Robotic-assisted Knee Replacement Surgery is similar to conventional knee replacement, except for the use of advanced imaging and instrumentation. Robotic technology enables surgeons to plan and perform knee replacement surgeries with a high degree of accuracy. It can be used for total knee replacement as well as partial knee replacement.
In complicated cases, robotic knee replacement allows for a better balance in the soft tissues surrounding your knee. Also, there is better alignment of the joint.
You prepare for robotic-assisted knee surgery the same way as you do for traditional knee surgery. Expert knee surgeons at Sohana Hospital explain the different knee surgery options to you, and which one will be better for you according to your condition.
The Orthopaedic Centre at Sohana Hospital has cutting-edge robotic tools that help our highly-trained knee surgeons develop an ideal surgical plan for you. It optimizes every step of your knee operation. The Cuvis Joint Robotic System can be used for both total knee replacement and partial knee replacement surgeries.
Specialized CAT scans of your knee are taken prior to a robotic knee replacement surgery. These precise imaging scans create a 3-D image of your knee joint, structure of bones, and tissues around the knee. With such detailed information, knee surgeons prepare a customized plan for every step of your knee surgery. And real-time computer navigation during the surgery allows cuts to be made with high precision - to the millimetre. These advanced facilities also help with getting the correct implant size and positioning it accurately.
If you are fit for conventional knee replacement surgery, you will likely be fit for robotic knee replacement too. It is vital that you discuss the prospects of robotic surgery with specialist knee surgeons at Sohana Hospital to see if it will be the best option for you.
Robotic knee surgery is ideal for even the most complicated knee joint conditions. It includes patients who suffer from:
1. Deformities in the femur (thighbone) due to some injury
2. Complex knee degeneration caused due to a combination of factors (wear and tear, previous injuries, or age-related factors)
3. Complications due to hardware from previous surgeries (metal implants - screws, plates, or pins - placed during a prior surgery to stabilize a bone fracture or correct a structural abnormality)
3-D images help surgeons accurately plan knee surgery.
Right size and better placement of artificial implant.
Longer-lasting implant due to less friction & wear-and-tear.
Successful even with challenging physical structure.
Less pain as surgery is done through minor cuts.
More natural-feeling knees that allow better movement.
In conservative knee replacement surgery, manual instruments are used to remove damaged knee tissue and place the artificial joint. With robotic knee replacement, a robotic arm, controlled by expert ortho surgeons at Sohana Hospital gives them real-time feedback, for more precise bone-cutting and alignment of the implant.
Robotic knee replacement is ideal for individuals with severe knee pain and disability (loss of mobility) due to ailments such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, injuries, and other conditions. Expert orthopaedists at Sohana Hospital will assess your specific condition(s) to determine if robotic knee replacement will be suitable for you.
It depends on the complexity of the individual case and other related factors. On an average, it takes 1 -2 hours under the skilful guidance of expert orthopaedists at Sohana Hospital.
Recovery after robotic knee replacement can vary from person to person. You should get proper physical therapy to regain strength and movement in the knee. It may take some weeks to some months for complete recovery. Your surgeon and physiotherapist will suggest specific postoperative care and rehabilitation protocols.
Robotic-assisted knee replacement offers several benefits over traditional surgery. There is more precise planning of surgery, accurate placement of implant, and improved balancing of soft tissue. The result is better alignment, more stable knees, more durable implants, and potentially faster recovery.
The number of people going for robotic knee replacement surgery in India is steadily going up. The reason is that the surgery cures you of your chronic knee pain. During initial days after surgery, you may have some pain, for which you will be prescribed pain medications. But in the long run, you will be relieved of your knee pain, and can start enjoying life once again.
