Not every knee needs the robot, and not every knee is suited to it. Get a straight, personalised read on your knee and your reports from a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon, before you decide anything.
The robot does not perform your surgery. It gives the surgeon a precise plan and holds the cut to it. Here is what that means in practice, without the marketing.
Your knee is mapped before surgery, so implant size and alignment are planned to your anatomy rather than judged in the moment.
The robotic arm keeps the cut within the planned boundary, which reduces the small variations that can affect how the knee feels and lasts.
Ligament balance is checked through range of movement during surgery, which matters for stability and comfort afterwards.
Robotic assistance helps in some knees more than others. An honest look at both sides is part of the assessment.
Floor sitting, squatting for the toilet, sitting cross-legged for prayer, getting on a two-wheeler. These are the movements that decide whether a knee feels usable in an Indian home, and they are planned for from the start, not left as an afterthought.

Not automatically. For some knees the precision matters a great deal; for others a well-done conventional replacement gives the same result. The assessment is about which is right for your knee, not selling the robot.
No. Plenty of people ask and are told surgery can wait, or is not needed yet. The point of the assessment is a clear answer, whatever it turns out to be.
