To address the growing orthopaedic burden in the country by leveraging medical technology, the CK Birla Hospital has launched India’s first fully active robotic MIS knee replacement programme at their Punjabi Bagh facility.

The state-of-the-art robot system is the most advanced surgical equipment capable of 3D pre-planning, accurate assessment of deformities and precise surgical results for exceptional patient outcomes.

“Compared to the traditional methods, this fully active robot offers immense benefits in the area of knee replacement surgery. For the first time in India, we are connecting M.I.S. technique with robotics technology.  It is user-friendly and flexible and offers precision and safety,” said Dr Ashwani Maichand, Department of Orthopaedics at the CK Birla Hospital.  .
