Robotic Hip and Knee Replacement
Dr Sammy Hanna – The Best Orthopedic Surgeon for all types of hip and knee replacement surgeries.
Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery
A robotic knee replacement is similar to a traditional knee replacement. Your surgeon removes damaged tissue in your knee and replaces it with an artificial joint. The difference is that it’s done with assistance from a robotic arm, which allows for greater precision. In more complex cases, a robotic-assisted knee replacement offers a better balance in the soft tissues around your knee, and better aligns the joint.
If you’re having a robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery, you don’t have to prepare any differently than you would for a conventional surgery.
Your surgeon will discuss all knee replacement options available to you, including whether you are a good candidate for robotic joint replacement.
What are the Advantages of Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery?
There are several advantages of robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery when compared with traditional surgery.
Advantages include:
Enhanced Surgical Planning: Specialized 3-D images are taken in preparation for and during surgery. These images help your surgeon more accurately plan the optimal type and placement of your replacement joint to ensure the right size and fit.
Greater Precision: Robotic technologies enhance your orthopedic surgeon’s expertise for more precise planning, tissue removal and implant placement.
Optimal Joint Alignment: With robotic technology, your surgeon is 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.
Robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery is not done by a robot alone. Instead, it acts as a guide, helping your surgeon follow the plan laid out in advance.
Like during traditional surgery, your orthopaedic surgeon is in control, however, they use the robot as an additional surgical tool. The robot enhances your surgeon’s skills during all stages of your surgery to help deliver the best possible outcomes.
Robotic joint replacement uses more precise incisions and helps achieve optimal positioning.
After your surgery, your surgeon and the rest of your care team will monitor your progress, help to relieve discomfort, and chart a course for your at-home recovery.
