The technology
What the robot actually does
The robot does not operate. It builds a 3D plan from your CT, holds the surgeon inside that plan to sub-millimetre accuracy, and verifies alignment and ligament balance before a single cut is finalised.
Precision
Less soft-tissue damage
Bone cuts stay inside the planned boundary, which protects surrounding ligament and muscle.
Cuts stay in the plan
Recovery
Faster mobilisation
Most patients stand and walk with support the same or next day, on a monitored physiotherapy plan.
Stand & walk same day
Verified
Alignment you can measure
Balance and alignment are recorded intra-operatively — accuracy is verified, not estimated.

How it tracks you
Optical trackers pinned to the bone
Tracker arrays fixed to the femur and tibia let the system map your knee in real time, so every cut is checked against the plan as it happens.

The robot never operates on its own. It is a guiding tool controlled entirely by the orthopaedic surgeon, with the navigation display live throughout.
Choosing the operation
Total knee or half knee?
Robotic knee replacement can be a total replacement or a partial one, depending on which part of the knee joint is damaged. That decision rests on how much cartilage is destroyed, how much pain and swelling you have, and how much your daily function is limited. Only your treating doctor can assess it.
Total knee replacement
When arthritis has spread across the joint
Arthritis wears out the bone surfaces inside the knee. Once tablets and exercises stop holding that in check, resurfacing the whole joint is the option left. Implant size and seating are worked out beforehand against a 3D model built from your own knee, which also lets us tell you in advance which activities you should get back.
- Also called robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty
- Walking with support usually begins inside the first 24 hours
- Look after it and a current implant runs 25 to 30 years, often longer
Half knee replacement
When only one compartment is worn
Also called unicompartmental knee replacement. The surgeon resurfaces the one worn compartment — usually the medial side, sometimes the lateral — and leaves your healthy bone, cartilage and ligaments where they are. You get a smaller incision, less blood lost, barely any scar, and a knee that still moves much the way yours did.
- For early osteoarthritis that has stayed inside a single compartment
- Current partial implants are built for 15 to 20 years, frequently longer
- At NHS Ortho Robotics, most half knee patients go home within a day
You may be a candidate for half knee replacement if you
- Have osteoarthritis that is still confined to a single knee compartment.
- Still get persistent knee pain despite medication or physiotherapy.
- Care about the knee still bending and feeling like the one you were born with.
- Would prefer a quick recovery and a shorter hospital stay.
Bring your X-ray or MRI to the consultation. Whether a half knee is appropriate can only be decided after a skilled orthopaedic surgeon examines you and your imaging.
How long it lasts
Five things that decide how long your implant lasts
Longevity does not depend on the surgery alone. Alignment, implant material, your weight, your activity level and your rehabilitation all matter. Robotic systems help on the first of those by positioning the implant to millimetre accuracy, which reduces wear over time.
Surgical accuracy
Even a slight misalignment shortens implant life. Robotic assistance controls positioning, alignment and ligament balance.
Implant material
The bearing pairs high-grade titanium with an advanced polyethylene liner — a combination chosen because it wears slowly and stays smooth under load.
Your activity level
Walking, swimming and cycling strengthen the muscles around the joint. High-impact activity such as running or jumping accelerates wear.
Weight management
Keeping to a healthy weight reduces the load the implant carries every day.
Post-operative rehabilitation
A structured physiotherapy programme restores flexibility, muscle strength and a balanced gait. Every patient here follows a guided plan.
Robotic hip replacement
Total hip replacement, planned in 3D
In a total hip arthroplasty the worn joint comes out and a prosthetic implant goes in — that is what takes the pain away and gives you your movement back. How the hip feels afterwards is largely down to where the cup sits, so inclination and anteversion are settled on a 3D model of your pelvis before a single implant is opened.
Primary hip replacement
For arthritis and hip pain that no longer responds to conservative treatment.
Revision hip replacement
Redoing a previous hip replacement that has loosened, worn or failed. Also offered for knee and shoulder.
Hip and knee preservation surgery is also part of the service, so replacement is not the automatic answer for everyone who walks in.

The department
Four areas the orthopaedics team covers
Beyond joint replacement, the department runs paediatric orthopaedics, scoliosis and spinal deformity, and sports medicine, with physiotherapy and bone density screening in-house.
