CK Birla Hospital Expands Robotic Joint Care with Global Collaboration
During his visit, Dr Petterwood engaged with the orthopaedic team, led by Dr Debashish Chanda, through case-based discussions and live surgical observations.
CK Birla Hospital, Gurugram, is expanding its robotic joint replacement programme as part of its precision-led and minimally invasive orthopaedic care approach.
As part of this initiative, the hospital recently held a clinical knowledge-sharing session with Dr Josh Petterwood, an orthopaedic surgeon from Hobart, Australia, known for his work in robotic-assisted hip and knee surgeries.
The hospital stated that the move comes amid a growing burden of joint-related health concerns in India. During his visit, Dr Petterwood engaged with the orthopaedic team, led by Dr Debashish Chanda, director of orthopaedics at CK Birla Hospital, through case-based discussions and live surgical observations.
The session enabled an exchange of ideas on surgical techniques, planning methods, and post-operative recovery.
While commenting on the initiative, Dr Debashish Chanda said, “Robotics in orthopaedics is transforming the way we approach joint replacements. India is witnessing a significant surge in joint issues due to factors such as ageing, sedentary lifestyles, sports injuries, obesity, and poor posture. These challenges call for innovative, technology-driven solutions that not only restore mobility but also minimise complications and enable quicker rehabilitation. At CK Birla Hospital, we have robotics for knee hip and shoulder replacement. We are now not only adopting newer technologies, but we are also shaping its future by combining clinical precision with global collaboration to improve patient outcomes.”
Joint issues are increasingly prevalent in India due to a range of contributing factors, including ageing, obesity, sedentary lifestyles, sports injuries, and poor posture. This has increased demand for advanced surgical tools and techniques to improve precision, reduce complications, and accelerate recovery timelines.
