Precision Healing With Robotic Joint Replacement
Robotic joint replacement combines a surgeon's skill with real-time robotic precision to plan and place your implant with greater accuracy — for a faster recovery and a more natural-feeling joint.
Why Patients Choose Robotic Surgery
A more precise, personalized path to joint pain relief.
Surgical Precision, Guided by Technology
Robotic joint replacement is an advanced surgical technique where your surgeon uses a robotic-arm system to plan and execute knee or hip replacement with millimeter-level precision. A 3D model of your joint is built before surgery, allowing the implant to be positioned to match your unique anatomy.
- ✓ Surgeon-controlled, not an autonomous robot
- ✓ Personalized 3D surgical plan built from your scans
- ✓ Smaller incisions and less soft tissue disruption
- ✓ Suitable for both knee and hip replacement
Types of Robotic Joint Surgery
DVM offers robotic-assisted procedures across:
• Total Knee Replacement
• Partial (Unicompartmental) Knee Replacement
• Total Hip Replacement
• Revision Joint Replacement
From Scan to Recovery, With Precision at Every Step
Robotic assistance supports your surgeon at every stage — from planning to placement — for a more accurate, personalized outcome.
3D Surgical Planning
A CT scan of your joint builds a personalized 3D model used to plan implant size and position.
→Robotic-Guided Surgery
Your surgeon uses the robotic arm to execute the plan with real-time precision and feedback.
→Precise Implant Placement
The implant is positioned to match your natural alignment and soft tissue balance.
→Guided Recovery
A tailored rehabilitation plan supports faster mobility and long-term joint function.
What Robotic Joint Replacement Can Help With
Robotic-assisted surgery is used across a range of advanced joint conditions to restore mobility and reduce pain.
Advanced Knee Osteoarthritis
Restores joint alignment and function when cartilage damage is severe.
Hip Osteoarthritis
Relieves chronic hip pain and stiffness caused by advanced joint wear.
Post-Traumatic Arthritis
Addresses joint damage resulting from prior fractures or injury.
Joint Deformity
Corrects bowlegged or knock-kneed alignment with precise implant positioning.
Failed Prior Implants
Supports revision surgery when an earlier joint replacement has worn out.
Avascular Necrosis
Replaces joint surfaces affected by loss of blood supply to the bone.
Why Patients Choose Robotic Joint Replacement
Greater precision and a more personalized approach to joint replacement surgery.
Millimeter-Level Precision
Robotic guidance places the implant with far greater accuracy than manual technique alone.
Personalized Surgical Plan
Every plan is built from your own 3D anatomy, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Less Soft Tissue Damage
Smaller incisions and more controlled bone cuts protect surrounding tissue.
Faster Recovery
Many patients regain mobility and return to daily activity sooner than with traditional surgery.
Improved Implant Longevity
Accurate alignment can reduce wear and extend the life of the implant.
Surgeon-Controlled Precision
The robotic arm assists — your surgeon remains in full control throughout.
What Happens During Surgery
Robotic joint replacement is performed under anesthesia in a hospital setting, combining detailed pre-surgical planning with real-time robotic guidance during the procedure itself.
- A pre-operative CT scan builds your personalized 3D joint model
- Anesthesia is administered and the surgical site is prepared
- The robotic arm assists in precise bone preparation
- The implant is positioned according to your surgical plan
- Joint movement and alignment are verified before closing
What to Expect After Surgery
Most patients begin walking with support within a day of surgery, with steady progress over the following weeks.
First Steps With Support
Most patients begin standing and walking with assistance within 24 hours of surgery.
Hospital Discharge
Patients are typically discharged once mobility and pain are well managed.
Physiotherapy Begins
Guided physiotherapy starts to rebuild strength, flexibility, and walking ability.
Return to Daily Activity
Many patients resume light daily tasks and walking without support during this stage.
Full Functional Recovery
Strength and range of motion continue to improve, with most patients resuming normal activity.
Understanding the Risks
Robotic joint replacement is a well-established procedure, but as with any surgery, it carries certain risks.
Infection Risk
As with any surgery, there is a small risk of infection, minimized through sterile surgical technique.
Blood Clots
Reduced mobility after surgery can raise clot risk, managed with early movement and preventive medication.
Implant Wear Over Time
Like all joint implants, robotic-placed implants can wear down and may eventually require revision.
Variable Recovery Pace
Recovery speed varies by patient, overall health, and adherence to physiotherapy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions patients ask about robotic joint replacement.
It's a surgical technique where your surgeon uses a robotic-arm system, guided by a personalized 3D plan, to prepare the bone and place the implant with greater precision than manual instruments alone.
No. The robotic arm assists and guides — your surgeon controls every movement and makes every surgical decision throughout the procedure.
Yes. It's a well-established technique that adds real-time precision to a proven surgical procedure, performed by trained orthopedic surgeons.
Traditional surgery relies on manual measurement and jigs, while robotic assistance uses a 3D surgical plan and real-time feedback for more precise implant positioning.
Most robotic-assisted knee or hip replacements take between 1.5 and 2.5 hours, depending on the complexity of the case.
Most patients stay for 1–2 days after surgery, depending on recovery progress and mobility.
Most patients begin standing and walking with assistance within 24 hours of surgery, under guided physiotherapy.
Most patients resume daily activities within 4–6 weeks, with continued strength and mobility gains over 3–6 months.
Candidacy depends on your joint condition, overall health, and imaging findings. A consultation at DVM will determine suitability.
