In a groundbreaking advancement in orthopedic care, Dr. Soumya Chakraborty, Senior Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Fortis Hospital Anandapur, has successfully integrated both robotic-assisted and conventional knee replacement techniques to meet the diverse needs of patients.
Patient Profiles and Surgical Approaches
Two recent cases highlight Dr. Chakraborty’s dual expertise:
Robotic-Assisted Surgery
A 65-year-old patient with complex knee anatomy underwent a robotic-assisted knee replacement using the VELYS Robotic System. The technology enabled personalized planning and precise implant placement, minimizing tissue damage and ensuring faster recovery.
