1. What is Tru-Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery?
Tru-Robotic is an advanced joint replacement technique that uses robotic technology to assist the surgeon in planning and performing highly accurate knee, hip, or joint resurfacing surgeries. It ensures precise implant placement, soft tissue balance, and better long-term outcomes.
2. How is Tru-Robotic different from traditional surgery?
Traditional surgeries rely entirely on manual techniques, while Tru-Robotic surgery combines the surgeon’s expertise with robotic precision. This leads to better alignment, less tissue trauma, faster recovery, and lower risk of complications.
3. Is the entire surgery performed by a robot?
No. The robot assists the surgeon by providing 3D mapping, cutting guidance, and real-time feedback. The actual surgery is always performed by a trained orthopedic surgeon.
4. What joints can be treated using Tru-Robotic technology?
At Arcus Hospital, Tru-Robotic is used for total and partial knee replacements, hip replacements (including DAA Hip Replacement), and knee resurfacing.
5. What are the benefits of robotic joint replacement?
- Higher implant accuracy
- Less post-operative pain
- Reduced blood loss
- Faster discharge and recovery
- Fewer complications and revisions
6. Who is eligible for Tru-Robotic surgery?
Most patients with advanced joint arthritis or those needing joint replacement can be considered. A thorough evaluation is conducted to determine suitability.
7. Is Tru-Robotic surgery safe?
Yes, it is extremely safe when performed by experienced surgeons. The robotic system reduces surgical variability and increases accuracy, which enhances patient safety.
8. Will I need special post-operative care after robotic surgery?
Post-op care is similar to conventional surgery but typically involves faster mobility, less physiotherapy, and a quicker return to daily activities due to muscle-sparing techniques.
9. How long does it take to recover from Tru-Robotic joint replacement?
Most patients start walking within a day and recover much faster compared to traditional methods—often resuming normal activities in a few weeks.
10. Why choose Arcus Hospital for robotic joint replacement?
Arcus Hospital is India’s only center where 100% of joint replacements are done robotically. Led by Dr. Rohit Luthra, the hospital performs over 1,000 robotic surgeries annually, offering unmatched expertise, safety, and outcomes.
