Dr. Sanket Tanpure is an experienced orthopedic surgeon specializing in advanced joint replacement and sports injury surgeries. His expertise includes knee, hip, shoulder, and elbow replacements, as well as ACL/PCL reconstruction and robotic-assisted joint surgeries for improved precision and faster recovery.
The ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) and PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament) are key ligaments that stabilize the knee. Injuries to these ligaments are common in sports or accidents. Reconstruction surgery restores knee stability using grafts or minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques, allowing patients to return to active life and sports safely.
Elbow replacement surgery involves replacing damaged elbow joint surfaces with artificial components to relieve pain and restore movement. It’s usually recommended for patients with severe arthritis, fractures, or joint degeneration. Dr. Tanpure ensures precise surgical planning and post-surgery rehabilitation for best functional recovery.
Hip replacement surgery replaces a damaged or worn-out hip joint with an artificial implant to reduce pain and improve mobility. It’s one of the most successful orthopedic procedures, helping patients regain independence and return to normal activities within weeks.
Robotic Joint Replacement uses advanced robotic-assisted technology for enhanced precision in implant placement and alignment. This leads to improved joint function, less pain, minimal tissue damage, and quicker rehabilitation compared to conventional methods.
In Robotic Knee Replacement, a robotic system assists the surgeon in planning and executing the procedure with extreme accuracy. Benefits include smaller incisions, faster recovery, reduced postoperative pain, and a more natural knee movement after surgery.
Shoulder replacement is recommended for patients with severe shoulder arthritis, fractures, or rotator cuff injuries causing chronic pain and stiffness. The damaged joint surfaces are replaced with artificial components to restore shoulder strength and motion.
Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery and patient health. Generally, most patients start walking within a day or two after knee or hip replacement. Full recovery and return to daily activities typically take 4–6 weeks with proper physiotherapy.
Yes. Robotic-assisted surgeries are safe and highly precise. The robotic system doesn’t operate on its own; it assists the surgeon with detailed mapping and positioning, ensuring the best possible surgical outcomes with fewer complications.
Modern joint implants are designed to last 15–20 years or longer, depending on factors like activity level, weight, and lifestyle. Regular follow-ups and proper care help extend the life of the implant.
