Rex Hospital, Coimbatore today inaugurated  the sophisticated Ingenious 3rd generation fully Automatic Joint Replacement Robotic System in their ortho surgery armamentarium. This is the first fully automatic robotic system introduced in Tamilnadu for Joint replacement.

Dr. Sylendra Babu, IPS, DGP, Tamilnadu State, inaugurated the Robotic Knee Surgery.

During the address he stressed the need for healthy life and exercise and more importantly have more work for legs that would ensure healthy life. The miracles of Science has made it happen for us to live longer. He also congratulated the hospitals for making this service available in Tamilnadu.

Osteoarthritis of knee is a common problem with prevalence of 1 out 5 people after the age of 60 years. Few of them end up in several pain due to arthritis needing joint replacement. The procedure of total knee arthroplasty has advanced greatly with the development of new materials and the increasing understanding of the knee joint biomechanics. An accurate alignment of the component and soft tissue balancing has been cited as the crux for the success of total knee arthroplasty. Artificial intelligence and automation have brought revolution in healthcare industry. This technological advancement has also been a blessing in Orthopaedics to treat the patients with knee arthritis with robotic knee replacement.

After the advent of robotic technology in various surgeries, the robotic surgery in joint replacement has come ahead with its highly accurate and precise designing according to the individual shape and size. The ROBOTIC system in the hands of experienced orthopaedic surgeon, provides high degree of precision, with very minimal removal of bone. The post-operative recovery is very smooth with much less pain and compared to traditional knee replacement. The surgery is done with minimal intervention resulting in less chance of infection.
