What to Expect in a Robotic Knee Replacement Consultation

Robotic-assisted knee replacement is a modern orthopedic procedure designed to improve precision, reduce recovery time, and deliver better long-term outcomes. If you or a loved one are considering this surgery, understanding what happens during a consultation can help you feel prepared and confident.

At Dr. Dibya Singha’s Orthopedic Clinic, we guide patients through every step—from evaluation to recovery planning. Here’s what you can expect during your robotic knee replacement consultation.

1. Comprehensive Medical Evaluation

Your consultation begins with a thorough review of your medical history, including:

  • Previous knee injuries or surgeries

  • Current medications

  • Any chronic conditions (like diabetes or heart issues)

  • Level of daily activity and mobility goals

This information helps your orthopedic surgeon determine if robotic-assisted knee replacement is the right option for you.

2. Detailed Physical Examination

The surgeon will assess your knee for:

  • Range of motion

  • Stability and alignment

  • Swelling or tenderness

  • Muscle strength around the knee

This physical check helps identify the degree of joint damage and tailor the surgical plan precisely to your needs.

3. Imaging and Diagnostics

Robotic knee replacement relies on accurate imaging for planning. You may undergo:

  • X-rays to assess bone structure

  • MRI or CT scans for detailed joint visualization

  • 3D modeling to guide robotic-assisted surgery

These steps allow the surgeon to create a personalized surgical plan, improving implant fit and long-term outcomes.

4. Discussion of Surgical Procedure

Your doctor will explain:

  • How robotic-assisted surgery works

  • The benefits compared to traditional knee replacement

  • Potential risks and complications

  • Expected recovery timeline

You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions about anesthesia, hospital stay, and post-operative rehabilitation.

5. Personalized Recovery & Rehabilitation Plan

Recovery is just as important as the surgery itself. During the consultation, you’ll receive a customized rehabilitation plan including:

  • Physiotherapy exercises

  • Pain management strategies

  • Timeline for returning to daily activities and work

The goal is to ensure a smooth, safe recovery and optimal mobility after surgery.