Joint replacement & reconstruction
Arthritis is the word for bone surfaces inside the knee that have worn out. Once tablets and exercises can no longer keep it under control, replacing the joint enters the conversation. Robotic knee surgery is the advanced technique used for that today, performed as a total or a partial procedure depending on which part of the joint has gone.
Paediatric orthopaedics
Bone, joint and back problems in children, managed with or without an operation. Bones that are still growing behave differently, which is why this is its own specialist service and why the surgeon's training matters. Reasons to bring a child here include a curve in the spine, walking that is not normal, developmental delay, skeletal dysplasias, a tumour, crooked limbs, broken bones and legs of unequal length.
Scoliosis
Treatment is graded to the curve. A mild bend can be managed with physiotherapy and medication. A moderate bend may need physiotherapy or a brace (thoracolumbosacral orthosis, or TLSO back brace), and in some cases surgery. For a severe curve, surgery is the solution.
Sports medicine
Rest, immobilisation and physiotherapy come first. Where they do not work, or the damage is severe, surgery follows: plates, wires, screws or rods for broken bones, a new natural or artificial ligament for a torn knee ligament, and arthroscopic techniques for shoulder ligament injuries and rotator cuff tears. Tendonitis, dislocations, injuries to the AC joint of the shoulder and cruciate ligament tears are all managed in this clinic.
Clearing the air
What people get wrong about knee replacement
Every week somebody puts off an operation because of something they heard. These are the six we field most often in the OPD, answered plainly.
Myth
"Only old people need a knee replaced."
Fact: What we weigh is how far the joint has been destroyed and how much that is costing you day to day — not the number in your file. Someone much younger, carrying advanced arthritis, an old injury or a deformity, can be an entirely reasonable candidate.
Myth
"The pain is terrible and you are laid up for months."
Fact: The robotic route starts with a precise 3D plan of your knee drawn before the first incision, so less tissue is disturbed and rehab moves along sooner. Plenty of patients are on their feet inside the first day and back in their normal routine earlier than they had braced for.
Myth
"Letting a machine near my knee sounds risky."
Fact: Nothing happens without the surgeon. Your orthopaedic surgeon drives the system from start to finish; its job is to map the knee joint live and hold every cut inside sub-millimetre tolerance.
Myth
"I will only have to get it redone in a few years."
Fact: Cared for properly, a current implant runs 25 to 30 years and often beyond. Wear slows when alignment is correct and load is spread evenly across the joint — which is exactly what the robotic accuracy is buying you.
Myth
"I will never move freely again afterwards."
Fact: Most people finish up moving better than they did before the operation. Once recovery is behind you, stairs, cycling, walking and the rest of your day are all back on the table.
Myth
"The robot is just an expensive gimmick."
Fact: The map is drawn from your anatomy, the bone cuts follow that map, and ligament balance is tuned to your own structure. Those are measurable differences in accuracy and safety, not a sales line.
What to expect
From first consultation to walking again
People heal quicker when they are not anxious, and they are far less anxious once they know the sequence. So here is the route a joint replacement takes at this hospital, step by step.
01
Pre-admission counselling
Schedules, cost estimates and logistics are discussed up front. Pre-anaesthetic checkups are started, medication is adjusted and insurance approval is verified beforehand so nothing is delayed on the day.
02
Diagnostics & consultant review
Imaging and pathology are done in-house, digital reports sync immediately, and the senior consultant reviews them. Any input needed from other departments is lined up at this stage.
03
Surgery & inpatient care
The operation is planned on a 3D model of your joint and carried out to that plan. Your senior consultant supervises the inpatient stay, with intensive care physicians and nursing teams on the floor at every hour of the day.
04
Mobilisation & discharge
Walking with support usually starts inside the first 24 hours, and half knee patients frequently go home the same day. Discharge hands you a medical summary, the medicines to take home, instructions for the wound and for diet, and numbers to ring in an emergency.
05
Rehabilitation at home
Expect 6 to 8 weeks of physiotherapy before you are fully back. The folder you go home with sets out what to eat, which exercises to do and when to return, and the nursing station rings you for tele-monitoring check-ins in between.
