What is robotic knee replacement?
Robotic knee replacement is knee replacement surgery in which a robotic arm helps the surgeon carry out a plan made for your knee. Before surgery, a CT scan of your leg is turned into a 3D model. Dr. Arun uses this model to choose the size of your implant and exactly where it should sit, so the new joint is aligned and balanced for your anatomy.
During the operation, Dr. Arun guides the robotic arm. The arm keeps the bone cuts within the boundaries of the plan, which helps protect the ligaments and soft tissue around the knee. The robot never operates on its own. Dr. Arun performs the surgery from start to finish.
For patients across Secunderabad and Hyderabad living with knee arthritis, robotic knee replacement at Renova Hospital, Kompally offers the precision of computer planning with the judgement of an experienced joint replacement surgeon.
Step by stepHow robotic knee replacement works
From your first scan to walking again, here is what happens at Renova Hospital.
-
Step 1
Consultation and CT scan
Dr. Arun examines your knee and reviews your X-rays. If robotic surgery suits you, a CT scan of your leg is taken.
-
Step 2
Your 3D knee plan
The scan becomes a 3D model of your knee. Dr. Arun plans the implant size, position and alignment for your anatomy.
-
Step 3
Robotic-arm assisted surgery
Dr. Arun guides the robotic arm, which keeps the bone cuts within the planned boundaries and helps protect surrounding tissue.
-
Step 4
Early walking and physiotherapy
The physiotherapy team helps you stand and walk with support, then guides your exercises through recovery.
Why patients choose itBenefits of robotic knee replacement
A plan made for your knee
Implant size and position are chosen on a 3D model of your own knee before the operation.
Precise implant placement
The robotic arm helps carry out the plan accurately, aiming for a well-aligned, well-balanced knee.
Gentler on soft tissue
Bone cuts stay within set boundaries, helping protect the ligaments and tissue around the knee.
Option of partial knee replacement
When arthritis affects only part of the knee, robotic planning makes partial replacement possible, keeping healthy bone and ligaments.
Walking soon after surgery
Most patients begin supported walking early, with physiotherapy starting in hospital.
Every step explained
Dr. Arun shows you your 3D plan and explains what the surgery and recovery will involve.
Results vary from patient to patient. Dr. Arun will explain what robotic knee replacement can and cannot do for your knee at your consultation.
Two types of surgeryRobotic total and partial knee replacement
Who it is forSigns you may need robotic knee replacement
Robotic knee replacement is usually considered for knee arthritis that has not improved with medicines, physiotherapy, weight management or injections. You may be a candidate if:
- Knee pain that limits walking, climbing stairs or sleep
- Stiffness or swelling that keeps coming back
- A knee that is bending inward or outward
- X-rays showing worn cartilage or arthritis
- Medicines, physiotherapy or injections no longer help
- Pain that stops you doing the things you enjoy
Age alone does not decide it. Dr. Arun looks at your X-rays, general health and how much the knee affects your life.
Am I a candidate?
-
1. Does knee pain limit your walking, stairs or sleep?
-
2. Has the pain lasted more than 3 months despite medicines or physiotherapy?
-
3. Has an X-ray shown arthritis or worn cartilage in your knee?
-
4. Is your knee stiff, swollen or starting to bend inward or outward?
-
5. Is knee pain stopping you from doing things you enjoy?
Your answers suggest surgery may not be needed now. If pain continues, a consultation can confirm the cause and the right treatment.
This check is for general guidance only and is not a diagnosis.
Side by sideRobotic vs conventional knee replacement
| Conventional knee replacement | Robotic knee replacement | |
|---|---|---|
| Planning | Based on X-rays and measurements during surgery | CT-based 3D plan of your knee made before surgery |
| Implant positioning | Guided by manual instruments and the surgeon’s eye | Robotic arm helps place the implant to the plan |
| Bone cuts | Made with standard cutting guides | Kept within boundaries set in the 3D plan |
| Soft tissue | Protected by surgical technique | Technique plus robotic boundaries help protect ligaments |
| Partial knee option | Possible in selected cases | Planned precisely for suitable patients |
| Who operates | The surgeon | The surgeon, assisted by the robotic arm |
After surgeryRecovery after robotic knee replacement
Every recovery is different. Dr. Arun and the physiotherapy team at Renova give you a plan for each stage.

Robotic hip replacement in Hyderabad
The same robotic-arm technology is used for total hip replacement. A CT-based 3D plan of your pelvis and thigh bone helps Dr. Arun choose the implant size and position the new hip socket and stem, aiming for a stable hip with balanced leg length.
It is considered for hip arthritis, avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip and other conditions where the hip joint is worn and painful.
Planning aheadRobotic knee replacement cost in Hyderabad
The cost of robotic knee replacement depends on several things. After your consultation and scans, the hospital gives you a written estimate, so you know what to expect before surgery.
- Total or partial knee replacement
- One knee or both knees
- Type of implant chosen
- Room category and length of stay
- Your health and any other conditions

No. Dr. Arun performs the operation from start to finish. The robotic arm helps him carry out the 3D plan and keeps the bone cuts within set boundaries.
Robotic-arm assisted knee replacement has been used worldwide for many years. Like any surgery it carries some risks, which Dr. Arun explains at your consultation along with how they are reduced.
Most patients start supported walking soon after surgery and continue physiotherapy at home. Recovery time depends on your age, health and the type of replacement; Dr. Arun gives you a personal recovery plan. [Typical timeline from Dr. Arun]
Total knee replacement resurfaces the whole joint. Partial knee replacement replaces only the worn part, keeping healthy bone and ligaments. Your X-rays and CT scan show which is right for you.
There is no fixed age. The decision depends on your symptoms, X-rays, general health and how much the knee affects your life.
Many health insurance policies cover knee replacement. The Renova Hospital insurance desk checks your policy before admission. [Cashless and empanelled insurers]
