Navi Mumbai – Dr. Kunal Makhija, a renowned Joint Replacement surgeon performed successful bilateral Knee Replacement surgery on a patient 53-year-old woman weighing 110 Kg has overcome the burden of knee pain and immobility through successful robotic knee replacement surgery on both knees using ROSA Knee Robotic System, a cutting-edge technology. This remarkable transformation has not only restored her ability to walk confidently but also signifies a new chapter of freedom and independence for her. The innovative use of robotics in orthopedic surgery has paved the way for enhanced precision, faster recovery times, and improved outcomes for patients facing similar challenges.

Elderly individuals who are overweight often struggle with knee pain, as the combination of age-related degeneration and the strain of excess weight on knee joints is increasing. Due to lower bone density and muscle strength in older patients, their recovery post-surgery can be more challenging. Additionally, the added weight on the knee joint can accelerate wear and tear processes, complicating surgery and potentially compromising long-term results. To improve outcomes for elderly patients undergoing knee replacement surgeries, it is recommended to focus on weight management and exercise routines to reduce risks associated with obesity. Despite efforts such as dieting or avoiding physical activity to lose weight, many patients find it difficult to achieve significant weight loss and experience worsening pain over time.
