Robotic knee replacement surgery represents a cutting-edge advancement in orthopedic technology, offering a higher level of precision and customization compared to traditional methods. This innovative procedure utilizes state-of-the-art robotic systems to enhance surgical accuracy, resulting in improved outcomes and faster recovery times for patients.

What is Robotic Total Knee Replacement?

Robotic Total Knee Replacement is a sophisticated surgical technique that combines computer-assisted technology with the expertise of skilled orthopedic surgeons. It involves the use of a robotic system, such as the Mako robotics system, to assist surgeons in performing precise and personalized knee replacement procedures.

How do Robotic Total Knee Replacements Work?

During Robotic Total Knee Replacement Surgery, a preoperative CT scan is utilized to generate a 3D model of the patient's knee joint. This virtual map helps the surgeon plan the procedure with exceptional accuracy, identifying the exact areas for bone preparation and implant placement. The robotic system assists the surgeon in executing the pre-defined plan by providing real-time feedback, ensuring optimal alignment and positioning of the implants.

Who is a Candidate for Robotic Total Knee Replacement?

Candidates for Robotic Total Knee Replacement typically include individuals suffering from severe knee arthritis, joint damage, or other conditions that cause debilitating knee pain and limit mobility. Those who have not experienced relief from conservative treatments like medication or physical therapy might benefit from this advanced surgical option.

Robotic Assisted Total Knee Surgery Procedure

During the procedure, the surgeon guides the robotic arm to precisely remove damaged bone and cartilage, preparing the knee for the implant. The robotic system continuously provides data and assists the surgeon in executing the surgical plan with accuracy and precision. Customized implants are then carefully positioned to restore proper joint function.

What are the Advantages of Robotic Total Knee Replacement Surgery?

• Precision: Robotic assistance ensures precise implant placement and alignment, potentially leading to improved longevity and function of the implant.
• Customization: The procedure is tailored to the patient's unique anatomy, enhancing the fit and performance of the implants.
• Faster Recovery: Patients may experience reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker rehabilitation compared to traditional knee replacement methods.
• Reduced Risk: Enhanced accuracy lowers the risk of complications and may lead to better long-term outcomes.

Robotic Total Knee Replacement Recovery Process

Following Robotic Total Knee Replacement Surgery, a structured rehabilitation program is essential. Patients are encouraged to engage in physical therapy to regain strength, flexibility, and mobility in the treated knee. Most individuals experience significant improvement in their ability to perform daily activities within weeks after surgery.
