What is robotic knee replacement surgery?

Robotic knee replacement surgery is a minimally invasive surgery that uses a robotic arm to assist in the placement of the knee implant. This type of surgery requires less recovery time and results in less pain and scarring than traditional knee replacement surgery. Robotic knee replacement surgery is becoming increasingly popular due to the many benefits it offers patients. In addition to a shorter recovery time, patients who undergo robotic knee replacement surgery often experience less pain and fewer complications than those who have traditional knee replacement surgery. There are several reasons why robotic knee replacement surgery is so popular. • First, the use of a robotic arm allows the surgeon to make more precise cuts, which leads to less damage to the surrounding tissue. • Second, robotic surgery is minimally invasive, meaning that there is less trauma to the body during the procedure. • Finally, robotic knee replacement surgery results in less pain and scarring for the patient. If you are considering knee replacement surgery, be sure to discuss all of your options with your surgeon. Robotic knee replacement surgery may be right for you if you are looking for a minimally invasive option with a shorter recovery time. During the treatment, Dr. Anoop Jhurani uses a robotic arm to replace the knee joint. If necessary, an orthopedic surgeon will then remove damaged tissue and replace it with prosthetic joints—all while you are awake during this surgery. The procedure is minimally invasive, which means that only a small incision is necessary and there is less damage to the surrounding tissue. The robotic arm also allows Dr. Jhurani to manipulate the knee joint in ways that cannot be done manually. How does robotic knee replacement surgery work? Robotic knee replacement surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a computer-assisted device to precisely remove damaged bone and cartilage from the joint and position the implant. This results in a more natural fit and feel for the patient. The robotic knee replacement surgery begins with the doctor making small incisions around the knee. A camera is inserted through one of these incisions so the surgeon can have a clear view of the knee joint. The surgeon will then use the computer-assisted device to remove the damaged bone and cartilage. Once this is done, they will position the implant in place and secure it using special screws or pins. The whole procedure usually takes less than two hours and patients can typically go home the same day. Recovery times vary depending on the individual, but most people can expect to be back to their regular activities within four to six weeks.
