Full Knee Replacement Surgery in Punjab – Robotic Total Knee Arthroplasty at Nagpal Robotics

Full knee replacement surgery — also known as total knee arthroplasty (TKA) — is the most comprehensive and definitive surgical treatment for advanced knee arthritis. When the entire knee joint has been destroyed by arthritis, a full knee replacement removes all damaged surfaces and replaces them with precision-fitted artificial components, restoring pain-free movement and full function. At Nagpal Robotics in Bathinda, Punjab, Dr. Parampreet Singh Nagpal has performed over 1,500 successful robotic full knee replacements with a 98% patient satisfaction rate — making Nagpal Robotics Punjab's premier destination for this life-changing surgery.

What is Full Knee Replacement Surgery?

In a full knee replacement, all three compartments of the knee are resurfaced:

• Medial compartment (inner knee) — typically the most severely affected by arthritis
• Lateral compartment (outer knee)
• Patellofemoral compartment (between the kneecap and thigh bone)

The femoral condyles (bottom of thigh bone), tibial plateau (top of shin bone), and optionally the kneecap surface are all replaced with metal and plastic components. The result is a completely smooth, pain-free joint surface that can last 20–25 years with robotic alignment precision.

Who Needs Full Knee Replacement Surgery?

Full knee replacement is recommended when:

• Arthritis affects multiple compartments of the knee (not just one isolated area)
• X-rays show Grade 3 or Grade 4 arthritis with severe joint space narrowing
• Conservative treatments (medications, physiotherapy, injections) have failed for 6+ months
• Knee pain is severe and constant, affecting sleep and daily activities
• Significant knee deformity is present (varus or valgus)
• Rheumatoid arthritis has destroyed the entire knee joint

Robotic Full Knee Replacement at Nagpal Robotics

Nagpal Robotics performs full knee replacement using two advanced robotic systems:

CUVIS Active Robot

Punjab's first fully active robotic system. The CUVIS creates a digital 3D model of the knee from CT scan data, plans every aspect of the surgery, and autonomously performs bone resection within pre-programmed safety boundaries. Every cut is within 0.5mm of the plan.

CORI by Smith & Nephew

A handheld robotic device providing real-time haptic guidance during surgery. Compatible with Smith & Nephew's comprehensive range of full knee replacement implant systems.

Benefits of Robotic Full Knee Replacement vs. Traditional Surgery

• Sub-millimetre accuracy vs. 3–4mm variation in conventional surgery
• Better balanced knee — equal tension on both sides for natural movement
• Longer implant lifespan — 20–25 years vs. 10–15 years historically
• Less post-operative pain and swelling
• Faster return to walking and daily activities
• Lower revision surgery rates

Recovery After Full Knee Replacement at Nagpal Robotics

• Day 1: Walking with support begins within 24 hours
• Days 3–5: Discharge from hospital
• Weeks 2–6: Progressive rehabilitation with physiotherapy
• Weeks 6–12: Walking without support, light daily activities
• Months 3–6: Full recovery and return to normal life
