Robotic joint replacement uses a CT scan or live data to build a 3D plan of your joint before and during surgery. The robot helps Dr. Tomar prepare the bone within planned boundaries and check ligament balance in real time. The robot does not operate on its own — Dr. Tomar is in full control of every step.
| Robotic-assisted joint replacement | Conventional joint replacement | |
|---|---|---|
| Planning | 3D, patient-specific | 2D X-ray templating |
| Bone preparation | Guided by real-time boundaries | Manual jigs and cutting blocks |
| Ligament balance | Live data during surgery | Assessed by feel |
| Surgeon control | Full (robot assists only) | Full |
| Cost | Higher | Standard |
| Who it suits | Decided case by case | Decided case by case |
Both approaches give excellent results when the surgery is well planned. Dr. Tomar will explain which option fits your knee or hip, and why.

| Joint | Common conditions |
|---|---|
| Knee | Knee arthritis, osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, meniscus tears, cartilage damage |
| Hip | Hip arthritis, avascular necrosis (AVN), rheumatoid arthritis |
| Shoulder & elbow | Shoulder arthritis, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow |
| Any joint | Joint stiffness, bone and joint injuries, sports injuries |
Do You Need a Joint Replacement? Signs to See a Specialist
Not every painful joint needs surgery. Book an evaluation with an orthopaedic surgeon if you have:
- Knee pain while walking or difficulty climbing stairs
- Knee stiffness, locking, or a bow-leg or knock-knee deformity
- Hip or groin pain, or difficulty sitting down and standing up
- Pain that keeps you awake at night
- Pain after a previous knee or hip replacement
- A sports injury that makes your knee unstable
- Shoulder pain or weakness that limits daily tasks
Many patients improve with activity changes, physiotherapy, medicines or injections. Joint replacement surgery is considered when these no longer help and your X-rays show advanced joint damage. See how joint replacement surgery in Delhi is planned and performed.
