Knee-d a Miracle? AIIMS Bhubaneswar’s Robotic Knee Surgery Revolutionizes Care

AIIMS Bhubaneswar has opened east India's first government-owned robot-aided knee replacement center, a landmark development in the treatment of arthritis. The very first operation, on a 66-year-old woman with serious arthritis, employed AI-enabled precision to minimize human mistake and align the joint perfectly.

 

Highlights:

 

State-of-the-art technology: The robotic facility provides real-time feedback, enabling the surgeon to make tiny adjustments while operating and execute delicate steps autonomously.

 

Affordable for all: With the backing of Ayushman Bharat, the hospital offers free operations for meritorious patients, driving upscale care towards democratization. 

 

Improved results: The robot technique is varied from traditional as it reduces danger to those suffering from severe deformity or histories of surgeries with faster recovery. 

 

Dr. Bishnu Prasad Patro, the in-charge orthopaedics, pointed to the way that the facility fills medical gaps: "This isn't just precision-it's hope restored for mobility."