Cashless and TPA, sorted before you arrive
A dedicated TPA desk handles pre-authorisation, queries and settlement directly with your insurer. Bring your policy card and photo ID to the cashless desk when you are admitted — clearance normally comes back within two to four hours. If you would rather know before you travel whether robotic joint surgery is covered, email that same card with your doctor's recommendation to info@nhshospital.in.

Technology & infrastructure
What sits behind the operation
A joint replacement is only as good as the theatre, the imaging and the recovery that surround it. NHS Hospital is a 200-bed tertiary care institution with 45 critical care beds and 31+ super-specialists on site.
Laminar airflow modular theatres
Digital theatres running laminar flow and high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration, which strip airborne contaminants out of the room while you are on the table. Imaging streams in live and the paperwork is entirely electronic.
Silent 1.5 Tesla MRI and low-radiation CT
Silent MRI (GE), low radiation CT (Revolution ACTs ES), digital X-ray, fluoroscopy and bone densitometry, all in-house. MRI and CT run 24 hours for emergencies.
WHO Surgical Safety Checklist
Followed for every single operation, and audited regularly by the internal hospital quality committee.
Central Sterile Services Department
Nothing reaches a theatre until it has cleared both chemical and biological sterilisation checks.
45 critical care beds
Consultant-led intensive care surveillance round the clock, with the ICU swabbed and tested regularly.
Bone density screening
Densitometry with osteoporosis management, so weak bone is identified and treated rather than discovered late.

Spine & children
Scoliosis, children's bones and back pain
Not everyone who comes through this department needs a joint replaced. A large part of the work is spinal curvature in adolescents, growing bones in children, and back pain in adults.
Scoliosis: catch the curve early
In scoliosis the spine bends sideways where it should not, taking a C or an S shape. The cause may be congenital, it may be neuromuscular, or it may be idiopathic — meaning nobody can say. A small curve sometimes needs nothing beyond watching. A severe curve, or one that keeps progressing, has to be treated: left alone it grows with the child and begins to interfere with the lungs and the heart.
Signs to look for
- Uneven shoulders
- An asymmetrical waist
- One hip higher than the other
- Back pain
Curves are measured on 3D spine imaging alongside posture analysis. A mild one is usually held in check with custom bracing, physiotherapy and posture work. Once a curve is moderate or severe, the correction is mapped digitally and carried out with robotic assistance, with physiotherapy and muscle strengthening filling the months afterwards.
Children's bone and joint problems
A child's skeleton is still being built. It is not an adult skeleton in miniature, and a bad fall or an untreated deformity during that building phase can shape how the child stands, and how comfortable they are, for decades afterwards.
- Flat feet. The arch never quite forms, and the child tires quickly or complains of aching legs. Time sorts most of them out; the rest do well on guided exercises or custom footwear.
- Bow legs and knock knees. Toddler legs curve out or turn in for a while and that is ordinary. Get it looked at if the curve is not fading, or is getting worse.
- Growth plate injuries. Damage to the soft zone sitting at the end of a growing bone can throw off the way that limb lengthens.
- Developmental dysplasia of the hip. A socket that has not formed properly shows itself as an awkward walk or legs of unequal length. Found early enough, it can be put right completely.
- Playground and sports injuries. Sprains and fractures, managed through to full rehabilitation.
Bring your child in if you notice
Joint pain or swelling that will not settle. A limp, or a gait that looks uneven. A leg that seems shorter or more bowed than its pair. Trouble bending down or managing a flight of stairs. Walking milestones that are arriving late.
Back pain: what is actually causing it
Twenty-four vertebrae sit one on top of another, cushioned by intervertebral discs, strapped together by muscle and ligament, with small facet joints running the length of the column. Any one of those parts can be where the pain is starting.
- Muscular strain. Lifting badly, twisting suddenly or simply doing too much in one go. The ache usually stays in one spot rather than travelling.
- Herniated disc. A disc's soft centre escapes through the tough ring around it and leans on a nerve root. That is what sends pain, numbness or weakness down the leg.
- Spinal stenosis. The canal carrying the cord narrows until it crowds the cord and nerves inside it. Expect back pain, leg pain, and trouble walking any real distance.
