CK Birla Hospital, Gurugram, has taken a significant step towards enhancing its Robotic Orthopaedics Programme by organizing a clinical knowledge exchange session with renowned Australian orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Josh Petterwood. The initiative focused on advancing patient-focused care in robotic joint replacements.

Dr Petterwood, known globally for his expertise in robotic-assisted hip and knee surgeries, visited the hospital to engage in collaborative discussions with the orthopaedic team led by Dr Debashish Chanda. The interactive session included real-time surgical observations and detailed case-based conversations, encouraging the exchange of advanced techniques, planning strategies, and recovery practices.

India is witnessing a steep rise in joint disorders, driven by an ageing population, increasingly sedentary lifestyles, sports-related injuries, obesity, and poor posture. These factors highlight the urgent need for sophisticated, tech-enabled surgical solutions that improve precision, lower risks, and ensure quicker recovery times.

According to Dr Debashish Chanda, Director of Orthopaedics at CK Birla Hospital, robotic technology is revolutionizing joint replacement procedures in India. He emphasized that such innovations are critical to restoring mobility, minimizing surgical complications, and enhancing patient recovery outcomes.

This collaboration signifies CK Birla Hospital’s commitment to integrating global expertise with cutting-edge technology, ensuring improved orthopaedic care and better quality of life for patients in India.
