Knee Replacement Surgery
Robotic knee replacement surgery in Ludhiana at Hunjan Super Speciality Hospital uses the MAKO robotic-arm system for precise, less-painful knee…
What is robotic knee replacement?
- Inner (medial) knee compartment
- Outer (lateral) knee compartment
- Kneecap (patellofemoral) compartment
The MAKO procedure suits both partial and total knee replacement. Using a 3D plan built from your CT scan, the robotic arm helps the surgeon resurface only the diseased part of the knee while preserving healthy bone, ligaments and surrounding tissue - then positions the implant precisely to restore natural movement. At Hunjan Hospital, every robotic knee replacement in Ludhiana is led personally by Dr. Balwant Singh Hunjan.
Robot Assisted Knee & Joint Replacement Surgery
For patients living with severe knee pain from osteoarthritis, surgery can feel daunting. MAKO robotic-assisted knee replacement has changed that - combining a CT-based 3D surgical plan with a robotic arm for accuracy that manual techniques cannot match. At Hunjan Super Speciality Hospital, Ludhiana, this means smaller incisions, less blood loss and a smoother recovery.
Dr. Balwant Singh Hunjan was among the first surgeons to introduce true robotic knee replacement in North India, with over 40 years of orthopaedic experience and more than 8,000 knee replacements performed. His team focuses on accurate, low-pain surgery and structured recovery so patients in Ludhiana and across Punjab can return to an active life with confidence.
Who is the suitable candidate for robotic knee replacement?
If you are a candidate for traditional knee replacement, you may also be eligible for Mako Robotic Arm-Assisted Technology. However, during the initial visit, surgery will not be immediately recommended. There are various knee replacement options, and the doctor will first evaluate your condition before recommending the most suitable one. Initially, less-invasive treatments may be suggested, such as:
- Physical Therapy
- Knee braces
- Cortisone shots
- Anti-inflammatory medications
- Weight loss through exercise and diet
Benefits of Robotic Knee Replacement
MAKO-Assisted Robotic Technology has received widespread acceptance due to its higher satisfaction rates. Here are some of the key benefits of robotic knee replacement surgery:
Economical Long-Term Costs
Robotic knee replacement results in fewer complications, quicker recovery, and fewer hospital visits, making it more cost-effective over time.
Increased Accuracy
The surgeon is able to more accurately remove the diseased part of the knee and place the new implant, improving knee function.
Accurate, Lasting Results
Studies report more accurate implant alignment and positioning with robotic assistance, which is linked to better knee function and longer-lasting results.
Reduced Incision
The incision is only about 3 inches long, which reduces blood loss and scarring.
Minimal Downtime
Most patients begin recovery within 24 hours of surgery.
Organic Results
The robotic technology creates implants that match the natural structure of the knee.
