Dr. Praharsha Mulpur is one of the youngest knee replacement surgeons to be certified in robotic total and partial knee joint replacement surgery by Stryker-Mako. In addition, he has experience in total and partial knee replacement surgery, robotic joint replacement surgery, arthroscopy, sports medicine, and trauma care.

Areas of Orthopaedic Expertise

His clinical experience covers a wide range of orthopaedic conditions and procedures. In particular, Dr. Mulpur focuses on knee and joint replacement procedures, including robotic-assisted surgery. Furthermore, his experience in arthroscopy and sports medicine allows him to evaluate and manage a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.

Professional Experience

At KIMS, Dr. Praharsha Mulpur works as an Orthopaedic Specialist. In addition, he provides clinical consultation services through Ortho Pro Clinic. Through these clinical roles, he works with patients seeking guidance for a range of orthopaedic conditions.

Furthermore, Dr. Mulpur takes a patient-friendly approach to consultations. He explains the diagnosis and available treatment options in clear and simple terms. As a result, patients can better understand their condition and participate in decisions about their treatment.

Moreover, his experience includes knee replacement surgery, robotic joint rplacement, arthroscopy, sports medicine, and trauma care. Ultimately, his approach is focused on providing treatment based on each patient’s condition, individual needs, and recovery goals.

Patient-Centred Approach

Above all, Dr. Mulpur follows a patient-friendly approach to orthopaedic care. He takes the time to understand each patient’s concerns and explains the diagnosis in clear and simple terms. Moreover, he discusses appropriate treatment options based on the patient’s condition, lifestyle, and individual needs.

Therefore, patients receive guidance that helps them make informed decisions about their treatment. Whether conservative treatment, rehabilitation, arthroscopy, or joint replacement is being considered, the focus remains on selecting an appropriate treatment approach for each patient.

How Robotics Can Help in Joint Replacement

Robotic assistance is used in several types of orthopaedic joint replacement surgery. At Sunshine Hospitals’ Department of Robotic Surgery and Joint Replacement, experienced orthopaedic surgeons use robotic-assisted technology to support joint replacement procedures.

Surgeon Profile

Dr. Praharsha Mulpur — Experienced Mako Certified Joint Replacement Surgeon

Before surgery, Dr. Praharsha Mulpur uses a CT scan to create a three-dimensional model of the patient’s joint. This helps the surgeon plan the procedure based on the patient’s individual anatomy. The plan helps determine the bone preparation and implant positioning required during surgery.

During robotic-assisted surgery, the surgeon follows the pre-operative plan and remains in control of the procedure. The robotic system provides guidance during specific steps of the operation. It can help the surgeon perform controlled bone preparation and achieve the planned implant positioning.

Robotic Assistance Helps With Implant Positioning

Robotic-assisted technology provides the surgeon with real-time information and guidance during the procedure. This can help with implant positioning, alignment, and soft-tissue balancing.

One of the important goals of knee and hip replacement surgery is to position the implant components correctly. Proper positioning can help the artificial joint function effectively and may contribute to stability and long-term outcomes.

At Sunshine Hospitals’ Department of Advanced Orthopaedic Joint Replacement and Robotic Surgery, experienced surgeons use Mako robotic-arm assisted technology for total hip, partial knee, and total knee replacement procedures.

During Mako robotic-arm assisted joint replacement, the orthopaedic surgeon removes damaged bone and cartilage. The surgeon then replaces the damaged joint surfaces with appropriate implant components.

Advantages of Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery

Controlled Bone Preparation

Mako technology helps the surgeon work within the planned boundaries during specific steps of the procedure. This can support controlled and precise bone preparation.

The system also provides real-time guidance during surgery. However, the surgeon remains in control and makes all clinical decisions throughout the procedure.

Potential for Accurate Implant Positioning

Accurate implant positioning is an important part of successful joint replacement surgery. Mako technology uses the patient’s three-dimensional anatomy and surgical plan to assist the surgeon during the procedure.

Robotic assistance may help the surgeon achieve the planned implant position and alignment. Individual results can vary depending on the patient’s anatomy, condition, and other factors.

Personalised Surgical Planning Based on Your Anatomy

Before surgery, your Mako-trained orthopaedic surgeon may recommend a CT scan of the affected joint. The scan can be used to create a three-dimensional model of your anatomy.

The surgeon uses this model to develop a personalised surgical plan. During the procedure, the surgeon uses the robotic system to assist with the planned bone preparation and implant positioning.

Robotic assistance does not replace the surgeon. Instead, it provides additional planning and guidance to help the surgeon perform the procedure according to the patient’s individual anatomy.
