Robotic Knee Replacement
CT-planned, robotic-arm precision for end-stage knee arthritis — sub-millimetre implant alignment, gentler soft-tissue handling and a faster return to walking. Performed by a Singapore fellowship-trained surgeon.
What it is
Robotic knee replacement combines a 3D plan built from your own CT scan with a precision-guided cutting tool that carries out that plan to within sub-millimetre accuracy. The surgeon plans, supervises and operates — the robotic arm simply holds every bone cut inside tolerances tighter than the human hand can reliably keep.
For most patients this means more accurate implant alignment, less collateral tissue damage, and a noticeably faster early recovery than manual instruments allow. Dr. Kalambe Patil completed his international fellowship in robotic joint replacement in Singapore and uses computer-assisted planning for the majority of his knee arthroplasty cases.
Conditions it treats
- Severe osteoarthritis of the knee
- Bow-leg (varus) and knock-knee (valgus) deformity
- Post-traumatic arthritis of the knee
- Inflammatory and rheumatoid arthritis affecting the knee
- Failed previous knee surgery (revision replacement)
What to expect
CT-based planning
A pre-op CT builds a 3D model of your specific knee. Implant size, alignment and position are planned digitally before the day of surgery.
Robotic-arm execution
The arm physically prevents bone cuts from straying outside the planned path — sub-millimetre accuracy on every cut.
Real-time knee balancing
Ligament tension is tracked through trial motion so the knee is balanced from data, not from feel.
Same-day mobilisation
Most patients stand within 4-6 hours and walk a few steps with a walker by the same evening.
3-4 night hospital stay
Each day the walking distance increases under guided physiotherapy.
Structured recovery
Cane-free walking by week 3-4, normal daily routines by week 6, full recovery by 3-4 months.
Patient stories
Lives transformed
"I met Dr. Harshal V Kalambe Patil for my mother's knee pain. I am very much satisfied with the treatment. Dr Harshal and his entire staff are very caring. Her knee replacement went perfectly fine."
Mother — knee replacement · Nov 2024
"My mother total hip replacement is done at Osteon. She is very happy and walking comfortably. Staff and doctor both are very approachable and understanding. I would surely recommend this hospital."
