Patna (Bihar) [India] May 10(ANI/BusinessWire India): Orthopaedics medical fraternity in Bihar will witness the latest and most advanced technology in joint replacement space, Stryker's Mako robotic-arm assisted surgery system, at RoboTech, being jointly organized by Anup Institute of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation and Vattikuti Technologies, the exclusive distributors for the Mako Surgical system in India.
The workshop will be held at Hotel Lemon Tree, Patna.
Stryker is a leading medical device company headquartered in the US and Vattikuti Technologies is Stryker's strategic partner for Mako in India.
Dr Ashish Singh, Consultant, Anup Institute of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation will facilitate the clinical discussions and demonstration on Mako robotic-arm assisted surgery system. RoboTech is expected to be attended by over 100 Orthopaedics experts from Bihar and Jharkhand.
"We are excited to have Mako at RoboTech. Mako System, the most advanced technology in joint replacement transforms the way knee and hip replacements are performed. We are looking forward to an exciting workshop with this revolutionary technology that will help bring improved predictability and accuracy", said Dr Singh.
"The incidence of arthritis is seeing an increase due to primary causes that include sedentary lifestyle, changing and deteriorating nutritional pattern and longer life span. In my experience, one in every four patients suffering from knee disorders needs a knee replacement surgery.
