Joshi Hospital Pvt Ltd is first hospital to introduce the robotic joint replacement surgery at taluka level in whole India.
The robot has been honored with the name "Vithu" (Lord Vitthal).
Joint replacement surgery involves removing worn or damaged cartilage from a joint and replacing it with artificial components made of metal and medical-grade plastic. These implants function similarly to a natural joint and help restore movement and relieve pain.
Although many joints can be replaced, the most common procedures involve the knee and hip. Advances in surgical techniques and improved implant materials have made joint replacement one of the most reliable and successful procedures in modern orthopaedic medicine.
Robotic joint replacement surgery further improves precision and alignment, increasing the long-term success of the procedure. Replacement surgeries can be performed for the knee, hip, shoulder, ankle and elbow joints.
