Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a well-established surgical solution for patients suffering from severe knee arthritis, especially those who have not found relief through medication or physiotherapy. As the aging population and rising obesity rates contribute to an increased prevalence of knee osteoarthritis, TKR has become a critical intervention. According to the Indian Journal of Orthopaedics, nearly 150,000 knee replacement surgeries are performed annually in India, and this number is expected to rise significantly due to the growing aging population and increasing rates of osteoarthritis and obesity. This trend is likely to continue as more individuals seek surgical solutions to improve mobility and quality of life.
Traditionally, Total Knee Replacement surgeries have been performed using a non-robotic approach. However, recent advancements in medical technology have made robotic-assisted surgeries a preferred choice for many patients due to their precision and faster recovery times.