- Degenerative disc disease. Discs dry out and flatten over the years, losing the give that once cushioned every movement. A common source of back pain that never quite goes away.
Radicular pain that travels down a nerve into the leg, and muscle spasms that lock you up, both need assessment. Surgery is a last resort, considered only when rest, physical therapy, medication and injections have failed to give relief.

FAQ
Before you book
What is robotic joint replacement surgery?
A robotic arm assists the surgeon through the replacement so the bone work lands exactly where it was planned to land. The system first builds a 3D model of your joint from your imaging, then holds the surgeon inside that plan — which is what improves the result and shortens the time it takes you to get moving again.
Does the robot perform the surgery on its own?
No — it has no independent function at all. The orthopaedic surgeon operates it from the first step to the last, and what it contributes is a live map of the joint that keeps cuts inside sub-millimetre tolerance. Think of it as sharpening the surgeon's hand, never as substituting for it.
How does the robotic operation compare with the conventional one?
Set against the traditional method, the robot-assisted operation is more precise, goes in through a smaller incision, leaves you in less pain, gets you moving again sooner, and holds up better over the years that follow.
How long does knee replacement recovery take?
Walking generally begins within 24 hours of a robotic knee replacement. Getting the whole way back takes roughly 6 to 8 weeks of physiotherapy. Patients who have had a half knee here are frequently discharged the same day.
What is the difference between a total and a half knee replacement?
A half knee replacement — the unicompartmental operation — resurfaces the one worn compartment, medial or lateral, and leaves the healthy bone, cartilage and ligaments in place. A total replacement resurfaces the joint entirely. Which one you need turns on how much cartilage has gone, how much pain and swelling you have, and how far your daily function has narrowed. That is a judgement only your treating doctor can make.
How long will my implant last?
A partial knee implant is built for 15 to 20 years and frequently outlasts that; a full replacement, looked after properly, generally runs 25 to 30 years or more. What decides the number is how accurately it was put in, what it is made of, what you weigh, how hard you use it, and how seriously you take your rehabilitation.
Am I too old or too young for a knee replacement?
Age on its own decides nothing. We go on your pain, the X-ray grade, how far you can walk and how fit you are generally — in short, how badly the joint is damaged and how much that damage is costing your daily life. A good number of patients are managed without any operation at all.
What can I do after surgery, and what should I avoid?
Nearly everyone gets their movement back — stairs, a bicycle and a normal day's walking are all realistic again. Build swimming, cycling and walking into the week, because the muscles around the implant carry a good share of the load. Running and jumping are the things to leave out: repeated pounding wears the bearing surface faster than anything else. Past that it comes down to weight, diet, and actually turning up for physiotherapy and follow-ups.
How long is the hospital stay and recovery?
Typically a short inpatient stay with walking started early, followed by a structured physiotherapy plan continued at home. You go home with a discharge folder covering medicines, wound care, diet and scheduled follow-up dates.
My surgery is planned. What happens on the day I am admitted?
You are counselled before admission and your diagnostic checks are completed. Your medical history is handed over, a room is allotted to you, and one of the senior consultants then examines you clinically before theatre.
Is robotic surgery worth the extra cost?
We explain both options honestly, with costs, and recommend robotics where the accuracy genuinely changes your result.
I am travelling from Himachal or Jammu. How do we plan it?
Send reports on WhatsApp first. We schedule consultation, tests and surgery close together so one trip is usually enough. If you want a formal review before travelling, the Second Opinion Clinic normally returns an evaluation within 24 to 48 hours.
Do you accept insurance and TPA panels?
Yes. A dedicated cashless and panel helpdesk deals with the major TPAs, public insurers and corporate health schemes. Hand your policy card and photo ID to the cashless desk when you are admitted; the TPA usually clears the file within two to four hours.
My child has a limp or a curved spine. Do you see children?
Yes. Paediatric orthopaedics and scoliosis run as separate services inside the department, covering flat feet, bow legs and knock knees, growth plate injuries, developmental dysplasia of the hip, spinal curvature and playground injuries. Book a slot if joint pain or swelling is not settling, if there is a limp, if one leg looks shorter or more bowed than the other, if bending or stairs have become hard work, or if walking milestones are being missed.
Walk without pain. Start with one consultation.
