Robotic Knee Replacement vs Conventional Knee Replacement at Wockhardt Hospitals: What Patients Should Know

Knee pain caused by arthritis or long-standing joint problems can make even simple daily activities difficult. For many patients, knee replacement surgery offers lasting relief and a chance to return to an active, comfortable life.

At Wockhardt Hospitals, patients have access to both conventional knee replacement and advanced robotic-assisted knee replacement, allowing doctors to choose the best option for each individual.

Conventional Knee Replacement

In conventional knee replacement surgery, the surgeon removes the damaged parts of the knee joint and replaces them with an artificial implant. The bone cuts and implant positioning are done using standard surgical instruments and are based on the surgeon’s experience and judgment.

This method has been used successfully for many years and has helped thousands of patients reduce pain and improve mobility.

Robotic Knee Replacement

Robotic knee replacement is a newer and more advanced technique available at Wockhardt Hospitals. Before surgery, a detailed 3D image of the patient’s knee is created. This helps the surgeon plan the surgery according to the patient’s exact knee shape and alignment.

During the operation, a robotic-assisted system helps the surgeon perform precise bone cuts and place the implant accurately. The robot does not operate on its own—the surgeon is in full control at every step.

“Robotic knee replacement allows us to plan and perform surgery with much greater precision. By customizing the procedure to each patient’s knee, we can achieve better alignment, faster recovery, and more natural movement after surgery.”

— Dr. Mukund Agrawal

Key Benefits of Robotic Knee Replacement

Which Option Is Right for You?

Both conventional and robotic knee replacement surgeries are safe and effective. However, robotic knee replacement offers greater precision and customization, which may lead to better long-term results for suitable patients.

At Wockhardt Hospitals, the choice of procedure is made after a detailed evaluation, keeping the patient’s age, lifestyle, knee condition, and overall health in mind.
