Robotic Total Knee Replacement
Why Knee Replacement?
Total Knee Replacement surgery becomes essential in advanced stages of knee osteoarthritis. This condition occurs when the cartilage in the knee joint wears away, causing bones to rub against each other. The result is pain, swelling, stiffness, crepitus (grating sounds), and significant loss of function affecting daily activities.
Early-stage knee osteoarthritis can often be managed with exercise, weight management, medications, and injections. However, when pain worsens and daily function declines, surgery is the most effective solution. Depending on the severity, either Partial or Total Knee Replacement may be recommended. Partial Knee Replacement is ideal when the arthritis is limited to one compartment of the knee, usually the inner half. If osteoarthritis affects multiple compartments, Robotic Total Knee Replacement is the best and most reliable treatment option.
Why Choose Robotic Total Knee Replacement?
Robotic Total Knee Replacement represents a significant advancement in knee surgery. It offers a personalized surgical plan tailored to the unique anatomy of each patient. Using robotic assistance, surgeons can achieve unparalleled precision in positioning implants, which improves joint function, enhances the natural feel of the knee, and increases implant longevity.
How Does the Robotic System Work?
The robotic system integrates an advanced computer program that scans and analyzes the patients knee joint during surgery. This data guides a robotics-assisted arm, which assists the surgeon in precisely balancing the knee and positioning the prosthetic components. This technology ensures that the implant placement is highly accurate and customized for optimal joint alignment.
Advantages of Robotic-Assisted Knee Surgery
Robotic-assisted surgery offers several advantages over traditional manual knee replacement techniques. By combining the surgeon's expertise with robotic precision, the risk of human error is greatly minimized, resulting in superior surgical outcomes. Key benefits include:
- Greater accuracy and enhanced safety
- Reduced postoperative pain
- Improved overall surgical outcomes
