CME Programme on Robotic Total Knee Replacement & Stroke Management | Atlas Hospitals
Medical technology continues to transform the way complex conditions are evaluated and treated. To encourage professional learning and knowledge sharing, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) Kallakurichi Branch, in association with Atlas Hospitals, Trichy – Robotic Joint Replacement Center, organised a CME Programme at Kallakurichi.
The programme featured expert sessions on two important areas of modern healthcare: Robotic Total Knee Replacement – Innovation, Technology & Precision and modern management of acute ischemic stroke.
CME Programme at IMA Hall, Kallakurichi
The CME programme was scheduled for Sunday, 27 September 2026, at 7:30 PM at IMA Hall, Kallakurichi.
The programme brought together medical professionals for knowledge sharing and discussion on advancements in orthopaedic and neurological care.
Topic 1: Robotic Total Knee Replacement – Innovation, Technology & Precision
The first session focused on Robotic Total Knee Replacement, highlighting the role of innovation, technology and precision in modern knee replacement surgery.
The session was presented by Dr. S. Jaikish, M.S. Orth., D.Orth., Consultant Orthopaedic, Spine & Robotic Arthroplasty Surgeon.
Robotic-assisted technology can support surgeons with detailed surgical planning and precision during knee replacement procedures. It is particularly relevant in the management of selected patients with advanced knee problems where joint replacement may be considered.
Understanding Robotic Knee Replacement
Knee arthritis and other degenerative joint conditions can cause:
- Persistent knee pain
- Stiffness
- Difficulty walking
- Difficulty climbing stairs
- Reduced knee movement
- Difficulty performing daily activities
Depending on the patient’s condition, an orthopaedic specialist may recommend conservative treatment, physiotherapy or surgical intervention.
Robotic-assisted knee replacement is one of the technological developments being used in modern joint replacement care.
Topic 2: Modern Management of Acute Ischemic Stroke
The second session focused on “Time Lost is Brain Lost: Modern Management of Acute Ischemic Stroke from Door to Reperfusion.”
The session was presented by Dr. A. Veni, M.D., DM (Neuro), Consultant Neuro Physician.
The topic highlighted the importance of timely management in acute ischemic stroke. Stroke is a medical emergency, and recognising symptoms quickly and reaching appropriate medical care without delay can be important.
The session provided an opportunity for medical professionals to discuss modern approaches to stroke management and the importance of timely intervention.
Importance of CME Programmes for Healthcare Professionals
Continuing Medical Education programmes provide healthcare professionals with opportunities to learn about new developments, treatment approaches and technologies.
Such professional programmes can support:
- Knowledge sharing
- Continuing medical education
- Discussion of new medical technologies
- Professional collaboration
- Better understanding of modern treatment approaches
The CME programme in Kallakurichi brought orthopaedic and neurological topics together, creating an opportunity for medical professionals to engage with developments in two important areas of healthcare.
