Robotic-assisted & conventional surgery — matched to what you need

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.

Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement

Precision planning, built around your own anatomy

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.

  • CT or X-ray based pre-operative planning
  • Real-time intra-operative adjustment for soft-tissue balance
  • Consistent implant alignment across complex deformities
  • Used for total and partial knee replacement, and total hip replacement
Conventional Joint Replacement

Time-tested, still the right choice for many patients

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."

  • Well-established technique with decades of long-term outcome data
  • Shorter operating time in straightforward cases
  • No additional imaging required before surgery
  • Often the more cost-effective option where anatomy is uncomplicated
Making The Choice

How Dr. Singh decides which approach to recommend

01

Imaging Review

Your X-rays or CT scans are reviewed to assess deformity, bone quality and joint alignment.

02

Complexity Assessment

Straightforward anatomy often does equally well with conventional technique; complex deformity benefits more from robotic precision.

03

Patient Discussion

Cost, recovery goals and activity level are factored in before a final recommendation is made together with you.
