Robotic knee replacement

• Accuracy

The surgery is completed with the help of robotics which means there is more accuracy in the area of the knee which needs the surgery. The surgery is precise and restricted as exact incisions and angles can be targeted. This helps in securing the adjacent tissues which need no repair. The functioning of the robotic is such that it reduces the chance of putting the patient at risk. But one should be clear that it is robot-controlled and not robot-centered technique.

• Routine X ray required

There is no need for a CT scan before undergoing this surgery. In fact, a single CT scan is equivalent to the exposure of 48 chest X-rays received. It avoids CT scan by using an advanced computer program to collect anatomic and alignment information about your knee. So a patient is saved from such harmful radiations that otherwise may harm him in other forms. This feature distinguishes this surgery from others in the most beneficial way. Technology and AI converts x ray image to 3D bone model

• Computer Assisted

It takes the help of a computer program to decide the size of implants and amount of bone to be cut and ensure consistent and accurate results. It leaves no chance of any error. Such programs specifically work to deliver the best result of the surgery and removes the human interface error.

• Robotic Assisted Zig Placement

The intraoperative surgical procedure using is similar to traditional total knee replacement, but with a robotic assistant. Your surgeon has been specially trained to use ROSA Knee in order to personalize the surgical approach for your unique anatomy. It’s important to understand that the robot does not operate on its own. That means it does not move unless your surgeon prompts it to. Your surgeon is still in the operating room the entire time and is making all of the decisions throughout your surgery.

During the procedure, Robot utilizes a camera and optical trackers attached to your leg to know exactly where your knee is in space. It is like a very detailed global positioning system (GPS) which is we use in our car. Even If the leg moves even a fraction of an inch, the robot can tell and adjusts accordingly. This helps ensure that the plan put into place is executed as intended. The Robotic arms place the cutting guide with cent percent accuracy which is the essential step in surgery.

• Flexibility

It offers multiple implant options and dynamic ligament balancing at multiple stages.

• Validation

There is virtual confirmation of cuts pre and post bone removal, in achieving long leg alignment and joint balance for normal knee kinematics.

• Combination of surgeon’s expertise and robot’s precision

This surgery is not totally dependent either on the surgeon or on the robotically- assisted handpiece. It offers the benefits of a mix of surgeon’s expertise and robot’s precision which makes it more effective and beneficial for the patients. This surgery has done wonders for the patients who had given up and had lost hope to walk freely without any pain or any other problem in their knees. The awareness about this technique is very high which has created realization among the people about the importance of such treatment and how it is helping the community to live a life full of freedom.

This surgery ensures fast recovery of the patients since it is done with maximum precision which demands less time from the patients for their recovery

• The reliability rate is very high

Persons who have undergone this surgery are very much satisfied with the results and are able to feel the difference between their previous condition and present condition.
