The robotic system creates a 3D model of the patient’s knee and guides the surgeon throughout the operation. This ensures accurate placement of the implant, minimal bone removal, and a more natural joint movement after surgery.
Patients benefit from smaller incisions, less pain, reduced blood loss, and quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery. The advanced precision also improves implant alignment, which may extend the lifespan of the artificial knee.
This procedure is ideal for patients suffering from severe knee arthritis, chronic pain, or limited mobility who have not responded to conservative treatments such as medication, injections, or physical therapy.
Although robotic technology improves accuracy, it is still a surgical procedure and carries risks such as infection, blood clots, or implant complications. A thorough medical evaluation helps determine the safety and suitability of the surgery.
Most patients are able to walk with assistance within a day after surgery. With proper physical therapy and care, recovery is typically faster than traditional knee replacement, allowing patients to return to normal activities in a few weeks.
The cost of robotic knee replacement may be higher than traditional surgery due to advanced technology, but many insurance providers cover part or all of the expenses if medically necessary. Patients should confirm with their healthcare provider.
