We use the CORI Surgical System by Smith+Nephew — a global leader in surgical robotics — for total knee replacements at Aster MIMS Kannur. CORI creates a real-time 3D map of your knee during surgery, guiding implant positioning with sub-millimetre precision — tailored to your anatomy, not a generic template.
The result: better alignment, less pain, and an implant positioned exactly where it should be. Published studies show robotic-assisted TKR achieves more consistent outcomes and fewer outliers than conventional techniques.

What patients say
"I had both knees done at PGI under Dr. Vishnu. He explained the robotic technique so clearly that I went in completely calm. Within three weeks I was walking to the gurudwara. I tell every relative with knee pain to find him."
Gurpreet S.
Chandigarh · Knee Replacement"After a fracture at 68, I was worried I would never walk unaided again. Dr. Vishnu operated within 48 hours and had me standing the next morning. The follow-up care was thorough — I never felt abandoned post-discharge."
Seema R.
Mohali · Hip Replacement"I play state-level volleyball and tore my ACL in a tournament. Dr. Vishnu gave me a month-by-month recovery plan and cleared me for sport only after objective strength testing — not just time. I returned at 10 months, stronger than before."
Arjun T.
Patiala · ACL ReconstructionRepresentative of patient outcomes from Dr. Vishnu Baburaj's surgical practice. Individual results may vary.
"Surgery is the last resort, not the first option. We believe in exhausting all conservative management strategies before considering intervention. When surgery is necessary, we execute with absolute precision."
