The most precise Robotic Knee replacement surgery giving patients the best possible movement and comfort for a long time.
- Highly Specific to Patients Biomechanics: Surgical procedure is pre-planned based on the 3D CT scan. The orthopedic surgeons can now precisely pre-empt the size of implant required and know with millimeter precision where the cuts have to be made for accurate alignment of the implant. In traditional joint replacement surgeries, most decisions were made during the surgery.
- Perfection: Robotic Joint replacement gives near perfect alignment and perfection in installing the implant, close to the mechanical axis of the patients (which is unique to the patient. This is possible as the robotic orthopedic system can visualize the joint in 4 planes axis while the human can only visualize in 1-2 planes.
- Accuracy: Thanks to advance scanning the orthopedic can now accurately measure critical patient’s parameters specific to each patient. Parameters like the joint’s dimensions, rotational alignment, balancing of the joint. Also, the robotic system suggests any anatomical change in real time so the orthopedic can make informed decisions while installing the implant.
- Precision: CUVIS 3rd generation Orthopedic Robotic systems can make cuts in stages of submillimeter which is nearly impossible by a human hand. The small the cuts the more accurately the implant can be aligned giving long lasting comfort to the patient.

How Does it Work?
Surgical removal of the affected joints is the best way to get rid of extreme arthritic pain. In this treatment plan, the joints that are damaged beyond repair are removed and replaced with artificial implants. Although it is the most invasive procedure, modern technology and automation have made knee replacement safer for patients.
In the CUVIS joint knee replacement surgery, the physician takes a CT scan of your knee and develops a 3D image of the area. This model is used to perform surgery with the help of a robotic arm. This robotic machine follows the 3D model to make precise cuts in the affected area and inserts implants in a proper position.
Arthritis surgery through CUVIS Joint offers a personalized treatment plan to the patient experiencing extreme joint pain. As mentioned earlier, a 3D image of the affected joint is captured in the CT scan. These pictures help physicians plan the surgery. At this stage, the physicians decide the dimensions for implants and the area where they should be inserted.
Based on the 3D model of the patient’s joint, the robots choose accurate artificial implants and insert them precisely into the damaged area.

Common Types of Arthritis
Arthritis affecting your knee joints can make your daily life super stressful. The common types of arthritis people experience are:
- Osteoarthritis (OA): Osteoarthritis occurs because of extreme wear and tear of your knee joints. It damages your cartilage and is one of the most common types of arthritis.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system of your body attacks the healthy cells, damaging your cartilage.
- Post-Traumatic Arthritis (PA): As the name suggests, post-traumatic arthritis occurs years after you have experienced a knee injury.

