SRV Hospitals Chembur Launches Advanced Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement Centre

In August 2026, SRV Hospitals, Chembur, launched its Advanced Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement Centre of Excellence with the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution, strengthening its joint replacement program with advanced technology, a team of doctors, and structured rehabilitation under the broader SRV Mobility Restoration Program.

The center was inaugurated in the presence of Mangesh Kudalkar, Member of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, as Guest of Honor, along with medical professionals, civic representatives, community leaders and members of the SRV Hospitals leadership team.

SRV Hospitals has placed robotic-assisted joint replacement within its broader Mobility Restoration Program, which includes preventive and conservative approaches, specialist orthopedic evaluation, surgery where clinically indicated, structured rehabilitation and follow-up care. Patients undergoing treatment are supported by a multidisciplinary team including orthopedic surgeons, anesthetists, nurses, physiotherapists and rehabilitation professionals, with care extending from evaluation and treatment planning through recovery and post-discharge follow-up. The technology is designed to support the surgeon’s decision-making during the procedure, while clinical judgement remains central to patient selection, treatment planning and the decision on whether robotic-assisted surgery is appropriate.

The hospital’s orthopedic team includes experienced specialists with expertise across joint replacement, arthroscopy, sports medicine, shoulder care, foot and ankle, spine and rehabilitation. The SRV Mobility Restoration Program is further designed to ensure that patients receive the right intervention at the right stage, with robotic-assisted joint replacement available wherever it is deemed clinically appropriate.

Impact on the Healthcare Market

Arthritis, age-related degeneration, past injuries, or various medical issues can lead to joint pain that gradually impacts daily tasks like walking, ascending stairs, standing up from a chair, and maintaining independent mobility. While some individuals may find that medications, physical therapy, and other non-invasive treatments remain effective, others might explore joint replacement options if these methods no longer alleviate their discomfort, following a thorough clinical assessment.

For patients who are living with severe knee pain, the real concern is rarely the joint alone. It is the loss of movement that follows difficulty climbing stairs, reduced walking distance, dependence on others, and the gradual withdrawal from everyday activities. Robotic-assisted joint replacement represents an important advancement in addressing this problem as the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution provides surgeons with real-time information during knee replacement as well as supports personalized surgical planning based on each patient’s anatomy. The system is also CT-free, meaning an additional pre-operative CT scan is not required for surgical planning.

Impact on the Joint Replacement Market

The global joint replacement market size was calculated at USD 23.56 billion in 2025 and is predicted to increase from USD 24.51 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 35.01 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 4.04% from 2026 to 2035.

According to Precedence Research, the market is driven by growing cases of osteoarthritis, coupled with the surge in the number of ambulatory surgical centers worldwide. Numerous healthcare institutions are partnering with hospital chains to accelerate the treatment of arthritis. Various orthopedic hospitals are deploying robotic systems to improve the capabilities of joint replacement surgery.

Artificial Intelligence is also playing a prominent role in reshaping the development of the joint replacement industry. In the joint replacement sector, AI improves surgical precision, enhances implant longevity, and delivers personalized care through predictive analytics and robotic assistance. AI helps in analyzing CT scans and MRI data to create 3D models, enabling surgeons to choose the ideal implant size and position before surgeries. Moreover, AI-powered robotic systems assist surgeons in designing precise bone cuts by ensuring optimal alignment of the knee or hip joint.

Impact on the Orthopedic Software Market

The global orthopedic software market size is calculated at USD 458.52 billion in 2025 and is predicted to increase from USD 485.30 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 804.83 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 5.79% from 2026 to 2035.

According to Precedence Research, the rising prevalence of orthopedic conditions or bone-related issues in older, aged people and the increasing number of road accidents that lead to severe injuries in bones drive the demand for orthopedic surgery, and the increasing demand for data management tools for healthcare workers drives the growth of the market. The increasing demand for robust healthcare infrastructure worldwide and the digitization across the healthcare infrastructure are further contributing to the technological expansion in software development, accelerating the growth of the orthopedic software market.

Major companies are moving into new and emerging regions to take advantage of the increasing volume of orthopedic cases and benefit from progressive digital health regulations. Companies are solidifying their positions by partnering with hospitals and launching localized surgical planning and EMR-interoperable solutions. The orthopedic software startup ecosystem is generating momentum, with new companies targeting 3D surgical planning, AR/VR training modules, and automated imaging interpretation.

Expert Opinion

Mangesh Kudalkar, Member of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, as Guest of Honour, said, “Mumbai’s fast lifestyle, aging population, and rising arthritis cases have made joint pain and limited movement major health issues. The new robotic-assisted joint replacement facility is a big step toward offering accurate, personalized orthopedic care to the community. I believe that recovery doesn’t just stop at surgery; proper physiotherapy and rehab are crucial for helping patients move, feel confident, and regain independence. I congratulate SRV Hospitals for creating a complete program that combines medical care, robotic technology, and rehab to assist patients through their recovery.”
