What is Robotic Joint Replacement at Deccan Hardikar Hospital in Pune?
Deccan Hardikar Hospital in Pune offers Robotic Joint Replacement for patients requiring hip or knee surgery. Using cutting-edge robotic technology, the programme delivers precise implant placement, reduced post-operative discomfort, and faster return to mobility — making it a clinically advanced option for adults with joint degeneration or injury.
Note: Robotic-assisted surgery does not replace the surgeon — it enhances precision by providing real-time data and guided instrument control during the procedure.
Deccan Hardikar Hospital is a NABH Pre-Accredited superspeciality orthopaedic and referral centre located at 1160/61, University Rd, Shivajinagar, Pune — serving patients across Western Maharashtra and beyond for five decades.
Which joint conditions are treated with robotic surgery at Deccan Hardikar Hospital?
The robotic joint replacement programme at Deccan Hardikar Hospital in Pune addresses a range of degenerative and traumatic joint conditions, including:
- Osteoarthritis of the knee — cartilage wear causing pain and stiffness
- Osteoarthritis of the hip — progressive joint degeneration limiting mobility
- Rheumatoid arthritis affecting the knee or hip joint
- Post-traumatic arthritis following fracture or injury
- Avascular necrosis (osteonecrosis) of the femoral head or knee
- Severe joint deformity affecting gait and quality of life
- Failed previous joint replacement requiring revision surgery
- Bone loss or structural damage not amenable to conservative management
What robotic joint replacement procedures are offered at Deccan Hardikar Hospital?
Deccan Hardikar Hospital in Pune performs robotic-assisted procedures for both major weight-bearing joints. The two primary offerings are:
| Procedure | What It Involves | Key Benefit of Robotic Assistance |
|---|---|---|
| Robotic Knee Replacement | Damaged knee joint surfaces are resurfaced or replaced with a prosthetic implant | Real-time bone mapping ensures implant alignment within sub-millimetre accuracy |
| Robotic Hip Replacement | The damaged femoral head and acetabular socket are replaced with prosthetic components | Optimised cup positioning reduces risk of dislocation and leg-length discrepancy |
Both procedures are performed under anaesthesia by a specialist orthopaedic team. Implant selection and surgical planning are individualised based on pre-operative imaging and patient anatomy.

What is the step-by-step process for robotic joint replacement at Deccan Hardikar Hospital?
- Initial Consultation — Meet Dr. Saurabh Giri or the orthopaedic team to discuss symptoms, medical history, and suitability for robotic-assisted surgery. Use the booking form on this page to schedule your appointment.
- Pre-operative Assessment — X-rays, MRI or CT scans, blood tests, and anaesthesia evaluation are completed. A 3D surgical plan is created using your imaging data to guide robotic implant placement.
- Surgery — Robotic-assisted knee or hip replacement is performed under anaesthesia. The robotic system provides real-time feedback to the surgeon, enabling precise bone preparation and implant positioning.
- Immediate Post-operative Care — Patients are monitored in the recovery unit and, where appropriate, the ICU. Pain management and early mobilisation begin within the first 24 hours.
- In-hospital Rehabilitation — Physiotherapy commences during the hospital stay to restore range of motion, strength, and walking ability.
- Follow-up and Long-term Recovery — Scheduled outpatient reviews track implant performance, wound healing, and functional progress. The care team provides guidance on activity resumption and long-term joint care.

What is the step-by-step patient journey for robotic joint replacement at Deccan Hardikar Hospital?
- Initial Consultation — Meet Dr. Saurabh Giri or the orthopaedic team. Medical history, symptom review, and physical examination are completed. Suitability for robotic surgery is assessed.
- Diagnosis and Pre-operative Planning — Imaging (X-ray, MRI as required) is reviewed. The CUVIS robotic system uses this data to create a personalised surgical plan with defined implant positioning parameters.
- Surgery Day (Day 0–1) — Robotic-assisted hip or knee replacement is performed. Pain is managed with nerve blocks and medications. Most patients begin standing or taking assisted steps within 24 hours.
- Hospital Recovery and Discharge (Day 2–4) — Physiotherapy begins with gentle mobility exercises. Wound care is monitored. Most patients are discharged within 2–4 days, walking with a walker.
- Home and Active Recovery (Week 1–6) — Walking progresses from walker to cane. Home physiotherapy exercises are prescribed. Swelling reduces and range of motion improves. A follow-up review is scheduled at Deccan Hardikar Hospital around weeks 3–6.
- Full Functional Recovery (Week 6 – 6 Months) — Return to normal daily activities including driving (as advised by surgeon). Strengthening exercises continue. Full strength and range of motion are typically restored within 3–6 months.
