Knee pain can significantly impact your quality of life, limiting mobility and affecting daily activities. If conservative treatments like medication and physical therapy have failed to provide relief, robotic knee replacement may be an effective solution.
What is Robotic Knee Replacement?
Robotic knee replacement utilizes advanced technology to assist surgeons in performing knee replacement surgery with greater precision and accuracy. Unlike traditional methods, robotic-assisted surgery employs a robotic arm guided by the surgeon to precisely remove damaged bone and cartilage and implant the artificial joint.
Benefits of Robotic Knee Replacement:
- Increased Precision: The robotic arm allows for more precise bone cuts and implant placement, potentially leading to improved outcomes and a more natural-feeling knee.
- Enhanced Soft Tissue Preservation: Robotic assistance may minimize soft tissue damage, potentially resulting in less pain and faster recovery.
- Improved Alignment: The robotic system helps ensure optimal alignment of the new knee joint, which is crucial for long-term success.
- Customized Approach: Robotic technology allows for a more personalized surgical approach based on individual patient anatomy.
What to Expect as a Patient:
- Pre-operative Planning: Before surgery, you will undergo a thorough evaluation, including imaging tests and a detailed discussion with your surgeon.
- Surgical Procedure: Robotic knee replacement surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. The procedure involves removing the damaged portions of the knee and replacing them with artificial components.
- Post-operative Care: Following surgery, you will undergo rehabilitation to regain strength and range of motion. This may involve physical therapy and exercises.
- Recovery: Recovery time varies depending on individual factors. Most patients can return to walking within a few weeks and resume normal activities within a few months.
