Chandigarh, Apr.27, 2026:--A 74 years Canada resident underwent a successful robotic knee replacement surgery at Shalby Hospital, Mohali. The surgery helped to restore the patient's mobility, who was wheelchair-bound for nearly three years after suffering advanced bilateral knee osteoarthritis, severe deformity, and long-standing loss of mobility.
The patient had approached Shalby Hospital after facing a long waiting period for staged knee replacement surgery in Canada.
Dr Pardeep Aggarwal, chairman-ortho & joint replacement surgery at Shalby Hospital, Mohali said that the patient had significant bone defects and deformity in both knees thus making the case complex and requiring specialized surgical planning. The deformity was severe enough to require revision implants on the tibial side.
The patient showed encouraging recovery by standing and walking with support within 24 hours of robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery, informed Dr Aggarwal.
Robotic-assisted knee replacement is increasingly being adopted worldwide for its ability to enhance surgical precision, optimize implant positioning, and support improved alignment in complex cases, said Dr Aggarwal.
Dr. Akshat Srivastva, consultant ortho said that Robotic-assisted knee replacement represents a major advancement in ortho surgery, especially for patients with severe deformity and advanced arthritis. The technology allows greater precision in pre-operative planning and implant positioning, which can translate into better alignment, early mobility, and improved patient confidence after surgery.
