Dr H P Bhalodia, organising chairman of Indian Arthroplasty Association Conference (IAACON) 2026, said that several setups in the city are now using AI-aided cameras, which is a different technique compared to robotics, for better precision. “While human skills can achieve 80%-85% or more precision, it can be upward of 90% when assisted with tech. It is used primarily for better alignment so that the wear and tear with use could be reduced,” he said.
The organisers said that as part of the conference, they will also organise IAA’s first large-scale workshop on cadaver to perform surgeries by the budding surgeons. “Robotics is also increasingly being used for joint replacement surgeries.