Robotic TKR: Everything You Should Know About Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery In Mumbai
Total Knee Replacement surgery in Mumbai has evolved a lot since 1968. Since then, the treatment has seen a lot of improvements in terms of procedure, cutting, knee replacement, and the recovery period. As technology is progressing, medical industries have started using modern tools to make this surgical procedure as effective and smooth as possible. One such technology that is all set to become a trend in the TKR procedure is robotics.
The Cuvis Joint is a robotic surgical device, capable of performing virtual surgery. The tool has the potential to offer 3D pre-planning and precise cutting, thus delivering the best results. This high-quality surgical offers innovation, flexibility, ease-of-use, and effective procedure. Robotic surgery is absolutely and is, in fact, a better and more effective way to perform total knee replacement than conventional surgery. Plus, there is a lesser risk of errors.
This innovation was needed, as one of the biggest challenges in the TKR procedure was to ensure proper implantation and alignment. Here’s a detailed look at the Robotic TKR, its process, the tools used, and the reasons why it is better than the manual surgical process.
What is Robotic TKR?
The Robotic TKA involves advanced computer software that has the ability to convert anatomical data into the 3D visual representation of the patient’s knee joint. Robotic TKA is quite similar to traditional total knee replacement surgery. The only difference is that your surgeon does not operate your knee manually. They use a robotic device, usually a handheld tool or a robotic arm, to perform the procedure.
The robotic arm removes the damaged tissue in your knee joint and replaces it with the artificial joint based on the patient’s individual anatomy. Note that the entire procedure is not performed by robots. Contrary to what people believe, robotic TKR does not imply a 100% robotic surgery without a professional’s intervention.
It is performed by a qualified and certified Orthopedic surgeon only with the assistance of a robotic arm. The surgeons know how to operate the robotic handheld devices for implantation, fixing, removal of the damaged tissues, cutting, and other processes precisely.
Why is it Robotic TKR better than conventional or navigation TKR?
In the traditional knee replacement, the surgeon makes a cut, removes the damaged parts, and replaces them with artificial joints without the use of a machine or computer software. The procedure is safe, but human errors can occur. Besides, conventional TKR is not recommended for patients below 60 years. Robotics TKR is a minimally invasive procedure, unlike the conventional technique.
The specialty of the ”Robotic Total Knee Replacement” is that it offers a personalized treatment plan that varies depending on the patient’s unique anatomy. The virtual model is used for the 3D pre-planning of the bone coverage, implementation, and alignment of the limbs based on the patient’s anatomy. The device comes equipped with a robotic arm that carries out the planned operation with accuracy. Here are a few benefits of robotics TKR:
- It involves minimal blood loss and is thus a minimally invasive procedure.
- It has a fast recovery period and limited hospital stay
- The procedure has gained significant popularity in the post-COVID world where the patient’s safety is the surgeon’s utmost priority. The CUVIS Joint causes minimal stress on your knee joints and performs the surgery effectively.
- Causes lesser tissue trauma
- Lesser risks of errors, since there is minimal human intervention needed
- It enables pre-planning, which gives surgeons a better understanding of the best approach to fix the deformity in joints.
The procedure is faster than conventional surgery, as the surgeon spends less time in the OT for identifying the patient’s condition.
In addition, the process creates a 3D model of your joints. Not only does it reduce the risk of errors, but it makes it easier for the surgeon to place the implant correctly. This 3D model provides surgeons a safe place to execute the operation without damaging the surrounding tissues.
Faster Recover with Robotics TKR
One of the biggest short-term benefits of the Robotic Total Knee Replacement, is the fast recovery period. The traditional method is quite invasive and it may require the patient to rest for the next 4-6 weeks following the operation. They cannot start their routine tasks until they are fully recovered and mobile enough to walk like usual.
Robot-assisted knee replacement surgery reduces the recovery period to half the time needed for recovery after the conventional method. The procedure involves smaller cuts, less blood loss, and most importantly, precise implantation and cutting, causing no bone and tissue disturbances. Plus, it improves your natural healing ability.
Robotic TKR Process
The doctors recommend the TKR procedure for arthritis patients, especially if the case has worsened and the pain is uncontrollable. If the patient agrees to the artificial joint replacement surgery, the surgeon takes the CT scan to get a clear picture of their knee joints and the damage. The data collected from the CT scan is converted into a 3D image to give surgeons a better understanding of the damages so they can plan the operation accordingly.
The patient is connected to the handheld robotic device and the surgery site is then matched with the 3D images collected from the CT scan process. Once the registration process is over, the robot gathers data about the surgical site and makes a cut based on the pre-planning done at the pre-surgery stage. As mentioned earlier, robots are only used as an assistant tool and while they do cut the bones and assist in implantation, the doctor’s intervention is still needed to ensure a safe procedure.
Is There any Risk Involved?
Robotic surgery is better than the traditional TKR procedure. So, it doesn’t involve any additional risk. The risks, in fact, are similar to the conventional process. It includes nerve damage, allergic reaction, and infection. However, there is a relatively lesser risk of side-effects and post-operative problems in robot-assisted surgery than in the conventional procedure. Talk to your surgeon about the risks involved and get the robotics TKR done by a professional.
Benefits of CUVIS Joint Knee Replacement
