A procedure using robotic technology to enhance precision during knee replacement surgery.
Robots assist, but don’t perform surgery on their own at this stage.
Robotic Surgery
Pre-Surgery: X-rays create a 3D model of the knee for precise planning.
During Surgery: The robot provides real-time data to guide the surgeon.
Post-Surgery: Recovery time may be shorter; pain and activity levels vary.
How it works:
Benefits:
Enhanced Accuracy: Precise bone cuts and implant placement.
Customised Fit: Better alignment with individual knee anatomy.
Potential for Quicker Recovery: Some patients return to activities sooner.
Who can benefit:
Patient who requires total knee replacement.
Patients with challenging knee conditions or previous surgeries.
Those seeking advanced surgical options.
Risks: Similar to the traditional surgery, this procedure may include possible infection and implant issues.
Availability: Not all health systems offer robotic-assisted options.
