In response to the growing burden of joint-related disorders in India, CK Birla Hospital, Gurugram, has further advanced its robotic joint replacement programme by enhancing global clinical collaboration and investing in precision-led orthopaedic care.
As part of a recent knowledge exchange initiative, the hospital welcomed internationally acclaimed orthopaedic surgeon Dr Josh Petterwood from Hobart, Australia—renowned for his expertise in robotic-assisted hip and knee replacements. During his visit, Dr Petterwood engaged in interactive sessions with the hospital’s orthopaedic team, led by Dr Debashish Chanda, Director of Orthopaedics. The collaboration featured live surgical observations, case-based discussions, and shared insights into surgical planning, technique refinement, and rehabilitation strategies.
With an increasing number of Indians affected by joint issues—driven by factors such as ageing, obesity, sports injuries, sedentary habits, and poor posture—there is a rising demand for advanced, minimally invasive surgical technologies that offer better outcomes and faster recovery.
“Robotic technology is revolutionising the field of joint replacement,” said Dr Debashish Chanda. “To address the rising challenges in musculoskeletal health, we are leveraging cutting-edge innovations that restore mobility with fewer complications and quicker rehabilitation. At CK Birla Hospital, we offer robotic surgeries for knee, hip, and shoulder replacements. Beyond adopting technology, we are shaping its future through international collaboration and clinical excellence.”
CK Birla Hospital houses one of North India’s most advanced robotic orthopaedic setups. Through continuous clinical training, evidence-based care protocols, and global partnerships, the hospital is committed to delivering personalised, minimally invasive orthopaedic solutions tailored to patient needs.
