About the Robotic Joint Replacement Department

Robotic Joint Replacement department at DHS Hospital Ahmedabad

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 senior orthopedic team that has successfully performed 2,000+ knee replacement surgeries (robotic and conventional) with high patient satisfaction.

DHS uses the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution from Johnson & Johnson DePuy Synthes, an imageless platform that needs no pre-operative CT scan and guides bone cuts with sub-millimetre precision. We offer VELYS robotic total knee replacement, partial (uni-condylar) knee replacement, revision knee replacement, and robotic-assisted hip replacement, with cashless treatment available across all major insurers and TPAs.

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.
Is robotic knee replacement covered by insurance?
Yes. VELYS robotic knee replacement is covered by most Indian health insurance policies and TPAs. DHS Multispecialty Hospital is empaneled with major insurers and offers cashless processing. For a personalised written estimate, call our billing desk at +91 9081021444 before admission.
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. Published data on VELYS shows strong alignment accuracy compared with manual technique, 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 knee programme has successfully performed 2,000+ knee replacement surgeries (robotic and conventional) with high patient satisfaction.
