Dr. Ashish Singhal reveals his secret "hook step" in robotic knee surgery. Spoiler: it's not Shah Rukh, Hrithik, Rohit, or Dhoni — it's something far more powerful.
What Is My Hook Step in Knee Surgery? | Dr. Ashish Singhal
We all know Shah Rukh Khan's iconic arms-wide pose. We've tried to copy Hrithik Roshan's unforgettable hook step. We've cheered Rohit Sharma's elegant pull shot. And who can forget MS Dhoni's legendary helicopter shot?
Every superstar has a signature move. A hook step. That one thing that makes them unmistakably them.
So recently, someone asked me — Dr. Ashish Singhal, Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon at Paras Hospital and MAHE Clinic, Udaipur — "Doctor, what is your hook step in knee surgery?"
I had to think about it. And then I smiled.
The Honest Answer
Unlike Shah Rukh, Hrithik, Rohit, or Dhoni — I don't have a hook step.
And that's not modesty. That's the truth about surgery.
A successful robotic knee replacement surgery is never the performance of one person. There is no solo. There is no single signature move that wins the match or gets the standing ovation.
What there is — is a team.
The Real "Hook Step": Teamwork
When a patient walks into the operation theatre, what they don't see is the preparation that surrounds them:
The anaesthesiologist who ensures the patient is safe and comfortable from the first moment to the last.
The scrub nurse who anticipates every instrument before it is asked for.
The OT technician who keeps the robotic system calibrated and ready.
The physiotherapist who starts the patient's recovery journey within hours of the surgery.
The nursing staff who monitor, care, and support through the night.
The administrative team that coordinates everything so the patient never feels lost.
And yes — the surgeon. Who uses the robotic technology not as a replacement for skill, but as a precision tool to serve the patient better.
Together, this team is the hook step. And it works every single time.
Why Robotic Knee Surgery Is Different
At Paras Hospital and MAHE Clinic, Udaipur, I perform robotic-assisted total knee replacement — a technique that offers:
Personalised precision using 3D imaging and planning before surgery even begins
Accurate implant positioning, reducing the risk of long-term complications
Faster recovery so patients are walking sooner than they expect
Reduced post-operative pain compared to conventional surgery
Better long-term outcomes and implant longevity
But the robot does not operate. The team does. The robot simply helps us be more precise for you.
A Message to My Patients
If you are considering knee replacement surgery and wondering whether you'll ever walk pain-free again — I want you to know something.
You will not just be in the hands of a surgeon. You will be held by an entire team whose only goal is to give you your life back.
No hook step needed. Just people who care, working together.
If you're experiencing knee pain, stiffness, or difficulty walking, consult Dr. Ashish Singhal at Paras Hospital or MAHE Clinic, Udaipur. Early consultation can prevent the need for surgery altogether — and if surgery is needed, you'll know you're in safe, experienced hands.
