Indigenous Innovation in Orthopedic Robotics: Making Joint Replacement Affordable in India

Kunal Aneja, Ponnanna Karineravanda Machaiah, Ashok Shyam · 2026 · Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports

Summary. Robotic joint replacement surgery improves precision and recovery but remains inaccessible in India due to high costs and limited training. Indigenous robotic platforms engineered locally can reduce expenses while maintaining accuracy, aligning with India's self-reliance goals and adapting to local anatomical and economic conditions. Achieving equitable access requires collaboration between clinicians, industry, insurers, and policymakers to transform robotic surgery from a premium service into scalable standard care.
