Robotic Joint Replacement Advances Highlighted by Bone & Joint Specialist Dr. Atul Mishra in Haldwani,

Haldwani: Renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Atul Mishra, Senior Director of Orthopedics and Joint Replacement at Fortis Hospital, Noida, visited Haldwani today and addressed the print media on the latest treatments for joint health and robotic joint replacement surgery.

Dr. Mishra elaborated on the challenges faced by people living in hilly areas, where frequent climbing and uneven terrains put excessive strain on knees and hips, accelerating joint pain and osteoarthritis. He emphasized the importance of regular exercise, maintaining healthy body weight, avoiding heavy lifting, and undergoing timely medical check-ups to preserve joint health.

With over 40 million people in India suffering from osteoarthritis—a number that is continuously rising—Dr. Mishra highlighted a worrying trend where many patients avoid surgery due to fear and myths, leading to prolonged suffering.

“Joint replacement surgery should be seriously considered when pain persists, mobility becomes difficult, sleep is disturbed, and medicines or physiotherapy provide no relief,” Dr. Mishra advised.

He further explained how robotic technology has revolutionized joint replacement surgery, making it safer, more precise, and more effective. The advanced technique ensures accurate alignment, better implant fitting, faster recovery, and longer-lasting outcomes.

Dr. Mishra and his team also organized a free health camp at Gurudwara Guru Nanak Pura, Thandi Sadak, Nainital Road, Haldwani. Over 100 patients were examined, and services like random blood sugar, blood pressure, and bone mineral density tests were provided.

Concluding the event, Dr. Mishra urged people not to fear surgery but to take timely decisions, as proper treatment can significantly improve quality of life and provide relief from chronic joint pain.

This initiative underscores the promise of emerging technologies in improving orthopedic care for residents of mountainous regions, offering hope of a pain-free and active life through modern robotic-assisted surgeries.
