Robotic-Assisted Knee Arthroplasty

What is Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery?

In modern days. The robotic-assisted surgery technology is worldwide brought to use. A robotic-assisted knee surgery assists orthopedists with greater precision and accuracy. In complex cases, a robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery offers a better balance in the soft tissues around your knee, and better aligns the joint.

It is a surgical technique aside from a conventional one. Orthopedists will discuss all knee replacement options available and most suited to you, including whether you are a good candidate for a robotic-assisted knee surgery.

BPK9 Orthopedics Center for Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery

This state-of-the-art medical technology has been used in the orthopedics center of the hospital for a while and it has arisen at its peak. The technology not only helps orthopedists design ideal surgical plans but also assures greater precision at each step of your treatment. Before an operation takes place, your knee will be CAT scanned and this helps in the creation of a 3-D image of your knee joint, bone, structure, surrounding tissues, and other important areas. This detailed image assists our orthopedists in planning out every step of the surgery with precision to millimeters, for a perfect artificial knee size, and even positioning. The tracking pins will be applied with the robot to confirm the accurate size and positioning information that are matching with the CAT scans. After that, the robotic arm positions itself as marked and the orthopedist uses the hand-held tool to perform on your knee surgery. This technology functions as a perfect guide for orthopedists throughout the procedure, enhancing their experience and skills.

Robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty is ideal for even the most complex knee joint issues like;

• Complex degeneration
• Hardware from previous surgeries
• Post-surgery femur deformities
• Complex and arduous knee joint disorders

Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery Advantages

• Enhance surgical plans: Specialized 3-D images are taken in preparation for and during surgery. These images help our orthopedists more accurately plan the optimal type and placement of your artificial joint to ensure the right size and perfect fit.
• Greater precision: Robotic technologies enhance our orthopedists’ expertise for more precise planning, tissue removal, and implant placement.
• Optimal joint alignment: With robotic technology, orthopedists are able to better align and position your knee implant. This helps ensure a more natural-feeling joint replacement and create less friction and wear on your new joint which helps result in more natural movement.

Robotic-Assisted vs. Traditional Knee Replacement Surgery

As its name suggests “Robotic-assisted” knee replacement surgery is not done by a robot alone. Instead, it assists and acts as a guide, helping orthopedists follow the plan laid out in advance. Like during traditional surgery, your orthopedists are in control, however, they use the robot as an additional surgical tool to enhance their skills during all stages of the surgery to deliver the best possible outcomes.
