What is robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery?
Robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery is a novel technique that improves operation accuracy. With this advanced method, a robotic device helps the surgeon perform the procedure with extreme precision. A 3D model of the patient’s knee is created by the surgeon using a sophisticated computer system during robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery. With its comprehensive information on the anatomy, alignment, and particular areas that need to be treated of the knee, this model assists the surgeon in planning the surgery. Subsequently, the robotic system provides highly accurate guidance to the physician as they carry out the surgical procedures.
Advantages
A robotic system provides highly accurate guidance to the physician.
Better alignment and stability of the artificial joint is one of the main advantages of robotically assisted knee replacement surgery.
Better long-term results, a lower chance of problems, and possibly a quicker patient recovery are all possible benefits of this.
Furthermore, the technology permits in-the-moment modifications during the procedure, guaranteeing ideal implant placement depending on the patient's anatomy.
Who needs knee replacement surgery?
When previous treatments have failed to relieve significant knee injury or discomfort, knee replacement surgery is usually advised. The following are typical causes of knee replacement:
The most frequent cause is osteoarthritis, a condition in which the knee joint's cartilage deteriorates over time and results in pain, stiffness, and restricted movement.
Severe Deformities: Anomalies such as knock knees or bent legs that seriously limit function or cause excruciating pain.
Rheumatoid arthritis: an autoimmune disease that damages and irritates joints, causing pain.
Post-Traumatic Arthritis: A cartilage-damaging condition that follows a fracture or other trauma to the knee.
A thorough evaluation by our orthopedic surgeon, including a review of your medical history, physical examination, and imaging studies, helps determine if knee replacement surgery is appropriate for your situation.
