Severe joint pain and stiffness limiting daily activities
Deformity due to arthritis
Post-traumatic arthritis
Failed previous implants or surgeries (revision surgeries)
Hip fractures in elderly not suitable for fixation
Non- fixable shoulder fractures or non-repairable massive cuff tears in the elderly
Total knee replacement (single & bilateral)
Robotic joint replacement
Partial knee replacement (unicondylar)
Total hip replacement (cemented / uncemented), hemireplacement arthroplasty
Revision knee and hip replacement
Shoulder replacement, reverse shoulder replacement arthroplasty
