Not every knee needs a robot, and not every hip needs a full replacement. Dr. Singh explains, in plain terms, which approach fits your joint before recommending one.
3D imaging is used to build a plan of your joint before surgery. The robotic arm then helps position and align the implant within that plan, correcting for the natural variation in every patient's bone shape and soft-tissue balance.
Conventional surgery relies on manual instrumentation and surgeon experience rather than a robotic arm. For straightforward joint anatomy, outcomes between conventional and robotic-assisted surgery are comparable — the decision is about anatomy and complexity, not about which technique is "better."
Your X-rays or CT scans are reviewed to assess deformity, bone quality and joint alignment.
Straightforward anatomy often does equally well with conventional technique; complex deformity benefits more from robotic precision.
Cost, recovery goals and activity level are factored in before a final recommendation is made together with you.
