Orthopaedic services at Care Hospitals, Visakhapatnam
Knee and joint care is planned around each patient’s diagnosis, goals and safe recovery pathway.
Dr Ravi Chandra Vattipalli has been practising orthopaedic surgery since November 2011 and combines careful clinical assessment with Velys robotic planning when it is appropriate, alongside non-surgical treatment, rehabilitation and shared decision-making.
Why consider robotic knee replacement with Velys planning?
- May support a smoother recovery for selected patients.
- May help with post-operative comfort when clinically appropriate.
- May support mobility and range of motion; results vary.
Robotic assistance can help the surgeon follow a pre-operative plan. Recovery, comfort and mobility vary by patient, and the team discusses realistic expectations after examination. Individual results vary. Robotic assistance is not suitable for every patient.
Risks: Knee replacement, with or without robotic assistance, carries risks including infection, blood clots, stiffness, implant wear or loosening over time and anaesthesia risks. These are discussed at consultation.
