Fortis Hospital Noida: First center in Delhi NCR & in Uttar Pradesh to integrate Robotic Joint Replacement with Augmented Reality for Knee Surgery

Noida : Fortis Hospital, Noida, achieved a significant clinical milestone by becoming the first center in Delhi/ NCR and Uttar Pradesh to successfully integrate robotic joint replacement with an augmented reality system for knee replacement surgery. This groundbreaking procedure was performed on Mrs. Hira Devi, a 69-year-old patient suffering from severe bilateral osteoarthritis, with the right knee more severely affected than the left.

Dr. Atul Mishra, Director & Head of Orthopaedics at Fortis Hospital, Noida, led the surgical team in this pioneering surgery and utilized the Pixee Augmented Reality System. This state-of-the-art technology from France represents a significant leap in orthopaedic surgery, allowing for precise alignment and minimally invasive procedures. "The complexity of Mrs. Devi's condition, especially the severe deformity in her right knee, posed a considerable challenge. Traditional knee replacement methods would have been less effective and more costly due to the need for additional implants and extensive surgery," said Dr. Mishra. "With the Pixee system, we achieved optimal alignment with minimal bone and soft tissue resection, ensuring a faster, less painful recovery for our patient."

Dr. Mishra further added, "This operation is not just a first for Fortis Hospital Noida but a groundbreaking moment for orthopaedic surgery in India. The integration of robotic precision with augmented reality technology in joint replacement is a game-changer, offering enhanced safety, efficacy, and quicker recovery times for patients."

Mr. Mohit Singh, Hospital Director of Fortis Hospital Noida, said, “Fortis Hospital Noida has always been at the forefront of medical innovation, and this surgery is a testament to our commitment to excellence. Being the first in India to perform such a complex and technologically advanced procedure is not just an achievement for our hospital but a leap forward for medical science in our country. We are proud to offer our patients the latest in medical technology and treatment options."

This pioneering surgery at Fortis Hospital Noida not only sets a new standard in orthopaedic care in India but also demonstrates the hospital's dedication to adopting cutting-edge technologies to provide the best possible outcomes for their patients.
