Apollo Hospitals in Bengaluru has announced the launch of its first-of-a-kind knee replacement programme, offering specialized partial and total knee replacement care with the use of advanced robotic technology. 

The Robotic system has an advanced computer program that relays precise information about the knee with 3D mapping. The use of next-generation robotics with smaller incisions will result in less pain and lesser blood loss. Precision in bone cutting and better position of the implant with alignment gives a near-normal knee motion for both total and partial knee replacement.

The programme which comes as a package designed for the new normal due to the COVID pandemic comprises of home diagnostic tests/assessments, Apollo 24*7 app consultations, and post-surgical home care made available for the patients.

Dr Pratap C Reddy, Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Group said, “Osteoarthritis is a rising health concern in India, with a prevalence rate between 22 – 39%. To overcome pain and limitations in mobility of such patients, Joint Replacement is the solution. The outcome of surgeries can be improved by leveraging technology. Today, robotic technology has come a long way, helping perform some of the most complicated surgeries with precision, and Apollo Hospitals has always been at the forefront of using technology in healthcare”.
