~ The center excels in joint replacements with precision and speed, with the adoption
of Robotic surgical techniques
~ Dr. Madan Mohan Reddy and his team completed around 370 procedures in less than one year
Chennai, October 13 2022: Apollo Institute of Orthopaedics, a dedicated Centre for joint replacements successfully completed 370 robotic orthopaedics procedures over ten months since the launch. The Apollo Institute of orthpaedics began offering cutting-edge minimally invasive robotic surgical techniques and technology, since January 2022.
India is estimated to emerge as osteoarthritis (OA) capital of the world with 60miIIion patients by 2025. Osteoarthritis is growing global concern and knee arthritis contributes the most to the overall burden. Technological advancements such as robotic arm-assisted technology is revolutionizing knee and hip replacement surgeries enabling higher accuracy and significantly improved patient outcome versus the conventional technique.
A robotic knee replacement is just like a traditional knee replacement. The surgeon removes damaged tissue in the knee and replaces it with an artificial joint. The highlight is that robotic knee replacement surgery is done with the assistance of a robotic arm or handheld robotic device. Robotic technology helps the surgeon to achieve accuracy, alignment, and balance during the actual surgery, with the help of a robotic arm the surgeon will shape the surrounding bone before placing the knee implant and will be able to see the knee and position the implant properly. This enables the surgeon to map out incisions and there will be no instrument slipping or injury to other tissues. This procedure is has revolutionized the knee replacement concept.
Dr. Madan Mohan Reddy, Joint Replacement Surgeon, Apollo Hospitals said “With the robotic arm, reproduction of precise bone cuts for patients can be done, every single time, first on a virtual 3D model and then in the operation theatre. Several studies prove that patients who underwent robotic arm-assisted surgery experienced improved early function, lower post-op pain, less need for analgesics, faster recovery and higher patient satisfaction compared to manual surgery. The success rate in conventional knee replacement surgery is about 90% to 95% but with robotic-assisted surgeries, the accuracy is cent per cent. Patients recover faster and relief is long-lasting”
Ms. Preetha Reddy, Executive Vice Chairperson, Apollo Hospitals Group said, “At Apollo, we are bringing in cutting edge medical technology, representing the next era of healthcare innovation to treat patients. Robotic Orthopaedic procedures were introduced at Apollo in the —- year ), this has helped us in helping patients recover from joint and knee ailments with ease enabling them with quicker recovery. This centre has become the busiest centre by already completing 370 robotic knee replacement procedures since January 2022. Dr. Madan Mohan Reddy and his team, now holds the distinction of completing the maximum robotic knee replacements in the state of Tamil Nadu.”
Apollo Hospitals is excited to bring this world class technology and treatment for patients requiring knee and hip replacement.
