About the Robotic Joint Replacement Department

DHS Multispecialty Hospital is one of Ahmedabad's leading destinations for robotic-assisted joint replacement. Our Robotic Surgery programme is led by Dr. Hardik Shah (Medical Director, MS Orthopedic, FRCS Germany) and Dr. Swagat Shah (FIAAS UK), supported by a team that has performed 15,000+ knee surgeries with a 95%+ patient-satisfaction rate. DHS uses the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution from Johnson & Johnson DePuy Synthes — the fastest-growing robotic knee platform in India since its November 2022 launch. Unlike older CT-based platforms (Mako, ROSA), VELYS is imageless: there is no pre-operative CT scan, no extra radiation, and a faster pre-surgical workup. Specialised probes register your knee's anatomy during surgery, software models ligament tension and movement in real time, and the robotic arm guides bone cuts with sub-millimetre precision. Independent 2026 data reports up to 98% alignment accuracy with implants positioned within 1° of plan, comparable complication rates to experienced-surgeon manual TKA, and high early-functional scores. DHS performs VELYS robotic total knee replacement, partial (uni-condylar) knee replacement, revision knee replacement, and robotic-assisted hip replacement, paired with the J&J Attune knee implant system. Most patients stand and walk aided on day 0, are discharged in 2–3 days, return to daily activities in 4–6 weeks, and reach full recovery at 3–4 months. Cashless treatment is available with all major insurers and TPAs; typical out-of-pocket cost in Ahmedabad ranges from ₹3,50,000 to ₹5,00,000 per knee depending on implant choice and room category.

Robotic Joint Replacement — Frequently Asked Questions

What is robotic-assisted joint replacement?
Robotic-assisted joint replacement is a knee or hip surgery in which a computer-guided robotic platform helps the surgeon plan and execute bone cuts with sub-millimetre precision. The surgeon remains fully in control — the robot improves accuracy, alignment, and ligament balance, leading to better long-term implant survival and more natural movement.
Which robotic system does DHS Hospital use?
DHS Multispecialty Hospital uses the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution from Johnson & Johnson DePuy Synthes. VELYS is an imageless platform — no pre-operative CT scan is needed — and is the fastest-growing robotic knee platform in India since its November 2022 launch. It is paired with the J&J Attune knee implant system.
How is VELYS different from Mako or ROSA robotic systems?
Mako (Stryker) and ROSA (Zimmer) are CT-based: they require a pre-operative CT scan and extra radiation. VELYS is imageless and uses intra-operative anatomy mapping instead, which means no pre-op CT cost, no extra radiation, and a faster surgical workup. All major robotic platforms deliver excellent accuracy in experienced hands; the choice often comes down to surgeon preference and implant compatibility.
What is the cost of robotic knee replacement in Ahmedabad?
At DHS Multispecialty Hospital, robotic knee replacement typically costs ₹3,50,000 to ₹5,00,000 per knee, including surgeon fees, the J&J Attune implant, hospital charges, and basic rehabilitation. Cashless treatment is available with major insurers; contact billing at +91 9081021444 for a written estimate before admission.
Is robotic knee replacement covered by insurance?
Yes. VELYS robotic knee replacement is covered by most Indian health insurance policies and TPAs. DHS is empaneled with major insurers and offers cashless processing.
How long is recovery after robotic knee replacement at DHS?
Most patients stand and walk aided on day 0, are discharged in 2–3 days, walk without aids in 1–2 weeks, return to normal daily activities (including driving) in 4–6 weeks, and reach full recovery with complete range of motion at 3–4 months. Early mobilisation and structured physiotherapy at DHS shorten the recovery curve.
Who is a candidate for robotic joint replacement?
Candidates are typically patients with advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic joint damage in the knee or hip whose pain and stiffness are not relieved by medication, physiotherapy, or injections. Robotic surgery is suitable for both primary replacement and revision cases.
Is robotic surgery safer than conventional joint replacement?
Robotic-assisted surgery delivers complication rates comparable to manual surgery performed by experienced surgeons, while reducing alignment error. 2026 published data on VELYS reports up to 98% alignment accuracy (implants positioned within 1° of plan), which is associated with better implant longevity and lower revision risk over 15–20 years.
Who performs robotic joint replacement at DHS Hospital?
The DHS robotic joint replacement programme is led by Dr. Hardik Shah (Medical Director, MS Orthopedic, FRCS Germany) and Dr. Swagat Shah (FIAAS UK). The DHS orthopedic team has performed 15,000+ knee surgeries across multiple platforms with a 95%+ patient satisfaction rate.
How do I book a robotic knee replacement consultation at DHS?
Book online via the DHS Multispecialty Hospital website appointment page, call +91 9081610444, or visit the hospital reception in Gurukul, Ahmedabad. No referral is required; bring previous X-rays/MRIs and current medications.
