Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common and life-limiting conditions among active adults and seniors in Bangalore. At 5 Sports Health, Sarjapur Road, advancements in robotic surgery under Dr. Nataraj H M offer precision and faster recovery for OA patients.

Understanding Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement

Robotic knee surgery uses cutting-edge navigation and robotics to guide the orthopedic surgeon during joint replacement. Unlike traditional methods, robotic systems create a 3D map of your knee, allowing Dr. Nataraj H M to tailor every cut with sub-millimeter accuracy, preserve healthy bone, minimize tissue trauma, and achieve perfect alignment and ligament balancing for longer-lasting implants.

Patients benefit through smaller incisions, less blood loss, fewer complications, reduced post-op pain, a shorter hospital stay, and quicker return to daily life or sports.

Who Can Benefit from Robotic Knee Replacement?

This advanced approach is ideal for patients whose pain is not relieved by medication, physiotherapy, or lifestyle changes; men and women with moderate to severe osteoarthritis seeking rapid recovery; Bangalore residents wanting world-class technology locally; and active individuals and athletes aiming for better balance, stability, and joint longevity.

What to Expect at 5 Sports Health

Dr. Nataraj H M and his team begin with comprehensive pre-surgical planning using digital imaging, functional evaluations, and sports-specific tests. The robotic system assists in executing a personalized surgery plan. After surgery, individualized physiotherapy begins the day after, with protocols led by Dr. Pooja Jhade, Head of Physiotherapy. Patients are usually up and walking within 24 hours, with close monitoring of function, swelling, and pain. Advanced recovery approaches—including Pilates, posture correction, and movement retraining—are integrated for best results.
