Cementless robotic knee surgery may be a game-changer for arthritis
Brij Kishore from Jharkhand performed the world’s first robot-assisted cementless knee replacement surgery. This advanced operation can be a game-changer for people suffering from osteoarthritis in India.
In short
- Surgery used a titanium transplant without cement for prolonged durability
- Cementless knee replacement surgery is considered better than traditional operations
- Robotic aid ensures accurate transplant placement and rapid recovery
For 54 -year -old Brij Kishore from Dhanbad, Jharkhand, every step became a fight. For more than eight years, he was silently tolerating painful pain in both the knees due to advanced osteoarthritis, a condition that converted his legs into a bow shape (which is medically known as Varsa deformity) and even made simple tasks such as walking in the bathroom.
Despite seeking help in local hospitals, there was no improvement. He started relying on his family to move a few steps ahead.
But everything changed when he traveled to Delhi. The teenager became the first person in the world, with a robot-assisted cementless medial pivot began to undergo a knee replacement surgery. This surgery is the place where a special implant made of titanium is used to change the damaged knee joint without using glue (cement).
A surgical robot helps the doctor to keep the implant accurately. Post such an operation, the knee moves more naturally, feels stable and helps the patient to recover rapidly with low pain.
In the Max Institute of Robotic Joint Replacement, Dr. Surgery performed by Sujoy Bhattacharjee and his team has become a world-first surgery aided by a robot.
Dr. Bhattacharjee and his team combined two advanced techniques: a cementless implant and robotic assistance using the CUVIS system, as well as specially designed average pivot cruciat-ritting implants that mimic the natural speed of the knee compared to traditional implants.
“The patient’s knees were in a complex position. He had severe osteoarthritis with deformity that is almost impossible. A few days after the surgery was incredibly rewarded to stand on his feet.”
Why is this surgery so important?
Traditional knee replacement usually uses cemented implants, where a particular adhesive is used to fix the artificial joint. Over time, especially in small or more active patients, cement can wear out, possibly leading to loosening the joint.
Conversely, like cementless implants used in juvenile surgery, the bone is designed to naturally grow naturally around transplantation, making more solid and long lasting fit.
This technique provides a more natural combined movement combined with average pivot design, especially during everyday activities such as climbing stairs or exiting the chair.
In simple terms, surgery does not only fix the joint, it helps to make the new joint feel more as you were born with.
What is Titanium average -grade pivot implant?
The implant used in this case is made of titanium, which is a strong yet light metal known for high compatibility with the human body.
The average pivot cruciate-ritting (CR) design allows the knee to bend and rotate in a way that closely repeats the axis of the natural knee. Unlike traditional implants, which can feel “unnatural”, this design provides better stability, balance and confidence during movement.
Because the transplant is cementless, it also avoids long-term risks associated with cement-based processes. Result? Better durability, less complications, and a sharp, smooth recovery.
Why robots make a big difference
Robotic-assisted surgery ensures high precision, implants are placed exactly in the same place where it should be, depending on the patient’s unique bone structure and alignment. This means low damage to the surrounding tissues, a better fit and a sharp recovery.
The system allows doctors to adapt to real -time surgery, adopting the patient’s anatomy and motion. For Rajesh, it meant that a surgery was stitched just for him, not a size-fit-all process.
Why does it matter to India
Knee pain and osteoarthritis are becoming increasingly common in India, especially prolonged lifestyle, passive lifestyle and obesity.
For many people, especially in its 50s and 60s, it leads to slow erosion of freedom and mobility. This surgery can mark a twist on how we contact for joint replacement in India.
This proves that without the need to travel abroad, advanced treatment is available here at home.
With the progression such as cementless implants, robotic precision and natural-movement designs, patients no longer settle for pain relief, they can aim for surgery after a completely active life.
