Overview

  • On June 23, Dr. Sujoy Bhattacharjee led the world’s first robot-assisted cementless medial pivot knee replacement at Max Super Speciality Hospital in Saket, Delhi.
  • The procedure used the CUVIS robotic system and a titanium medial pivot implant designed to encourage natural bone growth without cement.
  • Brij Kishore of Dhanbad, Jharkhand, walked with assistance on the day of surgery and achieved independent mobility within days.
  • Early follow-up indicates robust implant integration and accelerated rehabilitation, with the patient continuing to recover well.
  • Max Healthcare clinicians are assessing the technique for broader application across India, potentially reducing the need for patients to seek treatment abroad.
