Robotic Knee Surgery

Partial Knee Replacement is a surgical procedure that helps to relieve arthritis selectively affecting one or two of the three compartments of the knee. With partial knee replacement, only the damaged area of knee joint is replaced, which may help to minimize trauma to healthy bone and tissue.

Total Knee Replacement is a surgical procedure to replace the weight-bearing surfaces of the knee joint to relieve pain and disability. With total knee replacement, the diseased bone and cartilage is removed and replaced with metal prosthesis.

Robotic Knee Surgery – Robotic-arm assisted technology can be used for partial and total knee replacement, which is a procedure designed to relieve pain caused by joint degeneration due to osteoarthritis (OA). It is performed with Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic System, allowing for higher precision. Shorter recovery time is expected.

How does robotic surgery works?

• Have a Plan Personalized for you
  Start with a CT scan of your joint that is used to generate a 3D virtue Model of your unique anatomy. This virtual model is loaded into the Mako system software and is used to create your personalized pre-operative plan.


• In the Operating Room
  Your surgeon will use Mako to assist in performing your surgery based on your personalized pre-operative plan. The Mako system allows your surgeon to make adjustments to your plan during surgery as needed. When the surgeon prepares the bones for implant, the Mako system guides the surgeon within the pre-defined area that provide more accurate placement and alignment of your implant.


• After Surgery
  Your surgeon, nurses and physical therapists will set goals with you to get you back to full functional recovery. They will closely monitor your condition and progress. Your surgeon may review an X-ray of your new partial knee with you.

Benefits:

• Reduce damage to the surrounding bone and tissue
• Minimal blood loss
• Smaller scar
• Faster recovery
• Quicker rehabilitation
• Patients are able to return to a normal daily activities within weeks after the surgery

All implants have limited life expectancy that depends on many factors such as a patient’s weight, activity level, quality of bone and compliance with the doctor’s advice. The implant expected life span is about 15 to 20 years.

The next day after the surgery, you can get off the bed and walk with the help by our physiotherapist.
