CHENNAI: Apollo Institute of Orthopaedics, a dedicated Centre for joint replacements successfully completed 370 robotic orthopaedic procedures over 10 months since the launch. Technological advancements such as robotic arm-assisted technology is revolutionising knee and hip replacement surgeries enabling higher accuracy and significantly improved patient outcome versus the conventional technique.

Robotic technology helps the surgeon to achieve accuracy, alignment, and balance during the actual surgery. With the help of a robotic arm the surgeon will shape the surrounding bone before placing the knee implant and will be able to see the knee and position the implant properly. This enables the surgeon to map out incisions and there will be no instrument slipping or injury to other tissues. This procedure is has revolutionised knee replacement concept.
