A Landmark In Orthopedic Care: Dr. Hulse Performs 2000 Robotic Joint Replacements At Fortis BG Road, Bangalore

Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, has proudly crossed a major milestone—2000 robotic joint replacements—a testament to its commitment to innovation and excellence in orthopedic care. Under the expert leadership of Dr. Narayan Hulse, Principal Director of Orthopaedics & Senior Joint Replacement Surgeon, the hospital has become a pioneer in robotic-assisted surgeries in Karnataka.
This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering dedication of the surgical, nursing, physiotherapy, and technical teams, and the trust placed by thousands of patients over the years. Fortis Bannerghatta stands out as the only unit in the state equipped with three advanced robotic platforms, enabling unmatched precision, faster recovery times, and exceptional outcomes.
Among the most heartwarming milestones are the many patients who underwent bilateral total knee replacements and were able to walk the same evening—many even enjoying their favorite books with a smile. These moments are a reflection of how far technology and patient care have come together.
In addition to the 2000 joint replacements, Dr. Narayan Hulse has also achieved several state-firsts:
150+ Velys Robotic Joint Replacements (Johnson & Johnson)
100+ Mako Robotic Total Hip Replacements (Stryker)
75+ Mako Robotic Partial Knee Replacements
These landmark numbers underscore Dr. Hulse’s leadership in bringing cutting-edge technology to the forefront of orthopedic treatment in Karnataka.
Dr. Hulse expressed heartfelt appreciation for the hospital administration and the entire supporting staff whose behind-the-scenes efforts continue to drive these life-changing outcomes. With continued focus on precision, care, and patient-first values, Dr. Narayan Hulse remains at the forefront of robotic orthopedic surgery in India.
