Dr Sanjeev Mahajan, Orthopaedic Surgeon, and Director of Orthopaedics at Fortis Hospital, performed the first successful robotics joint replacement surgery in Ludhiana today, on a 62- year old patient, with severe osteoarthritis-induced knee pain using NAVIO Robotics Surgical System, the latest robotic intervention in joint replacement.
Dr Sanjeev Mahajan explained, “Robotic surgery integrates advanced computer technology with the experience of the skilled surgeons. The surgeon uses intuitive robotics assisted controls and intelligence to enable precision and accuracy at a minute level, which leads to highly desirable results in the patient after the surgery. NAVIO, which is a state-of-the-art technology, enables the surgeon to replace only the damaged part of the knee to absolute perfection, saving all the other normal structures of the joint. Patients can now receive treatment in a manner similar to day-care surgeries.”
Further, he added that the robotics-assisted system eliminates the possibilities of human error and ensures perfect alignment, leading to the longevity of the joint implant. Robotics-assisted joint replacement surgery is extremely satisfying for the patients since it preserves all the natural structures of the joint and offers them a huge advantage of immediate recovery, early discharge and minimal blood loss. It is equally beneficial for the young people who intend to return to their active lifestyle soon.More than 600,000 total knee replacement procedures are performed each year in the U.S. and more than 90% of these patients experience a dramatic relief in knee pain and are better able to perform common activites.1 
The NAVIO◊ Surgical System delivers robotics-assisted tools designed to help tailor your total knee replacement surgery to the unique shape and motion of your knee.
The total knee replacement procedure starts with your unique anatomy in mind. By the time your procedure is complete, the damaged bones and cartilage within your knee joint will be removed and replaced with new implant components. Each of these implant components must fit precisely and be aligned to your natural anatomy if they are to provide you with the best outcome possible. The challenge of aligning your implant and preparing your bones to accept it can be complex, invasive and time consuming because no two knee joints are exactly the same.
The NAVIO Surgical System is designed to help your surgeon not only plan your surgery based on your unique anatomy, but also position your total knee implant using a combination of computer and robotic assistance. The NAVIO procedure starts with an advanced computer system that gathers precise anatomic and alignment information about your joint that your surgeon will use to create your specific surgical plan.
