Knee pain creeps into everything, from walking to the kitchen and climbing a flight of stairs to sitting cross-legged for a meal. If you have persistent knee pain that affects your daily activities, consulting a robotic knee replacement surgeon in Bandra West, Mumbai, may help you understand if knee replacement is suitable for your condition. Robotic knee replacement is an assisted technology that helps to plan, position and accurately perform knee replacement surgery. It uses precise surgical planning to aid in the accurate placement of the implant, preparation of the bone and alignment of the replacement to the unique anatomy of the knee.
Knee Replacement with Robotics
Robotic-assisted knee replacement combines the clinical skills of the surgeon and advanced imaging, surgical planning, and robotic technology. This allows the detailed study of the anatomy of the patient’s knee prior to surgery to establish a personalized surgical plan.
This lets the surgeon decide on the right size, position, and alignment of the implant for the patient’s particular knee anatomy.
The robotic system provides intraoperative guidance to prepare the bone as planned and assists the surgeon to follow the preoperative plan with a high degree of accuracy. The technique remains surgeon-directed, and clinical judgement is employed at each stage of the operation.
Knee Replacement Surgery: Robotic vs. Traditional
Standard knee replacement: The procedure relies heavily on mechanical instrumentation, surgical measurements and the surgeon’s ability to judge the alignment and placement of the implant.
Robotic-assisted knee replacement: This approach employs advanced imaging and computer planning to provide surgeons with a precise view of a patient’s knee anatomy prior to surgery. Then the surgical plan can be performed during surgery with the help of technology-assisted precision.
The technique is intended to allow for proper placement of the implant and for the surgeon to make decisions based on patient anatomy, condition and surgical needs.
It starts with careful preoperative planning. Preoperative imaging of the patient’s knee can be used to understand the individual anatomy and to plan the procedure before going into the operating room.
The technology can assist with the following:
Personalized Surgical Planning
The anatomy of the patient’s knee determines the size, location, and orientation of the implant.
Accurate Bone Preparation
The robot assists the surgeon in accurately performing the planned bone preparation.
Better implant placement
The implant placement and angle can be planned accurately.
Individual alignment
The technique provides for tailoring to the individual patient's knee anatomy and deformity.
Less handling of tissue
Careful surgical planning and preparation can lead to less disturbance of the surrounding tissues.
Early mobilisation
Depending on the general condition and recovery of the patient, some patients can start moving and rehabilitation soon after surgery.
The aim is to combine surgical expertise with robotic technology to create a well-planned, patient-specific knee replacement.
