Robotic Assisted Total Knee Replacement

Robotic Assisted Total Knee Replacement is a new advancement technique that has been introduced in the field of orthopedic surgery. In robotic-assisted total knee replacement, the experience and support of robotic technology with guidance & help improve the accuracy and outcomes of the surgery.

During the surgery, the surgeon uses robotic systems and navigations to assist with various aspects of surgery, which also includes preoperative planning., appropriate guidance, and implant placement. The robotic system consists of robotic arms that surgeons, with specialized software and workspaces, control.

In the process of robotic-assisted total replacement surgery, its initial stage begins with taking the CT Scan of the patient affected knee which helps robotic systems to make a 3d model of the joints on the screen.  This 3d model design helps in getting the optimal size of the placements for the implantation. The implantation also depends on the situation and severity of the patient's knee disorder and their anatomy. When surgeons are performing the surgery robotic system helps them by providing real time information and feedback about implantation and alignment. The robotic arms provide the proper adjustments plan and procedures for making the implantation perfect. Robotic Assisted Total Knee Replacement comes with the best techniques, which are very helpful over traditional knee replacement techniques. 

Improved Accuracy -  The robotic system provides factual time information and guidance to the surgeon in ensuring bone cuts, alignment, implantation, and positioning functioning.

Customization – The preparative planning and robotic guidance allow a personal approach to the surgery, considering the most distinctive anatomy and alignment of the patient. The implantation of the knee can be according to the patient’s needs, keeping their health and condition in mind.

Fast Recovery – By enhancing the precision of the surgery, this advanced robotic knee replacement surgery results in improving the stability of the knee joints by reducing excessive pain and supporting quick rehabilitation. These all can lead to the fastest recovery and getting back to typical day-to-day activities.

Reduced Complications –  The precise alignment and positioning of implants made by the surgeons help in reducing the chance of complications such as loosening of joints, instability, and premature wear. The fewer complications, the more longevity of the joints is done artificially by surgeons with the help of robotic technologies.

However, it is essential to note that instructions and guidance made by robotic-assisted total knee replacement are not proper and suitable for every patient suffering from knee and joint failure. The conclusion should be made after proper discussion with the orthopedic surgeon who has appropriately evaluated the individual joints' condition and what treatment procedure is most suitable for them.
