Robotic knee replacement integrates advanced robotics with traditional knee replacement surgery to enhance precision and accuracy in implant placement. It involves pre-operative planning and intra-operative assistance from a robotic arm.
1
Pre-operative Planning
A CT scan generates a 3D model of the knee, aiding the surgeon in planning the procedure.
2
Robotic Assistance
During surgery, the surgeon utilizes a robotic arm to precisely position the implants based on the pre-operative plan.
3
Real-time Feedback
The robotic system provides real-time feedback, enabling adjustments during the procedure to ensure optimal implant placement.
Minimally invasive knee replacement is a surgical approach that employs smaller incisions and specialised instruments to reduce tissue damage and promote quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery. This technique often results in less postoperative pain, reduced scarring, and shorter hospital stays. Patients generally experience faster rehabilitation and an earlier return to normal activities. The procedure also helps preserve healthy muscles and tissues around the knee, enhancing long-term outcomes. Advanced implant designs further support natural movement and improved joint function.
Rehabilitation
Physical therapy is essential for restoring strength, mobility, and function post-surgery.
Close Monitoring
Close monitoring of the patient’s progress and joint function is conducted to ensure proper healing and early detection of any issues.
Lifestyle Adjustments
Patients may need to make lifestyle adjustments and adhere to post-operative instructions to optimize recovery and long-term joint health.
