Department of Robotic Joint Replacement
A knee that gives way on the stairs is a different problem than a hip that won’t let you sit cross-legged, and both are different again from a fracture after a fall last night. The Orthopaedics department at Shri Balaji Aarogyam Hospital sees all three, along with sports injuries, arthritis, and complex trauma cases. It’s also the first hospital in Haryana to use the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution for knee replacement, a Johnson & Johnson system, so patients from Kurukshetra, Pehowa, Thanesar, and nearby towns don’t need to travel to Delhi or Chandigarh for it.

Scope of Services
Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Replacement
Performed using the VELYS system, with the surgical plan built around your own knee anatomy.
Robotic-Assisted Partial Knee Replacement
For patients where the damage is limited to one compartment of the knee and the rest of the joint is healthy.
Total Hip Replacement
For advanced arthritis, hip fractures, or joint degeneration that no longer responds to medication or physiotherapy.
24x7 Trauma & Fracture Care
Fractures and accident injuries don't wait for OPD hours, so this doesn't either.
Arthroscopy
A small camera inserted through a tiny cut lets Dr. Goel look inside and treat knee or shoulder joint problems without opening up the joint fully.
Complex Fracture Fixation
Fractures that need plates, rods, or screws to heal correctly, usually from accidents or falls with more than one break.
Sports Injury & Ligament Treatment
Torn ligaments, sprains, and joint injuries that come from sport or sudden twisting movements.
Joint Pain & Arthritis Management
Not every case needs surgery right away. Many patients are managed for years with medication, injections, and physiotherapy before that conversation even comes up.
First in Haryana: The VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution
The Orthopaedics department uses the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution, an FDA-approved robotic system from Johnson & Johnson, for knee replacement surgery. Shri Balaji Aarogyam Hospital is the first hospital in Haryana to have it. The department has completed over 200 robotic joint replacements so far.
Personalised Surgical Planning
The system maps your knee's own anatomy before surgery instead of working from a standard-size template.
No CT Scan Required
VELYS is imageless. Unlike some robotic systems on the market, it doesn't need a pre-operative CT scan, which means no extra cost and no added radiation exposure before surgery.
Real-Time Precision During Surgery
The robot tracks the exact position of your knee throughout the procedure and guides Dr. Goel's cuts as he operates.
Soft Tissue Balancing
Before any bone is cut, the system checks how the ligaments around your knee balance through a full range of motion.
Compact, Table-Mounted Design
The system attaches directly to the operating table instead of needing a separate unit of its own, so it takes up less space and less setup time in the operating room.
Built for a Smoother Recovery
More accurate bone cuts and correct implant positioning are associated with less tissue disturbance during surgery, which can make the walking-again phase easier.
OVERVIEW
Bone and Joint Care for,Every Kind of Case That Walks In
Dr. Rajul Goel sees everything from osteoarthritis and sports injuries to hip fractures and complex road accident trauma. Not every patient needs surgery-many arthritis cases are managed with medication and physiotherapy for years. Where surgery is needed, the department has handled 10,000+ trauma and fracture surgeries and 200+ robotic joint replacements, from worn-out knees and hips to complex trauma. With the VELYS system, patients in Kurukshetra can access advanced knee replacement technology without travelling to Delhi or Chandigarh.
First in Haryana
The only hospital in the state using the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution for knee replacement.
10,000+ Trauma Surgeries
Handled fracture cases ranging from a single clean break to complex, multi-fracture trauma.
Painless Robotic Knee Replacement
The robotic technique reduces tissue disturbance during surgery, which is associated with less pain and a smoother recovery than manual surgery, though every patient's experience differs.
Bone and Joint Care Under One Roof
Arthroscopy, hip replacement, fracture care, and post-surgery physiotherapy are all handled by the same department.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is VELYS robotic knee replacement and how is it different from traditional surgery?
VELYS builds a surgical plan around your knee’s own shape before the operation and guides Dr. Goel’s cuts in real time during surgery. It doesn’t need a pre-operative CT scan, unlike some other robotic systems. Traditional surgery relies on manual instruments and standard implant sizes, so the robotic approach can get closer to your actual anatomy.
Is robotic knee replacement painful, and how long is the recovery?
There’s still some discomfort after any joint replacement. The precision of the robotic technique tends to mean less tissue disturbance than manual surgery. Most patients start walking with support within a few days, and see real improvement over 4 to 6 weeks, with physiotherapy through that stretch.
Do you treat emergency trauma and fracture cases?
Yes. The department runs 24×7 trauma and fracture care, including fixation for complex fractures from accidents or falls. No appointment needed for an emergency; walk in or call the emergency line directly.
Is robotic surgery safe, and who actually performs it?
Dr. Rajul Goel performs every robotic procedure himself. VELYS is an FDA-approved system, but it assists his precision during surgery, it doesn’t operate independently or replace his judgment.
What happens after knee or hip replacement surgery?
You’ll go through in-house physiotherapy as part of recovery, with follow-up visits to track how the joint is healing and moving. Recovery speed varies from person to person depending on age, fitness, and how the surgery went.
