Amrita Hospital, Faridabad Achieves 100+ Robotic Assisted Joint Replacements Milestone in less than one year

First in the city to provide comprehensive robotic-assisted hip and knee replacements, led by India’s first UK fellowship-trained robotic surgeon

Faridabad, August 21, 2025: Amrita Hospital, Faridabad, has achieved a major milestone by completing more than 100 robotic joint replacement surgeries within a year of introducing the world-renowned Mako robotic system. With this, the hospital has emerged as the first in Faridabad to offer robotic-assisted total knee, partial knee, and total hip replacements—raising the bar in precision orthopedic care.

Joint replacement surgery has come a long way over the last six decades—evolving from basic implant designs to computer-assisted systems in the 1990s, and now to robotics, which is rapidly becoming the global gold standard. Amrita Hospital brought the Mako system to Faridabad in September 2024, and in less than 12 months, it has already transformed the city’s orthopedic landscape.

What sets the programme apart is the leadership of Dr. Sahil Gaba, Head of Arthroplasty and Robotic Surgery at Amrita, who is the first orthopedic surgeon in India to complete a UK fellowship in robotic hip and knee surgery. Under his guidance, the hospital has not only introduced cutting-edge technology but also performed the first Mako robotic-assisted total knee, partial knee, and hip replacements in Faridabad.

“Robotics represents a paradigm shift in joint replacement. With the Mako system, each procedure is tailored to the patient’s unique anatomy. We can fine-tune ligament balance and achieve unmatched accuracy in alignment, resulting in a joint that feels more natural—with less pain, quicker mobility, and faster return to daily life,” said Dr. Gaba. “At Amrita, our focus is on combining global technology with ethical practice and affordability.”

Benefits backed by international studies
• Greater surgical precision and bone-cut accuracy
• Minimal tissue damage and better deformity correction
• Less post-operative pain and swelling
• Quicker mobility, often walking within days without support
• More natural joint function through precise ligament balancing

For patients, the difference has been life-changing. Surender Pal Lamba, 74, a Faridabad resident, recalled: “Before surgery, even short walks were agonizing. Just days after my procedure, I was walking without support. I feel like I’ve regained not just my mobility but my independence.”

With this milestone, Amrita Hospital has reinforced its position as a frontrunner in advanced healthcare—bringing global standards of surgical precision while keeping treatment within reach for Indian patients.
