Many times, due to diseases like increasing age, injury or arthritis, there is so much pain and tightness in the knees that it becomes difficult to do everyday work. In such a situation, doctors recommend knee replacement surgery. This surgery performs orthopedic surgeons, who are experts of bones and joints. In this, an artificial implant is replaced by removing the damaged part of the knee, which relieves pain and relieves the ability to move. Surgery is required when traditional treatment such as medicines, injections or physiotherapy stops affecting and the patient’s life starts to be severely affected.
The first Knee replacement surgery depended entirely on the doctor’s experience and surgical skills. There was more probability of estimating in bone cutting and implanting. The results were good, but recovery was long and the risk of problems was also high. Now with the development of technology, Robotic Knee Replacement has made this process further improved. In this, doctors remain the same, but they get the support of a robotic system which makes the patient’s knee model based on CT scan. Personalized surgery plan is prepared from this model. The robotic arm (machineic hand) prepares the bone in an accurate manner, causing less cut, low bleeding and less pain. As a result, the patient recovers quickly and the new knee feels more natural and stable. Deleting work
How does knee surgery occur in a robotic way?
Dr. Anuj Jain in the Department of Orthopedic and Joint Replacement at Kailash Hospital says that CT Scan of the patient is done before Karobotic Knee Replacement and 3D virtual model is prepared based on it. Seeing this model, the surgeons decide how the size, position and angle of the implant should be. During the operation, the surgeons are completely under control, but the robotic arm works with them. This arm only cuts the bone as it is already fixed in the surgical plane.
Its optical tracking system monitors the status of the patient’s bones and the movement of the robotic arm at all times. In this way, the surrounding muscles and tissue are not damaged. When the bone is prepared correctly, the implant is placed in a very accurate place. The goal of the whole process is that the patient gets relief from pain, knee is stable and natural and he can live a normal life quickly.
