 Lakhs to ₹4.5 Lakhs per knee (indicative).

*We share the final cost after your evaluation. Cashless insurance and EMI options are available with all major providers.
