Robotic knee replacement surgery is an advanced technique that combines the precision of robotics with orthopedic surgery to improve outcomes for patients. Here’s what you need to know:

Procedure Overview

• A robotic knee replacement is similar to a traditional knee replacement.
• During the procedure, your surgeon removes damaged tissue in your knee and replaces it with an artificial joint.
• The key difference is that robotic knee replacement surgery is done with assistance from a robotic arm, which allows for greater precision.

How It Works:

• During the surgery, the robotic arm ensures that the surgical plan is followed precisely, removing just enough bone without overdoing it.
• One of the challenging aspects of joint replacement surgery is aligning the individual components of the artificial joint correctly. The robotic arm provides tactile, visual, and auditory feedback to assist the surgeon in achieving the desired orientation, enhancing stability and mobility.

Types of Knee Replacement:

• Total Knee Replacement: Involves replacing the entire knee joint.
• Partial Knee Replacement: If only one section of the knee has been damaged, surgeons can replace just the damaged portion of the knee joint.
• The robotic arm ensures precise bone removal and accurate implant placement, improving overall outcomes for patients.
