What is Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery?
Robotic knee replacement clinically referred to as robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty is a precision surgical approach where the surgeon works alongside a robotic-arm system guided by a personalised 3D CT-based surgical plan created before the procedure.
Unlike conventional surgery, where bone measurements are taken manually inside the operating room, the robotic system maps your exact knee anatomy in advance and helps the surgeon execute bone cuts accurate to within fractions of a millimetre.
What sets this apart is not just the technology it is the planning behind it. Every procedure begins with a detailed radiological assessment of the patient's specific joint geometry.
The result is a prosthetic implant that fits and functions more like a natural knee: better aligned, less painful, and longer-lasting. For patients who have delayed surgery out of fear or uncertainty, MAKOplasty and similar robotic platforms offer a compelling reason to move forward. Soft tissue is preserved, blood loss is minimised, and postoperative discomfort is significantly reduced.
At Shree Hospitals, no two surgical plans are identical because no two knees are. Our orthopaedic team combines robotic precision with decades of clinical judgment to deliver outcomes that stand apart.
When Should You Consult an Orthopedic Surgeon?
- Persistent knee pain lasting more than 3 months
- Morning stiffness or limited range of motion
- Visible swelling, warmth, or joint deformity
- Knee pain that interrupts sleep
- Difficulty climbing stairs, sitting, or standing from a chair
- No improvement despite physiotherapy or medication
Is This Treatment Right For You?
- Moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis (Grade 3 or 4)
- BMI under 40 with no uncontrolled systemic conditions
- Knee deformity affecting walking pattern or posture
- Previous knee surgery with persistent residual pain
- Active patients under 65 seeking faster return to function
- Individuals requiring highly accurate implant alignment
Why Early Treatment Matters?
- Delay accelerates irreversible cartilage breakdown
- Prolonged immobility weakens the surrounding muscle groups
- Earlier intervention means a smaller surgical footprint
- Better bone stock at time of surgery improves implant stability
- Overcompensation on the healthy knee increases bilateral risk
- Earlier procedures deliver better, more durable long-term outcomes
Robotic-assisted procedures improve implant positioning accuracy by up to 3x compared to conventional surgery directly reducing the risk of early revision or implant failure.

Our Approach to Robotic Knee Replacement
The difference between a good outcome and an exceptional one often comes down to process. Our four-stage approach combines pre-surgical intelligence, intraoperative accuracy, clinical expertise, and structured recovery every step designed around you.
24×7 Emergency Care
Pre-Surgical 3D Planning
Using CT-based imaging and robotic planning software, we create a precise digital model of your knee anatomy before the procedure begins. Implant size, position, and alignment targets are defined in advance — eliminating guesswork entirely on the day of surgery.
Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery
Our surgeons operate with a robotic arm that functions within pre-defined anatomical boundaries, preventing over-cutting and ensuring implant placement is executed to sub-millimetre accuracy. The surgeon remains in complete control the robot enhances precision, not autonomy.
Senior Orthopaedic Expertise
Every robotic orthopedic surgery at Shree Hospitals is led by a senior joint replacement specialist. Our team brings a combined experience exceeding 5,000 procedures — both robotic and conventional with outcomes consistently above national benchmarks.
Structured Rehabilitation Protocol
Recovery begins within 24 hours of surgery. Each patient follows a personalised rehabilitation plan developed in coordination with our in-house physiotherapy team, designed to restore strength, stability, and full range of motion as rapidly as safely possible.

Orthopedic Treatments at Shree Hospitals
We offer much more than single-joint procedures. For patients seeking a complete orthopaedic evaluation or exploring options beyond knee surgery, our specialists provide the full range of joint care solutions backed by the same robotic precision and clinical rigour.
Partial Knee Replacement
Unicompartmental approach for localised disease; preserves healthy bone and ligament tissue.
Revision Knee Replacement
Complex re-do surgery for failed or worn implants, managed by our revision arthroplasty specialists.
Step by Step Process of Robotic Knee Replacement
Step 1 —Pre-Surgical Assessment & 3D Planning
Before your procedure date, a CT scan of your knee is taken and uploaded into our robotic surgical planning software. The system generates a precise three-dimensional model of your joint.
Your surgeon reviews this model and defines the exact implant size, positioning angles, and alignment targets specific to your anatomy. By the time you arrive for surgery, every step has already been rehearsed digitally.
Step 2 — Anaesthesia & Robotic Registration
On the day of surgery, you receive either general or spinal anaesthesia depending on your health profile and preference.
Once positioned on the operating table, the robotic system is registered to your actual knee using anatomical landmarks identified intraoperatively — synchronising the pre-planned digital model with your physical joint.
Step 3 — Robotic-Guided Bone Preparation
The surgeon uses the haptic robotic arm to make precise bone cuts that match the pre-set surgical plan.
The system delivers real-time tactile feedback and prevents the arm from operating outside the defined safety boundaries protecting healthy bone, cartilage, and soft tissue throughout the procedure. No manual cutting guides are required.
Step 4 —Implant Placement, Verification & Closure
The knee prosthesis components are fitted and the joint is taken through a full range of motion to verify stability and alignment.
The robotic system confirms that positioning matches the pre-surgical plan before the incision is closed in layers. Most patients are mobilised with a walker within 4 to 6 hours of surgery and begin formal physiotherapy the following morning.
Patient Questions About Robotic Knee Replacement
What Are the Advantages of Robotic Knee Replacement Over Traditional Surgery?
Robotic knee replacement offers measurably higher implant positioning accuracy, significantly reduced damage to surrounding bone and soft tissue, lower intraoperative blood loss, and a faster return to normal daily activity. The pre-surgical 3D planning means your surgeon walks into the theatre already knowing exactly what to do removing the variables that contribute to suboptimal outcomes in conventional procedures. For patients with knee osteoarthritis, this precision directly translates to a more natural-feeling knee and a longer-lasting implant.
How Long Does Recovery Take After Robotic Knee Replacement?
Most patients are walking with assistance within hours of surgery and are discharged within 3 to 5 days. Full functional recovery — meaning return to most daily activities without restriction — typically occurs between 4 and 6 weeks. High-impact activities and sports are usually cleared at the 3-month mark following final physiotherapy review.
Am I a Suitable Candidate for Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery?
Ideal candidates are adults with Grade 3 or Grade 4 knee osteoarthritis, a BMI under 40, and no uncontrolled systemic conditions that would contraindicate surgery. Patients who have not found adequate relief through medication, physiotherapy, or injections, and whose knee pain is significantly affecting quality of life, are typically the strongest candidates. A pre-surgical consultation with our orthopaedic team will confirm suitability through clinical examination and imaging.
