Aster DM Healthcare has a state-of-the-art and well-established orthopedic department where 2500 knee replacement surgeries have been performed successfully. The department recently launched fully automated, high-precision, joint replacement robots for knee replacement surgeries. In the hospital, diagnostic techniques like CT scans and MRIs are used to find out the extent of the breakage.

During a total knee replacement, the end of the femur bone is removed and replaced with a metal shell. The lower leg bone (tibia) is also removed and replaced with a channeled plastic piece with a metal stem. A plastic "button" under the kneecap surface may also be added depending on the condition of the kneecap portion of the knee joint. The prosthesis is the name given to the artificial components of a total knee replacement. The hospital offers different types of knee replacement surgery Total knee replacement (TKR) and Partial knee replacement (PKR). The partial method has low blood loss, shorter recovery, and a high success rate. Dr. JV Srinivas, Dr. Harsha GN, and Dr. Ravindran are the orthopedic specialists at the hospital.
