Last week, VPS Lakeshore hosted FORTE 2026 – Forum for Orthopaedic Research, Technology and Education, our first conference on robotic arthroplasty.
The first meeting of its kind brought together leading orthopaedic faculty from Australia and India, with more than 140 orthopaedic surgeons attending in Kochi, Kerala.
The programme included clinical teaching and evidence, along with live demonstrations of four robotic surgical systems, giving surgeons an opportunity to see the technology in action and discuss its role in modern orthopaedic surgery, robotic knee replacement and joint replacement.
We at VPS Lakeshore believe technology should make a real difference in patient care — helping surgeons achieve greater precision and consistency, with better outcomes for patients.
Our investment in robotic orthopaedic surgery in Kochi is an investment in better patient care.
FORTE 2026 was an important opportunity for surgeons to learn, exchange ideas and explore how robotics is shaping the future of orthopaedic care in Kerala.
